Piano Virtuoso with Maestro, 1.0 Instructor Edition.
Piano Virtuoso with Maestro, 1.0 Instructor Edition; includes 2 student versions (and instruction book). Wickes, Inc. (111 Oak Meadow Dr, Simpsonville, SC 29681), 2004. 43 pp. $59.95.
This software packet comes with an instructor CD-ROM, two 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 system Windows 95 or later. This program cannot be used on a Macintosh computer.
The software is designed to be custom tailored to each student's need and level. The instructor CD-ROM allows the teacher to create a profile for each student and determine what theory skills are appropriate for that student. The profiles are then saved as "games" on individual diskettes for students to take home and work on. Each student's game can be preprogrammed to include a wide variety of specific concepts: chords, scales, rhythm, intervals, symbols, terminology, ear training, key signatures and note identification. For example, one may set up a student's game to include just the major key scales of C, G and F, and another student's game to include the minor key scales of A, E, D, G and C. Once the student completes segments of the games, the teacher can insert the diskette into his or her computer and analyze ...
