piano wiz.jpgUntil not so long ago, the best way to learn an instrument was to buy or rent the real thing, and then commit to regular lessons from a real life teacher. Things have changed, especially for piano, as a full size MIDI keyboard can run you less than $100 these days. Combine that with a cool program like Music Wizard Group’s Piano Wizard, and you can get yourself on the path to the concert hall for a fraction of what it used to cost.

Piano Wizard is a customizable and complex piano program that can take you from beginner to pro through a series of exercises and games. They even include stickers to put on your keys to help remember which key is what. The program earned a 4 star rating at MacNN, so if you’re an aspiring keyboardist / pianist but don’t have the scrilla to lay down for weekly lessons, this could be an effective, fun way to hone your skill.
