Re: When to change the staff mode from numbers to letters or without any?

One point on going back through Rookie after finishing it with the numbers off rather than turning them off earlier is that during the Rookie Bootcamp, we are ... Rookies. We have no clue where to put our hands and what fingers to use. Leaving the numbers on, or using them at least at the beginning ...

Re: You Raise Me Up Challenge

It was a concert recital with like 700 of us participating. Kids got portions of the melody. Rookies a simplified both hands portion, Intermediate got some nice challenging bits, and the advanced players got the hard stuff.

Re: Don't receive email notifications

Are you talking about the email notification for this forum? That seems to be broken. I thought they might update the forum software for that. But if you mean your normal, not forum, playground sessions account, that should be setup on the normal web page I do get notifications from there about new ...

Re: Bootcamp music theory way too complicated

When you say at the end of the program that there is a Glut of Music Theory - where? The program isn't only for Rookies. It should appeal to a range of skill levels. If you've made it to advanced, you should be ready for the music theory. Throughout the lessons are little sprinklings of Music Theory...

Re: Confused about hand positioning

The clue to all note positions is that MIDDLE C is between the two staffs. As you climb up the ladder of spaces and lines, you also climb, or move right, on the piano keys. So the C up in the Treble Clef is the note C one octave up or to the right of Middle C. The first G you encounter climbing thro...

Re: BADGES AND SCORES ON IPADS

Load up a copy of the software on a desktop computer. It doesn't have to connect to the piano. Then you can look at all the goodies.

Re: Being able to play from sheet music

I've asked this question a few times in the Facebook group. I'm surprised that I always seem to get the answer that people don't want to do it themselves from sheet music, and are always requesting that PGS add more songs to the song library. That really surprises me. I thought most people would ha...
