Tickle Me Elmo Xtreme Woes?
Can't find one? Here's an educational alternative
 |
Already this year, Tickle Me Elmo Xtreme is in very short supply -- but don't pay $300 on eBay for "Elmo TMX" this year!
Fisher-Price, the maker of Tickle Me Elmo Xtreme, has an educational alternative for your young child you may want to consider -- it's called I Can Play Piano.
I Can Play Piano
The toy industry giant created a toy that teaches children 4 years and older to read music and play the piano... with both hands.
It's a piano learning system that allows kids to quickly and easily master the basics of piano playing, and have a blast doing it.
Kids simply plug the three-octave piano keyboard with color-coded keys into their TV.
In the game, traditional sheet music is portrayed as a fun game with colorful, moving images that help kids learn what note to play and when to play it.
And the good news is, they still have plenty of them in stock.
You can
get "I Can Play Piano" online
through the company that licensed the technology to Fisher-Price -- Allegro Rainbow, Inc.
Piano Wizard
This past Summer in Denver, the Rocky Mountain Academy, a private school, held a week-long piano seminar for kids. They used Piano Wizard exclusively to teach kids to read music and play the piano.
Amazingly, in just one week, the kids were able to learn to play 12 songs with both hands. Ask any piano teacher and they'll tell you that is simply remarkable!
(I'm told by an insider at Allegro Rainbow that they will be posting video evidence of this soon at www.PianoWizard.com).
Piano Wizard contains the same method and technology as I Can Play Piano, Fisher-Price having licensed it from Allegro Rainbow, Inc.
Allegro originally developed that technology and used it to create Piano Wizard, the computer game that teaches kids to read music and play the piano
with amazing results.
Happy Holidays!
