All,

The company is trying to make the software more affordable so that more children/adult is able to learn to play songs. I have personally tried this software and it is really good. I have posted my review on this product prior to this e-mail. The below is a link that shows my daughter playing the keyboard using this software.
 
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/5zYGO7UyK3k&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/5zYGO7UyK3k&rel=1</a>

I believe my daughter is currently playing a song equivalent to Grade 2 standard.

Hi TTT8, congratulations for your daughter's progress! smile

Now, I don't deny that SM is trying to come with something easier to get for some people. I have seen their monthly, etc. offers and it's nothing unusual to what other companies do in other businesses.
But for some of us here on BK, who have been used with a certain SM product offer for years it's quite a change. And, just like Izp11 and me, others too may have desired to buy the old version these months or so and their plan has to change.

Well, it seems that if we want SM, we have to find and buy the subscription that suits our needs best.

I should have bought it before they changed the package.
Do we now have to pay to renew subscription every year?

I also have to rethink my strategy, start shopping around, reading reviews, and comparing once again of course... ohmy

 Sad  Same reaction here too. I'm quite disappointed with the price increase as well.. Was thinking of getting it.

Now that they've changed into subsciption based, shouldn't the price be reduced since we have to pay every month/year?

From the Doremifasoft website, one of their mission statements is to :
Dramatically improve music literacy throughout the world by becoming the premier online music learning destination, offering people of all ages and abilities an extremely fun and cost-effective way to learn to play piano and read music; and ..

Well certainly they wont be 'dramatically' improving music literacy with that kind of price tag..   mellow

I don't think it is that expensive because if you compare it to piano wizard which is the only other thing you can really compare it to. It is stillllllllllllllll way cheaper. I know we are all on a budget but in terms of cost it is really not that bad. I have just purchased the SM full version and I am giving it to my girls for Christmas and it came down to price for my husband and I and we decided that we also got the online help to as PW didn't really offer that.

Are you sure it it still cheaper than PW at least you are buying something that you can use indefinitely with SM you are only borrowing.  I cant commit to so much and I'm really disappointed.

I do agree with Keeli.

I mean If I am not done teaching my kid within a year, then I have to pay more to renew the course.
Look at the LR/LM, it took me more than a year  to complete the curriculums. There were numerous days when I was not able to give my son lessons, or he did not feel like it.  Thanks goodness I did not have to pay to use the software again.

I would love to be able to teach my kid music at his own pace. I can't wait to see what Little Musicians look like and hopefully it's another good or better alternative for me.

 For me it's cheaper and if it doesn't get used I just don't renew the subscription plus I already own a keyboard also with currency conversion as I am in Australia it works out a very good deal. For myself I really like the fact I have access to online help and I get my own personal teacher/coach who is with me helping me teach my girls so if I get stuck I can get the help I need. What price do you put on that?  Also I am not in your country so I have no idea what the current currency conversion is from USD to your currency you will need to do the numbers for your own situation but don't forget to add in the shipping as well as you might be surprised as to how much PW charge.

Hi everyone,

I informed Ms. Hiner of your concerns about the pricing etc- in order for you to get discounts, brillkids and her may have to work out something.......

However, I did ask her to consider giving discounts to parents with special needs children. I did this for my wonderful friends in this forum from whom I have learnt so much and who have inspired me  smile This question was also prompted by my medical background because I believe music definitely helps children.

She has asked interested parents (children with special needs) to email her on [email protected].

You may be able to work something out with her.  smile

Also, for the other parents using soft mozart, check out the forum and network on the new website. It is like a 'music school' where if you have a doubt/question as to whether your child is doing something correctly, you can post those vidoes and someone will tell you if what they are doing is right or wrong!

Take care,
Shaman
