Re: Just be up front with us - is there a new desktop version coming?

David... I'm curious as to the desktop issues you are seeing. I've been pretty active on the PGS Windows app (on Win10 & now Win11platforms, and Yamaha keyboards) for about a year and I've not had any issues. Maybe one or two lockups over that time, and I suspect they were Windows related. Sure, the...

Re: ??? Jan 2021 "30 Day Challenge" - Extraneous D-flat Notes

Thank you for the replies.... I suppose either I missed or haven't gotten to the lessons that speak to "naturals".

Re: Integrating Bootcamp and Courses...

Thanks, SW1TCH73CH… I appreciate your advice. The challenge is understanding what a particular Course really emphasizes (until you take them). When I look at the names of the Courses available to me, only one or two give a hint as to its objective. I’ll say again, it would be most helpful if PGS wou...

Re: 30 day challenbge

If you go to the Song Store, the song is available (it’s in with the "T" songs/section not the "Es"). Be sure you are looking at "All" songs. When I bought my PGS course, I was given a bunch of free credits, so I have not had to actually pay for any songs, yet. Otherwise, the songs are not expensive...

??? Jan 2021 "30 Day Challenge" - Extraneous D-flat Notes

In the January 2021, “30 Day Challenge – The Entertainer” is anyone else seeing extraneous D-flat notes? In other words, the online screen music shows a D-flat, but the post-play analysis only shows a correctly played note if you played a D. Plus, the D-flat just sounds wrong to my tin-ear. This is ...

Re: Enable both finger AND note simultaneously?

I've had the same concern, issue, challenge.... Here is a practice Technique I just started. In a Bootcamp exercise, I will first run through the exercise with fingerings turned on (e.g., 1, 2, 3,..). Then after I feel reasonably comfortable with that, I'll switch off the fingerings and switch on th...

Integrating Bootcamp and Courses...

There's a lot to like about PGS, but maybe I’ve missed something… I have traded emails with PGS team members. And I do understand that everybody learns a bit differently… HOWEVER, I have to say, I find it a bit of a cop-out by PGS to not provide some kind of “suggested” approach to working through t...

Re: Reading notes vs practicing other courses or the bootcamp - priority and timeline?

Raghavr.... I was also expecting to have real challenges reading the notes (e.g., without the fingering activated)... and I did (and still do, to some degree). But I found that after doing the BootCamp exercises over, and over, and over... it gradually begins to sink in. i did the first couple of Bo...
