“My students’ rhythmic accuracy and sight reading has gone through the roof. Students are excited with the challenge of going from 70-80-90-100% score on a new piece. They don’t want to stop until they get that TOP score. What an ingenius computer game that inspires repeated practice to PERFECT a piece before going to a new piece”.
