Chapter 1: Introduction

We Introduce Compiano!
Compiano connects to the USB or PS2 port of your computer and works as a piano. With Compiano you
can play games, have fun and learn piano all at the same time. Compiano is easy to use and has been
designed to introduce users to the treasures of music. Will you be the next Mozart?

Compiano was designed by leading music and engineering professionals to help users to learn music
theories and enjoy the benefits of the piano. Although similar synthesizing equipment may be too
expensive for the average consumer, Compiano has been priced so that many people can have access to
its rewards. It contains three octave musical ranges and children as well as adults can experience the joy
of mastering a musical instrument.

Our researchers found that use of a variety of interesting surprises and twists would help keep the interest
of children during music practice. We have adds many study elements and presented them in a format that
keeps the user interested; in fact, the user learns the lessons so easily, he hardly realizes that he has been
studying.

You will notice that Compiano is very attractive. Compiano has been designed with fun colors that are
appealing to both boys and girls. Flowery shapes, ergonomic design and ease of handling are some of the
most apparent positive aspects of the keyboard. The hardware has been manufactured to withstand
ordinary use for many years.

Musical Joey provides basic to expert music education in a fun, user paced game. No longer is it
necessary to spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars to discover your musical talents. This is
digital educational software for our next generation.
