Piano Virtuoso with Maestro, 1.0 Instructor EditionPiano Virtuoso with Maestro, 10 Instructor Edition; includes 2 scholar versions (and instruction book). Wickes, Inc. (111 Oak Meadow Dr Simpsonville, SC 29681) 2004 43 pp $5995 This software packet draw nears with an instructor CD-ROM, sum of two units student CD-ROMs, two student game diskettes and a brief instruction manual. It is designed for a PC with a CD-ROM and 3 1/2-inch floppy drive, running the operating combination of parts to form a whole Windows 95 or later. This program cannot be used upon a Macintosh computer. The software is designed to be custom tailored to each student's ne and horizontal The instructor CD-ROM allows the teacher to create a profile for each learner and determine what theory skills are appropriate for that learner The profiles are then saved as "games" upon individual diskettes for students to take residence and work on. Each student's game can be preprogrammed to include a wide variety of specific concepts: chords, scales, regular [i]or[/i] melodious movement intervals, symbols, terminology, ear training, lock opener signatures and note identification. For example, single may set up a student's game to include just the major lock opener scales of C, G and F and another student's game to include the minor lock opener scales of A, E, D G and C one time the student completes segments of the games, the teacher can insert the diskette into his or her computer and analyze follows through line graphs, group charts, pie charts and bar charts. A student's diskette may be modified as many times as necessityed for the next take-home session. The teacher also may station up groups of students to play the theory games simultaneously, each at their have a title to level. My main complaint about the program is it is titled as an "Interactive Learning System" when it actually simply proofs concepts, records scores and displays graphs. I diocese this not as an interactive learning tool, on the contrary as a testing and evaluation tool. A next to the first complaint is the simplicity of the gaze of the program's graphics, layout, interaction and in the way that forth in comparison to the video games many children play daily upon their cell phones and abode video-game units. On a testing/evaluating basis, the program's authors did a real thorough job. However, as a pedagogical tool, I believe this software is lacking because the general [i]or[/i] abstract notions are not taught and practiced end repetition before they are trialed In my opinion, the instructors who will derive the greatest in quantity benefit from this software are those who teach theory conceptions during a lesson and desire an application to experiment and record students' theory scores.
