Luckily there is a demo version which includes 1 free song lesson and 1 free bootcamp lesson.

#PIANO PLAYGROUND SESSIONS REVIEW SOFTWARE#

$149.00 is a lot to pay for a software package and the relatively small selection of songs is a concern. As is, you’ll have to supply your own motivation and $’s when you want to learn new songs. It would be great if you could win credits to purchase additional lessons by improving your stats as you practice songs. But unlike with a real live instructor, the software does not really motivate you to practice more. I found the Playground Sessions software easy to use and the video lessons easy to understand and follow. You can even let your friends know about your progress via Facebook and compare your stats to others using the software. You can track your progress with each song that you’re learning and the time you’ve devoted to it. I tend to get flustered when I miss a note and then it’s hard to get back into the rhythm of the song.Īfter each practice session, you’ll be shown a progress chart with your accuracy level and a segmented chart that displays your percentage of right notes, wrong notes and almost right notes. I do wish that there was an option to slow the tempo even further or have the option to play the notes without any time constraints at all. If you want to work on a specific section of the song, it can be highlighted and looped as many times as you need. This gives you immediate feedback to let you know if you’re playing the section correctly and gives your practice session a slight video game feel. As you play along, the notes you play correctly will turn Green, wrong notes will turn Red and notes you almost got right will turn Pink. You can also toggle drums and bass back up instruments while practicing. You can practice each section in slow or normal tempo with a metronome that can be turned on or off to help you keep time with the music. The keys on the onscreen keyboard play along as David plays each part so you can see the notes and positions.

The I’ll Be There rookie version that I started with has 11 different video parts because David breaks the song down into manageable chunks like Opening, Verse, Chorus and then each of those parts is broken down further into Left hand, Right hand and both hands. What do you get for your $6 per version?Įach song lesson version has several parts. So it can get expensive if you purchase the $6 rookie version + $6 intermediate version + $6 advanced version (not every song in their library has an advanced lesson). That’s the price for each version of the song. If you want additional songs, they will cost you $6 with the video walk through or $4 without. Like I mentioned the initial purchase of the software will get you 3 songs. The versions of each song can be purchased with or without a video walk through lesson from David Sides the instructor. Each song has several different types of lessons available that range from beginner to advanced.

But there are more contemporary songs from One Republic, The Fray, Five for Fighting and other bands. The first one I downloaded was I’ll Be There by the Jackson 5. Their song library currently only has 15 songs to choose from.

The video lessons can take quite a while to download depending on your broadband connection and have to be downloaded one at a time. The software is priced at $149.00 and comes with 3 songs of your choice and 27 bootcamp lessons for rookie (beginner) to intermediate. They all have to be downloaded through the interface. The actual lessons aren’t part of the initial software download.
