I have been in a teaching situation with people from ages 7-78... Piano Suite is for
everyone. Piano Suite can certainly stand alone as a teaching tool for
motivated learners.
Piano Suite is a true learning experience for all users...one of the
most sophisticated, comprehensive and useful learning programs we
have seen.

Piano Suite Premier is a rare bird: kid-friendly software
that doesn't condescend. This information-packed program is
articulate enough even for adult beginners, and it seems
equally well suited for private home study and classroom use.

I also know few people - myself included - who had the dedication
to hone their skills by putting in the long hours of practice required
to play an instrument well.
Piano Suite hits the mark...a fun, 'at your own pace' introduction to the piano.

Altogether the creators of Piano Suite at Adventus have
manufactured a splendid collection of software. My praise
goes out on a number of general fronts. I like the way you
can customize the program easily and virtually instantly.
I like the idea of being able to add tunes that might be of
some local interest to a student or teacher. I like the fact
that the thing actually runs so far for me flawlessly. I like
the thoroughness of the "package" and appreciate the care that
has been taken to include many things that other programs have
tended to ignore in their quest for market quaintness. I like
the quantity of material housed on the disk. This is really a
big product and a good product.

Damian Llopis - Notes on Piano Suite Premier
Piano Suite sets the standard for music educational technology, providing
several years of regular use in the single title, a good value for parents.
In contrast, books offer a more basic music selection, normally at a single
skill level, with no feedback, and no creative component.

To sum up the whole package, I have to say that I’m very impressed
on several counts. Firstly, the presentation is absolutely first rate
and uses the computer-based medium to its best advantage. Secondly,
the content is excellent. All the bases seem to have been covered and
I can’t say that I spotted anything that I disagreed with on a
professional basis. The range of pieces is wide (400+) and varied,
so there’s something to keep everyone happy.
Piano Suite is good, darned good. In fact, as a teacher, although
I know it won’t ever replace me or my colleagues in the profession,
it’s almost worryingly good! Highly recommended.

Ray Tuley - New Media Review
I never was able to transcribe any of my original tunes
or interpret sheet music simply because I did not know music notation.
But the musical score popped up on the screen -- and before my eyes
all the notes appeared on the staff as I played them. My life-long
frustration vanished.

A computer programme that really does teach you
how to play keyboards … and a lot more as well”. As
someone whose job includes reviewing musical software,
I’ve been watching with great interest how the newer software
is shaping up against its predecessors, but it is not until now
that I’ve come across a programme that really does everything that
it’s meant to do … as well as a good deal more!
