This program is like Suzuki; it over exploits muscle memory and habits of playing by ear. It won't  promote music.reading.

Poorly done!

Part 1: Wow...that's a major misconception. We've had students with good ears that didn't learn to read and the Music Tutor actually helped them learn to READ music. If you look at the printed music while listening, that's a basic foundational building block for learning to read.

Part 2: If you only listen & hunt & peck out the melody...then heck no...you won't learn to read. The Music Tutor works with ANY piano method, Alfred, John Thompson, Piano Adventures, Suzuki, etc. The Music Tutor itself is not a method of learning to play the piano. It is a tool. If listening and watching what you hear would inhibit note reading, then it would also inhibit kids from learning to read words when parents read them a book. That's just ignorance to believe that would be true.

Part 3: We've had a music school for 21 years here in Austin. For the first 6 years, we could never get past 150 piano students because the drop out rate of piano is high. Once we started requiring everyone to use the Roland Music Tutor our school has grown to over 400 students because this Tutor ACTUALLY gets kids playing the piano! Isn't that what it's all about??

It's about time technology in the world of piano teaching catches up with the rest of the world!
