Beat the clock and become a Piano Virtuoso in “Presto: A Musical Flashcard Game”!

How it Works:

1) Your brain is a highway of nerves.
2) When you think, that thought travels through your brain. As you think the same thought repeatedly, that thought takes the same journey across your brain again and again ...
3) Overtime, the well-traveled pathways begin to strengthen and grow. The chemistry in your brain actually changes the more times you think a thought.
4) In the brain of a piano virtuoso, the musical pathways are so developed that the travel time is almost instant. It’s like pushing the equal button on a calculator: they no longer think, they just do!
5) Presto is the musical flashcard game that will help you create and strengthen those nerve pathways in your own brain through self-randomizing flashcard repetitions. We help you think the thought over and over again!

Presto is appropriate for all ages (5+) and requires no prior knowledge of the piano, the perfect tool for beginners and supplement for advanced students.

Don’t have a piano at home? Don’t let that stop you from learning how to play! Presto comes complete with a custom keyboard that allows you to learn full-chords and individual notes on the staff. Enhance the experience for your family, friends, and roommates by using your headphones!

Self-randomizing flashcards keep piano gamers engaging their brains in ways that will strengthen the neurological pathways that lead to virtuosity and away from learning useless patterns.

Presto comes complete with 500+ flashcards, 10 Chord Packs (Major, Minor, Augmented, Diminished, 6 Chords, 7 Chords, Minor 6, Minor 7, Major 7, Learn the Staff), All Chord Inversions, and Training Wheels (Visual Aides) that allow users to learn how to play with no prior knowledge of music.

Presto also comes with a Report Card that records info for the last 10 games (score, date, etc) -- the perfect companion for any Piano Educator or Student. Create assignments that you can easily track. Want to know if your student is really practicing? Now you can see when they’re practicing, what they’re practicing, and how long they’re practicing with Report Card!

Thinking about putting your child into piano lessons but not sure if they’re old enough or will like it? Let them take the piano for a spin with Presto!

Practicing a piano lesson has never been so much fun!
