Rocket Piano is a series of eBooks, games and MP3 files that you can download if you pay a fee and become a member. The eBooks cover everything you could ever want to know about playing the piano. The eBooks offer instruction for beginners, advanced play, finger techniques and exercises, music notation, techniques to optimize your learning, as well as lessons on how to play gospel and jazz music.
Some of the lessons have audio recording but they do not have a video or an animated keyboard. The videos that are included are not songs, but a view from over the shoulders of a player demonstrating a specific technique.
The well-designed games included cover chord identification, sight-reading, and pitch recognition.
Rocket Piano only offers email support but their response was quick and helpful.
Despite the great lesson material Rocket Piano offers, the product lacks some key features. It does not include the ability to progress tracking and cannot give feedback on performances. It is not compatible with a keyboard or other MIDI device and does not have a recording station.
If would like to be able to connect your keyboard to your computer for an interactive experience, see Teach Me Piano Deluxe our #1 choice for piano/keyboard lesson software.
