Allegro Multimedia and Fisher-Price recently signed a strategic licensing agreement that harmonizes Allegro’s Piano Wizard method with Fisher Price’s innovative commitment to music education. The agreement allows Fisher Price to introduce Allegro’s technology into the toy market as part of the I Can Play Piano system that features the Piano Wizard Method.

Piano Wizard is a revolutionary teaching platform changing the way kids are learning piano. “Our strategic partnership and licensing agreement with Fisher Price ensures that future generations of children will use the Piano Wizard method as training wheels in discovering a life-long, love of the piano, ultimately helping to create many more musicians,?says

The Piano Wizard method is inherently different from other music-teaching approaches, introducing the actual playing of real music as an amazingly simple interactive video game. The ground-breaking technology allows virtually anyone to play songs within minutes and transforms the tedious and traditional methods of piano practice into an exciting video game! Piano Wizard can make the first few years of a child’s musical experience fun instead of torture, like having training wheels for the piano.

This year, Fisher Price is focusing on developing high-quality toys in the musical arts and the use of the Piano Wizard method in its upcoming I Can Play ?piano system will aid in achieving the goal of helping kids learn naturally, and painlessly, through musical play. “We are looking forward to a continued relationship with Fisher Price and setting the stage for a revolution in music education, particularly as it affects early child development and the well known subsequent benefits to math and SAT scores in later life,?Salter said.
