The Startling Truth About Piano Lesson Software by Tony Dunne
The most recent advances in computer technology are having a significant effect on how music is being taught. Most recently, sites like YouTube and Viddler.com have enabled all of us, not only to make our own videos, but also to upload them onto the internet for millions of people to see. All this is completely transforming Music Tuition and, recently, it has spawned an ever increasing range of piano lesson software.
But how does this new form of musical tuition compare with the more traditional route of personal, one-to-one lessons with a private teacher?
This article reveals the startling truth about piano lesson software and the implications this has for your learning experience as a musician.
There are those who say the only way to learn How To Play Piano properly is by signing up for a long series of weekly piano lessons with a personal tutor looking over your shoulder. They claim that only a personal tutor can ensure you learn the right things in the right order, ensuring you make the right kind of progress from beginner, through intermediate level and on towards becoming an advanced pianist.
And, guess what? They are absolutely right, for a certain kind of pianist, usually one who is devoted to playing classical music and taking examinations.
But there are lots of would-be musicians who, whilst they are serious about their playing, don’t want to take this traditional route. Although they are willing to work hard and put in the necessary practice time, they want something less formal. And, if you’re one of these musicians, a more interactive solution, such as you can find on the internet, is the perfect choice.
Let’s have a look at why that should be the case:
1. More people than ever are completely at ease with their home computer and spend hours surfing the internet each week. As far as learning to play the piano is concerned, all you need to do is download the program, connect your computer to a piano or keyboard and away you go.
2. Online lessons enable you to practice when you want and to arrange your playing around all your other interests
3. Everything you can expect from a traditional piano lesson can be compressed into a computer software program, so you needn’t worry about missing out on any of the essential building blocks of Music Instruction, such as notation, scales, chords, time signatures, rhythm and so on
4. Music tuition via a software program can produce a much more enjoyable, even infectious way to learn these basic building blocks. For example, interactive games have been developed to enable you to perform a huge range of musical tasks, such as identifying notes, playing scales and chords, and much more.
5. Many people struggle to afford the recurring fees charged by private music tutors. In contrast, when you buy a software program you are normally charged a single payment, or you can buy self-contained lessons, such as piano for blues or jazz, for a relatively small charge.
CONCLUSION
The startling truth about piano lesson software is that it could give you complete control over your musical journey. Music tuition software is getting simpler to understand and use, and the best packages are so intuitive that most people with a little computing experience can use them.
This doesn’t necessarily exclude traditional piano lessons. You may still want the personal attentions of a tutor at some point in your career as a musician. But piano lesson software brings Music Lessons right to your desktop at home so you can decide exactly how you learn. And, there’s even more startling news. Online tuition is only in its infancy, so it will continue to get simpler and more interactive, and will present new pianists with even greater and more enjoyable challenges in the future.

Banjo of Destiny $14.95 Jeremiah Birnbaum is stinking rich. He lives in a house with nine bathrooms, a games room, an exercise room, an indoor pool, a hot tub, a movie theater, a bowling alley and a tennis court. His parents, a former hotdog vendor and window cleaner who made it big in dental floss, make sure Jeremiah goes to the very best private school, and that he takes lessons in all the things he will need to know how to do as an accomplished and impressive young man. Etiquette lessons, ballroom dancing, watercolor painting. And, of course, classical piano. Jeremiah complies, because he wants to please his parents. But one day, by chance, he hears the captivating strains of a different kind of music — the strums, plucks and rhythms of a banjo. It”s music that stirs something in Jeremiah”s dutiful little soul, and he is suddenly obsessed. And when his parents forbid him to play one, he decides to learn anyway — even if he has to make the instrument himself. |
