The scores can be uploaded online, which is pretty cool, but at the end of the day I guess that's just the same as practicing songs normally.<br /><br />It'd be nice to have something that is close to mindless, yet very resourceful for learning.Le Wizhttp://lewizpiano.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-47428490240460938322013-11-15T15:02:31.171-05:002013-11-15T15:02:31.171-05:00How about

At least for some skills and situations.<br /><br />For example, I think games can be a helpful way for some people to get started with music. Especially adults who might have some initial trepidations about picking up an instrument.<br /><br />Though it's a tricky line, because at some point to really help people be musical, I think it's about encouraging them to put away technology and really just -listen- and -feel-.<br /><br />I'm working on a site which is trying to use these ideas to help people learn music: http://musikata.com .<br /><br />If this interests you, I'd love to talk more about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-52975997468799211942013-11-03T10:48:58.529-05:002013-11-03T10:48:58.529-05:00Free of charge online games are generally one of t...Free of charge online games are generally one of the fascinating ways of leisure.

http...Chris, <br /><br />I was just sent this in an email - <br /><br />http://www.pianomarvel.com/<br /><br />Are you familiar with this software? I checked out the testimonials on the website and also with a piano pedagogy group I'm part of on Facebook and both said that students love the feedback and the trophy's they earned from their progress. It inspired competition with themselves and with each other. Looks like it might be a good addition to the studio!Sarahhttp://www.maybeepianostudio.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-75162161881739662902013-10-27T18:50:19.100-04:002013-10-27T18:50:19.100-04:00Me too!Me too!Chris Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05248396106719265480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-66024810285655386192013-10-27T15:25:38.383-04:002013-10-27T15:25:38.383-04:00I agree!

I'd love to do the same with my piano students but I think it would require a great deal more time together on a regular basis - like several times a week, and to maybe create a "game" out of reaching those goals. As long as the musical goals, the skills needed to play/learn, and the students appetite to gather both are clear and present then the groundwork for learning could possibly become "addicting." I've noticed that exceptionally good musicians often had parents that were very involved, engaging and able to monitor their progress on a daily level. Thanks for sharing.... I'm thinking of the possibilities now. Sarahhttp://www.maybeepianostudio.comnoreply@blogger.com
