Piano Wizard Academy includes:
The Piano Wizard Academy Family 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.
We found the brightest piano teaching team in the country, and captured them on video, teaching the first 50 songs in the game. 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 Academy Family 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.
