System for Developing Musical Intelligence.
Soft Way to Mozart® integrates music reading, ear training, technique and music theory into one coherent progression — from the first lessons to independent music reading.
U.S. Patent 7,629,527 B2 · Independent research · University teacher training · 20+ years of documented student outcomes.
Interactive activities record correct and incorrect responses as well as the time between the appearance of a notation symbol and the student's action. This makes skill development visible from one practice session to the next.
What the System Develops
- sight-reading;
- piano technique;
- coordination of both hands;
- musical hearing and audiation;
- sight-singing;
- transposition;
- chord selection and accompaniment;
- musical dictation;
- foundations of composition;
- music theory and harmony;
- digital music notation;
- comprehensive music literacy.
Week-by-Week and Lesson-by-Lesson Plans
Each plan gives you a ready-to-follow sequence that combines the software, piano practice, music reading, ear training, technique and other musical activities.
Gentle Piano® — The Core Module
The student sees a notation symbol, sings its solfège syllable, finds the corresponding key and hears the result. Visual support is gradually reduced, preparing the student for traditional music notation.
Gentle Piano® develops sight-reading, coordination of both hands, piano technique, musical memory, transposition and practical work with chords.
6 Additional Specialized Modules
Each module develops a specific group of skills. Together with Gentle Piano®, they form one integrated digital music textbook.
Learning Materials Included
The digital textbook is complemented by learning materials that extend the same system of musical development beyond the interactive modules.
Note cards for rapid recognition of notes, intervals, staff lines and spaces.
Connects absolute pitch, solfège syllables and the singing voice.
Hellene Hiner's book on the principles of effective music education.
Hellene Hiner's musical fairy tale about tonal center, scale-degree functions, mode and harmony.
