In addition to the Piano Wizard software we also offer Piano Wizard Music Academy.  The Music Academy DVD and song book packages support parents and educators of children learning to play piano.  These empower you to encourage and support your children even if you do not have a musical background.

 

Even though Piano Wizard Software is a stand alone system that makes learning piano easier than it has ever been before. Research has shown that when Piano Wizard is combined with the support of a parent or teacher, who knows how to utilise the game as a tool, much faster results are achieved.  For example in a short 90 minute a day holiday programme, in 4 days children had learned 12-20 songs, and on the 5th day they were reading sheet music and playing at the grand piano.  All in a single week!

The Piano Wizard Music Academy Tutorial Pack includes everything a family needs to learn to play 50 songs on a real piano. The package covers all the elements of basic musicianship, and is comparable to the first year of private piano instruction.

The amazing teaching team of Don and Delayna Beattie use an inspirational and entertaining teaching style, including songs, improvisation, singing, and dancing. They're just plain fun to watch!

Don and Delayna use an easy-to-follow commentary as they introduce the essentials of basic music theory (such as phrasing, fingering, scales, harmony, and technique). Their tutorials empower a close relationship between mentor and student (or parent and child), and are designed to ignite the musical potential in every student.

The Music Academy Tutorial Pack also includes the sheet music for all 50 songs. (We've known kids to step through the 4 levels in the game, take the sheet music to a real piano, and play the same song in about a half-hour.) In combination with the video tutorials, families now have everything they need to transition seamlessly from the game to playing on a real piano.

This method, used by mainstream and special needs kids alike, has been hailed a breakthrough in music education. The magic of playing a musical instrument is now a reality for the entire family.

Music Wizard Academy and Piano Wizard Software when combined really do turbo charge your learning.  

Package Includes:

• Piano Wizard Premier Software
• Expert Advice from  Professor Don and Delayna Beattie
• 50 DVD Lessons on 10 DVD’s
• 5 Lesson Books with Lyrics and Sheet Music

Academy 50 Pack takes you on a journey to true musicianship with 50 DVD lessons hosted by the Beatties, as well as five corresponding lesson books. This complete set is comparable to two years children’s curriculum. Beginning lessons start with the black keys only, then incorporate the white keys and note reading. Intermediate lessons move on to tempo, rhythm, and key signatures, playing songs with both hands. As you advance, the lessons bring all five fingers of each hand into play, and you will learn more advanced terms and techniques like solfege singing, using a piano's sustain pedal, playing harmony, the E Lydian scale, dynamics, different rhythm styles, as well as tips on composing your own music.

Lessons offer familiar song titles like Amazing Grace, Jingle Bells and the theme of Beethoven's Fur Elise. And with titles like Beethoven's Ode to Joy and the theme of Pachelbel's Canon, students will discover music as a language of the heart.
