Using the Piano Maestro App

When I was a kid my piano teacher (whom I love dearly) would say the most dreaded four words I could hear, “Time for sight reading!” I despised sight reading. I wasn’t good at it, and the thought of reading through a not-so-interesting piece of music was not my idea of a fun time. Enter the year 2015. I am now the piano teacher and I have the pleasure of saying theĀ four words, “Time for Piano Maestro!” Piano Maestro is an app that makes students feel like they are playing a piano type video game. It tracks their correct notes and timing, and rates their performance allowing them to go to the next level in their “Journey” if they have mastered the task at hand. This app is filled with engaging songs both from a traditional perspective and a contemporary, radio-of-today perspective. Students love it! And the best part is that they don’t even realize that they are “sight reading!” Shhhhh…..don’t let them in on the secret. Thank you to Joytunes, the creators of Piano Maestro, for creating this innovative app for teachers and students! At AJ’s Music Factory we are always looking for the next advancements in piano teaching, and you have raised the bar.
