Re: My 2 cents...

(...)There's no way for the piano demo to be played through yoo ur keyboard sounds, unfortunately. So, if you want to hear a piano demo, you'll have to turn the piano volume in the app up again. While the volumes would be convenient for each lesson, we don't have plans on changing the accessibility...

Re: Capability to print purchased songs without the fingering numbers

This should be obvious but please don't distribute any material you obtain with the method below. Like paper prints (or pdf prints) these are only for your own study purposes. You can use an application like pdfelement (this runs on a Mac, there may be options for Windows?) to remove (part of) the f...

It's my goal to get the forums under control. Hi Andrew, I'm really ...

Re: Hello, Italian in Miami! (:

Hi Luca, unfortunately it looks like your Casio has neither a "USB to host" connection nor a standard MIDI connection. This means you cannot feed the notes you play into Playground.

Re: How does grading work?

Unfortunately the PGS people seem to have decided that it's OK to ignore users/ customers in these forums. This has been going on for some time, and while they probably have their reasons (as you may know there was a tragic event last year) the current situation is not acceptable. I don't know what'...

Re: A Written Manual for Playground Newbies?

One is about the points. And maybe I missed this in the various intro things, but what are they for? In addition to the other useful info above: IMHO the points system is deeply flawed, in that it discourages the use of the most effective training aids in the program (e.g. playing selected measures...

Re: play demo doesn't work

The volume of the demo is the same as the volume of the piano sounds. So if you have set the latter to zero (as I have since my piano sounds much better than the app) you will not hear the demo. This really should be a separate control but alas.

Re: Both hands coordination

Just a tip wrt the Hanon excercises: there are also books that combine the three volumes (60 excercises) into one, e.g.
ISBN10 0793525446
ISBN13 9780793525447
