Thanks for your comments, I would be interested to hear how you get on
especaily with the Casio Digital Piano (is it GM compatible?)

This is on my todo list.

The "play along"  mode allows playing with out stopping. I also
considering a "performance mode" which would follow the pianist in a
live situation.

Perhaps you could post your comments to the Piano Booster forum.

This is AMAZING! I just picked up a Casio Digital Piano for my 6 year old
who is learning to play Piano and it happens to have MIDI in/outs.

Now.. if I only had "Guitar Booster - Steve Vai Edition" ;)

Thank you sincerely.. this looks like an awesome concept.. It takes the
basic elements of the popular games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band and
implements them in truly USEFUL piece of software that can be used to
educate people how to play a real instrument rather than a 5 button
controller.

Out of curiosity, is there a way to output accuracy information to "track
scores" over a period of time for various pieces? I.E. to see the
improvement in a student's accuracy over time?

Also, is there a mode for the software that will allow the player to
continue on even during a wrong note? In a live performance, if you make a
mistake, the performance must continue, and there is something to be said
for learning to play w/ a steady tempo (I contstantly practice w/ a
Metronome so that I can be accurate to the click track when I record).

I cannot wait to get home and check this out tonight.. I'm so excited!!!
