The interactive beginner software for PianoKids

 

PSuitePiano Suite Premier

The interactive software tutor for PianoKids songs

"Dear PianoSuite:
Your soft-ware for computers is awsome! It really helps me break up my piano playing and focus the parts of what I need to work on, like the timing for notes. Thats helped me a lot! Your software is great"

Sincerely,
Clark Cone
4th Grade student
Now you can install on your home PC the same song learning software we use in our PianoKids studios (Windows only). Kids love the software. It is the highlight of every lesson. But having it at home is more than just fun. It will help your child to prepare better for lessons, continue with guided practicing during vacations, and when they miss a lesson, to be able to learn new songs on their own. All 4 PianoKids levels are included, as well as hundreds of other (more advanced) songs.

The program tracks what the player does on a keyboard connected to the computer. Any keyboard with USB connection would do (like the ones used by PianoKids students). Because the program was customized for the PianoKids® song library students can feel as if there was a teacher (or coach) right there with them as they practice at home. PSuite2

The program also includes entertaining games that further improve sight reading and keyboard playing.

Here is how it works:

  • Just Notes - tracks if you pressed the right key. If not, a red X shows you where you are and where you should've been.
  • Just Rhythm - lets you tap the rhythm with just 2 fingers (really easy), and then it tells you where you were off.
  • Notes & Rhythm - Puts it all together and tracks how accurately you are playing. You can set the tempo (speed) as low as you want, to make it even easier.

PSuite3Then there is a whole music theory course, a recoding module that lets you make up your own songs and print them out (after editing them to your heart's content). And finally - lots of music games.

Even if you won't let your child play video games, here is a way to let them do it for an educational purpose. The end result is more fun in practicing, and coming to lessons better prepared.
