Rocket Piano Reviewed

By Irma Larosa


Being able to play a musical instrument is often a dream of most of us. And nothing can be more ambitious than learning how to play the piano. But the problem is that learning how to do so isn't easy.

One obstacle that you have to go through with is the fact that you need to fit in piano lessons into your busy schedule and every sessions costs $50.

The alternative is to find an online piano course.

Some advantages with availing of an online piano course is that you only have to pay for the one time fee thus making you save a lot more and you get to be the master of your own time because it's entirely up to you when you want those lessons.

You can choose from so many online piano courses in the internet however I find one significant course quite different from the rest.

What makes this course really unique is the fact that it uses different platforms, significantly games, to help users learn. This course was devised by Ruth Searle, a famous pianist from New Zealand.

Included in the course package are three e-books, some audio files, videos as well as game software. Because of the variety of media offered, the student can take her pick of the platform that suits him.

Let's say, the student learns better by reading books, the e-books contain illustrations and clear instructions to facilitate learning.

But what is really interesting is the fact that the course has merged games with learning. An example is the game Jayde Musica Pro.

This game is designed to help the student learn how to read piano sheets for single notes. If you want to learn how to read chords, you would want to play Chordinator.

The course is structured into three parts which helps in organizing the lessons that one wants to take part in.

But if you have mastered your way from the novice to the pro stage, that doesn't mean that you stop there. Rocket Piano also contains Advanced Learning Techniques for Piano.
