Fun Piano Software To Help Children

Fun Piano Software To Help Children
and Adult Beginners Learn To
Read Piano Notes

	Hi, I'm Dr. Anthony Fernando and I'd like to welcome you to PianoIsFun.com. If you've been searching for a fun way to teach your children how to read music then perhaps I can help. A few years ago I was in exactly the same position as you. I was searching for a piano software program to help my nephew Michael learn his piano notes.
	As a professional software developer and a musician with over twenty years of experience I knew what I was looking for.

Searching for piano software

I started out searching Google for 'piano software' but the only programs I found were very monotonous drills and I knew my nephew would find these games dull and boring.

What I was really wanted was a program that would:

• Introduce the notes gradually
• Teach both the note names and where to find the notes on the piano keyboard
• Clearly explain the difference between the Treble and Bass clef notes
• Allow me to select which notes to practice
• Use bright and colorful animation
• Be so much fun that my nephew would keep coming back for more

After a lot of research, I realized that the piano software I was looking for just didn't exist, so I decided to create it myself. Five months later... Piano Is Fun was born!

"I just wanted to send a quick note to let you know that my children absolutely love 'Piano Is Fun' They started this morning and have been taking turns on it all day. They are so thrilled by the rewards that they don't even notice they are learning. Thanks for designing such great software, I wish I'd had it when I was learning piano." S. Wyard (Parent)

The Easiest Way To Learn The Piano Notes
And Keyboard Positions

Piano Is Fun makes learning the piano notes easy and enjoyable. The features of the software include:

20 Step-by-Step Lessons

The 20 step-by-step lessons introduce students to the notes and keyboard positions of the piano gradually so that they never feel intimidated or overwhelmed.

Interactive Exercises

Students discover the names of the notes through interactive exercises and games that ensure that they develop true note recognition skills instead of memorizing silly rhymes.

Practice Games That Teach

The worst thing about most tutorial programs is that they don't actually teach students anything. Instead, they just test what students already know using repetitive drills.

Each lesson of Piano Is Fun includes a Practice Game which allows students to learn at their own pace without getting frustrated.

Helps Beginners Develop A "Musical Ear"

Each time a student correctly identifies a note name or locates the correct key on the piano, they hear the actual sound of the note through the computer. This helps them to develop their sense of pitch.

Collectible Rewards To Provide Motivation

When they complete a lesson, students receive a special reward on their personal progress page. These rewards allow you to monitor their progress and also act as form of motivation. (It's incredible to see how motivated students become when it comes to collecting their rewards!)

Bronze, Silver And Gold Medallion Challenges

The Bronze, Silver and Gold Medallion Challenges bring everything together on the Grand Staff. The challenges include the note names and keyboard positions of the Bass and Treble clefs. This helps students transition to reading music in the real world.

Printable Certificates

When a student completes a medallion challenge, they are rewarded with a trumpet fanfare and are presented with a Certificate of Achievement. These certificates are a valuable form ofpositive reinforcement (And look great in a frame next to their piano)

Custom Lessons

If a student is having problems with particular notes, Piano Is Fun allows you to create a customized lesson to address their specific problem. Just go to the 'Custom Lesson' screen and select any number of notes from the treble and bass clefs and Piano Is Fun will then create a custom lesson to help.

Keep Track Of Up To 50 Students

Piano Is Fun tracks the progress of up to 50 individual students. You can check a student's progress page at any time to find out how they are going. If you're a teacher this allows you to quickly determine which students are struggling so that you can help when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the answers to the questions I am most frequently asked:

Can I use Piano Is Fun with a MIDI keyboard?

No - Piano is fun does not use a MIDI keyboard. The program is completely self contained and uses an onscreen keyboard as shown in the video. All you need is your computer.

After going through all 20 lessons and learning to read music, most students find it very easy to transfer their new knowledge to a real piano or keyboard.

Is Piano Is Fun suitable for Adult Beginners?

I designed Piano Is Fun for my nephew so it was designed for children. However, what has surprised me is that many adult beginners have used the program to improve their sight reading. If you're young at heart and are open to playing a fun game that will help you learn to read music then Piano Is Fun can definitely help.

Is Piano Is Fun Mac Compatible?

Unfortunately no. Piano Is Fun can currently only be used on computers running Windows 98, 2000, XP or Vista. I am hoping to create a Mac version in the future.
