Product Description
Piano Wizard Premier combines the fun of a video game with the fundamentals of piano lessons. That means your child can sit up to a keyboard today and play anything from Bach to Bon Jovi. What once felt like practice now feels like play. What's more, you will never tire of the game. Children choose from four different fantasy worlds to play in. They can change the speed, the instrument sounds, the skill level, and more. And in addition to the MIDI songs that come standard with Piano Wizard Premier, thousands more can be downloaded from internet libraries. With Piano Wizard Premier, your child can download and play any MIDI song from virtually any artist, whether classical, pop, rock, country, or alternative.

 Beware of the MIDI cable July 30, 2006
Kevan Kwong (San Jose, CA USA)

First beware of the MIDI cable that is supplied with the software. If it is the M-Audio Uno USB-MIDI cable (which is what I have), it might not work with your keyboard. This MIDI cable is not 100% compatible with all keyboards, especially with the Yamaha keyboards. I got an Yamaha keyboard and it took me 3 days to figure out what is the problem. And I ended up buying a separate USB-MIDI cable, Yamaha UX16, which cost me another $50 bucks.
However, once I got this to work correctly, my kid loves to play with it. That's good. The only problem is the program is meant to be a game, and not a piano lecture. It does not teach proper fingering, techniques and etc... So, don't think you can use this to learn piano. However, it does make playing piano a lot more fun, especially if your kids or yourself like to play video games.
Overall, this program is a good fun musical game. The price is a bit steep.
 A great computer game June 21, 2006

This is a brilliant computer game that teaches kids to play piano while having fun. I was quite amazed how my nine year old got hooked playing piano through this game. He gets to choose the song he wants to play, the background and the objects he wants to see, and then scores by pressing the correct key on the piano. I was quite amused watching my kid scrambling his little fingers, trying to find the correct key while his eyes were fixated on the screen. He improved his score from 23% to 97% in the very first hour he played.
