The Piano Wizard Inside of Us
Author : Guiller A.
What are the requirements to become a good piano player, or a
piano wizard? Many people say that you require the gift of
talent, others say passion, desire, patience, etc. I myself
believe that it is a combination of all those, but most
importantly; practice, patience and love for music in general.
This year the world celebrates the 250 anniversary of the birth
of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a true genius and piano wizard. He
had the talent, but mostly he had the love and respect for
music, and decided to follow this path to let the world know of
his feelings, which were expressed through his music and
wonderful compositions. Definitely, this world would be better
off if more people would engage in expressing feelings and love
for each other through the art of well-composed music that
enhances our spirits and reaches our souls, then having these
feelings resonate and reach the rest of us.
That is why,
I believe more people should take advantage to learn to play the
piano or any other instrument for that matter. There are ways
that we could use technology so that time could be well spent by
learning and acquiring new interests and talents, discovering
the wizard inside ourselves. One such instrument is the piano
learning software from Allegro Multimedia. This software video
game combination, called the Piano Wizard is used
with your home computer and comes with all the system drivers
and options you need to get started playing the music that you
enjoy and that you always wanted to play. One great thing about
it is that you have the option of selecting from the 128
different music virtual instruments.
If you already have
a keyboard that has the MIDI interface, then you do need to buy
another, unless you want to upgrade your system. This game comes
with many MIDI files that you can upload to your computer and it
is ready to play any of them by following the notations
displayed on the screen. This video game will provide and
excellent music, hand and ear coordination basics that will
become a solid foundation for when you or your children are
ready to take more serious classes with an individual teacher.
Get involved and join the celebrations for this Mozart 250
anniversary in your area and let music appreciation become part
of your daily lives. I suggest you visit Mozart's World to
check some of the activities that are going on this year.
