Disklavier

I have PG Software's CHILDREN'S CLASSICS for DISKLAVIER .

 

PG Software (Vancouver, BC) got out of the Disklavier native business some
years ago but I still have some sets I use with my 3 and 5 year olds.  Plus
everything else they produced (Blues, Jazz Pianist, New Orleans, etc. etc.)

 

Excellent, English, American and German children's classic songs .
tastefully done so that adults can handle multiple renditions.

 

Contact me direct if you want more details, as these might be considered
public domain by now in terms of performance rights (?).

Mark,

I've seen the video...It's worth connecting to see at least once...if for no
other reason than to witness the complete missed opportunity Yamaha has on
it's hands with regards to Pianosoft+Graphics.

All of my kids love these songs...especially when I drag out the monitor to
connect to the piano so they can see the video also.

-Kevin

Wow! Thanks for posting this. I wasn't aware of these demo tracks and will
check them out when the granddaughters come.

Although it isn't interactive, it is wondefully produced, using a
combination of narration, piano, and accompanying sound effects. If that
isn't enough, the piano itself plays a part in the story - for example, the
keyboard simulates the wind by running the keys up and down the piano as in
the Total Control demo, or when the door thumps. This is a truly amazing
demo.

comparison to the quality and entertainment value (and hence get little play
time). Is anyone aware of any other pieces for kids (or adults!) that are
similarly impressive?
