May 28, 2014 /prREACH/ -- Boulder, Co – May 14th 2014 – Music Wizard Next Gen, a software development company specializing in innovative and fun music education products, announced their new Piano Wizard Academy Homeschool Edition.
Chris Salter, the founder of Music Wizard said “The home school community has long embraced our product as a very easy, fun way to introduce a serious, 2 year, 100 song children’s piano curriculum into their home school studies. The game does the heavy lifting, with the kids learning surprisingly complex skills through simple game play. In addition, the Piano Wizard Academy Homeschool Edition has a 50 piano lesson video set that guides parents, non-music teachers and piano teachers alike on how to leverage the game, and get kids playing and reading real music at the piano in minutes, not months. We also added another 200 songs to the program, including 100 Christian hymns, bonus sheet music, access to our virtual academy, and more, so that home school parents can maximize results and savings for their whole family, for years to come.”
Introduced in 2005, Piano Wizard Academy® has consistently received rave reviews and multiple awards, as well as some surprisingly moving testimonials, some from special needs families. These parents of kids on the autistic spectrum and other challenges often have to be home schooled at least partially due to the lack of appropriate affordable resources. While Piano Wizard Academy has proven to be a great tool and means to introduce even complex music in a fun and engaging way, even with no previous therapeutic or musical training by the parents. It recently received the “Autism Approved” seal from the Autism Hope Alliance as confirmation of its effectiveness.
Home school families tend also to be larger, so the savings over traditional piano lessons are multiplied dramatically with each additional child. The ability to import virtually any song through the open source MIDI format means parents and kids alike can find and learn the songs they want to play. The Piano Wizard Academy HomeSchool Edition is available for both PC and MAC computers, and during this introductory summer sale, will include a free digital keyboard at no extra charge. They have also recently introduced an affordable payment plan to fit any budget, and extended their guarantee.
Chris Salter added, “ My background is in linguistics and music, so I sought to devise a way to learn music as easily as we learn to speak, read and write our native tongue. The latest music brain research, in dozens of studies, and our some of our own customers experiences, show potentially dramatic brain development and improvement with as little as 4 months of piano lessons, with those benefits continuing on for life in many cases. Who wouldn’t want smarter happier kids, especially if the piano lessons were fun instead of torture?”
