Being a musician doesn’t come easy. Over the past 18 years I have done my best to learn a bunch of different instruments… I can play all the woodwinds…and I have even learned some brass… But I could never figure out the String Instruments – Such as Piano and Guitar. Piano Marvel is a program that was created to help musicians learn how to play – Especially piano.
A little about Piano Marvel: Piano Marvel is an online piano teaching and assessment software that can be used with or without a private piano teacher. There are great tools for teachers to track each of their students practice times and progress with practice logs, which can be emailed to students’ parents, grandparents, etc.. Students play along with the computer and receive scores that earn them bronze, silver, and gold trophies, which are placed into their own virtual trophy case. Immediate feedback is given, so that students know exactly how to improve their performance. Correct notes turn green while wrong notes turn red and show whether a note was played late, early, or in the wrong key. There are two trophy cases; one for the Piano Marvel Method and the other for technique exercises. (PianoMarvel)

The wonderful people over at Piano Marvel are sponsoring a giveaway for my ABE giveaway! I am so excited about being able to share this company with you. When I originally tried to teach my self how to play piano, I was more confused than anything. I knew how to read treble clef – because that is what I read while playing Clarinet. So learning to read Bass Clef was a little difficult for me. I have played around with the Piano Marvel program for a little bit. I love how it takes you from the VERY Basic Whole Notes….and works you up the program. Another thing that I love about this program – their page loading icon… It’s a metronome… And no, it does not mean that the pages load slow – because they don’t. It is just a very cute way of incorporating another aspect of music in their program. Piano Marvel has 2 Trophy Showcases that has 6 shelves each…and each shelf has 5 trophies… each trophy has different lessons that you need to complete. And if you don’t want to learn Piano, you can also use the Piano Marvel program to learn Guitar, Bass Guitar and also Drums. I can not wait to find a correct Midi Connector for a bass guitar… at a great price… Because That is the instrument I am DYING To learn…and what a better way to learn than on your own time. I don’t have the time to go to guitar lessons – because most guitar teachers are not available at 10/11pm at night…
