The Soft Way to Mozart piano teaching software is a core element of the Soft Way to Mozart piano teaching method that can bring music literacy to all children through public and private education. This approach makes any music and piano teaching more effective, and transforms average "about music" school lessons to ones where students actually receive music education by learning how to read, play and sing music.

1. How to organize a piano lab in a school or music studio

For a piano lab, you may use any classroom big enough to accommodate the desired number of computers and piano keyboards.

One teaching unit in the piano lab consists of a computer connected to a piano keyboard or digital piano.

Ideally, there should be enough teaching units to provide every student with a personal working place during a piano lesson. If the number of students is more than the number of available computers, some of the students may share one learning unit, or the class may be divided into two or three groups, one group practicing piano with computers, while the teacher provides others with study of music theory by reading music books, playing with flash-cards, or practicing music writing exercises. In 15-20 minutes, the groups may change places and assignments. The efficiency of the Soft Way to Mozart software allows productive piano practice for a group of students even in a time span of 15 minutes.

Some of the Soft Way to Mozart computer games don't need the piano keyboard, so the piano lab may contain several computers without a connection to the piano.

The Soft Way to Mozart software doesn't use networking, so it's not important if your computers are network-connected or not.

In the classroom, the students may use headphones. However, we found that it is possible to conduct group piano lessons without headphones if the sound of piano keyboards is low enough. If students actually practice the piano by playing music instead of just banging on the piano keys, the combination of all sounds creates quite a bearable music background. In this case, the sound of the piano keyboards does not disturb and distract neighbors, but helps the teacher to supervise the performance of the students.
