Soft Way to Mozart piano teaching software Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the delux software for my 2 1/2 year old after researching on all other available options and felt the need to leave a feedback. I am a music teacher for 20+ years. For American kids who don't get forced to practice and for younger children ( age 6 and under), the most difficult of my job is to teach them how to read music --most parents pay piano teachers to teach reading music. I wish I can teach them "music" instead of how to read notes repeatedly. Given that, doremifasoft is the best method I've seen in terms of teaching reading music an easy/fun/efficient way. I like it that the software has left/right/both hands and students can get on playing real song with real staff music notes right away. My 2 year 8 month toddler was able to play hot cross buns (right hand) on her own in a few minutes -- that's how easy to get started. The softare offers lots of games which i think beating around bushes -- I would just start with playing real songs. There are problems too 1. The software can not replace a teacher to teach rhythm. .2 Sample songs are too fast to be used as a demo --- they should have a slower version and a normal speed version. 3. Setting up the software was so much pain for me and there is not much tech support from doremifasoft nor from Casio nor the midi wire connection manufacture. Before u buy it, I definitely recommend that you download doremifasoft free demo and make it work consistanly. The software may not work with your computer or keyboard. Make sure the midi connection is compatible to ur computer operating system. So far my software and piano sometimes have a delayed response--annoying when you are in a middle of a song. 4. Deluxe version is probably a waste of money because by the time you learned to play the standard versions songs, you've known how to play any songs. 5. It's a great software but like all other music software, it can not replace a teacher/parent. As a parent, you definitely still need to support your child's pracice. A teacher is crucial so the kids are hitting keys with the right way and eventually playing "music" beautifully instead of hitting video-game notes. Hope this helps those who are considering buying it.

Yamaha DGX640W Digital Piano,Walnut Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We just bought one of these because my daughter needed
a keyboard or piano that would respond to touch like a
piano for her piano lessons. Although I am a beginner
piano player myself, I think the keys behave like real
piano keys (in terms of response to force of touch)
and the sound is just incredible--I would not know
the difference between this and a real piano if I
couldn't see them. There is an amazing number of things
you can do with it, although we haven't really worked
through them yet--practice songs (although the repertoire
is not huge; maybe 20 or so songs) and play to a very large
variety of background rhythms and accompaniments, as well
as export what you've played to a computer. I'm not sure
we'll use all these features, because we really just
got it for the weighted key action and it does beautifully
at that, but they're nice to have for the future if we
do continue to play. My daughter adds, "it will keep me
busy for a long time."
It's a decent-looking machine
but is not a beautiful piece of furniture like a piano;
the "wood" portions are clearly synthetic, but seem
sturdy.
We bought it locally for about the same price listed
here and paid about $75 for delivery, but it came with
headphones and bench so I thought it was a good deal.
