Review: Rocket Piano

Rocket Piano, "The Fastest and Easiest Way to Learn to Play Piano"

To be honest, I was sceptical. "The fastest and easiest
way to learn to play piano?" Having come from the old
school of private lessons with a real live teacher, I
could not imagine a software course being able to
actually compete with traditional methods. However I was ready to give it a try.

I was immediately impressed with the amount of material
included in the course. Especially since the price is
about what you would pay for one lesson with a good
private teacher.

The material I found was thorough and well illustrated
with diagrams and 57 video lessons. There were also 133
sound files demonstrating the various techniques in the
course. Also included are 3 computer games designed to
help you learn to read music and play by ear.
Various styles covered are jazz, rock, gospel, blues and
classical.

Conclusion and Recommendations:

Do I think Rocket Piano can replace a real live teacher?
No. However, if you are having a hard time finding a
teacher, or cannot afford the price of a teacher, then
this program might be worth a look. Or if you have a
busy schedule and cannot find time for a weekly lesson,
this might be a good alternative. Although the program
is advertised as being for beginning students to
advanced, it is probably more appropriate for an older
child with parental assistance. Might also be great for
a home school environment. Busy adults may
also find this beneficial. Professionals will probably
not find anything new here, but all in all for $39.95, this program has a lot of "bang for the buck!" Check out Rocket Piano today!

Or at least try out the 6 free lessons. What have you got to lose?
