ABC News correspondent Buck Wolf says, “While many computer programs teach music, Piano Wizard Premier turns anything from Bach to Billy Joel into a video game in which you’ll be guiding a rocket ship with a color-coated keyboard, while picking out a tune and learning chord progressions.”

Mike Goldfein: calls Piano Wizard “one of his favorite things.”

“Your child can sit up to a keyboard today and play anything from Bach to Bon Jovi. They will not even know they are practicing because they are simply playing a game.”

“Piano Wizard combines the fun of a video game with the fundamentals of piano lessons.”

“While the debate continues about whether video games make your kids smarter or turn their brains into vortexes of violence and mush, here’s one that develops a talent.”

“Piano Wizard is the music learning video game that painlessly teaches anyone to play the piano. It gives every player instant success and joy, because they will immediately be able to play their favorite songs!”

“Piano Wizard is a successful adaptation of the gaming genre to serious music lessons. Piano Wizard is a revolutionary teaching platform that is changing the way kids learn piano.”

“Does the program excite kids about music and keyboards, help them build essential musical skills, and reinforce that practicing can be fun? Absolutely.” Ernie Rideour who taught music in public schools for many years before becoming Keyboard’s editor in Chief was also impressed. “It improves the kinesthetic response. It helps build the connection between the musical idea and fingers.”

“Considering that many kids learn to run a computer before they learn to read, this could be the teaching system of the future.”

“How good is it? Our testers could play the songs they had learned on Piano Wizard on a real piano later that same day – without having to be nagged to do so!”

COMPUTER TIMES “We test many products at Computer Times that perform well and earn our Editor’s Choice Award. Seldom though, do we find a product that is as exciting as Piano Wizard Academy! As an editor, educator and musician, if we had metals to award along with our Editor’s Choice Award, I would certainly present Piano Wizard with the Gold Medal.”

WIRED MAGAZINE “One of the Best Gadgets and Gizmos on the Planet 2007.”

NY DAILY NEWS NY Daily News Martha McKay said, “I was skeptical until the piano wizards enticed me to try and there I was, playing some kind of sonata or other. It was nice to find a computer video game that actually teaches something significant.”
