Why the “Video Game” Generation Needs Piano Marvel
Apr 23, 2010 Piano Marvel
There will never be a suitable substitute of a great piano teacher. But piano teachers are finding, more than ever, that kids lack the attention span necessary to practice sufficiently each week. It seems that our “sound-byte” society is becoming more and more accustomed to quick and entertaining doses of learning and favoring that over traditional (tedious) methods.
With that in mind, it seems appropriate for piano teachers to find tools that capitalize on this trend rather than fighting against it. As children become passionate about piano and more proficient their maturity and discipline will improve. But for those starting out, Piano Marvel can be an excellent shove in the right direction. Since it’s built with the ability to reflect the grace of music notation but coupled with the entertainment value of a typical scrolling video game, Piano Marvel can help to engage young minds and facilitate education. While most piano teachers eschew piano games or piano video games (as they should) Piano Marvel is high-quality educational software (used in universities and public schools in many states) which happens to make-use of the addictive qualities of video games.
