Maestro is TOTALLY FREE music software that will have you playing like a Pro in under 5 minutes !!! - NO LEARNING REQUIRED
Play hundreds of pre-set songs and compositions with no prior playing experience using Maestro's conducting technology. If you can sing or whistle a song you will be able to play it by tapping its rhythm on the computer keyboard or on a Midi keyboard. It doesn't matter what keys are pressed – only the rhythm matters (you even get a score for your performance). You won't believe how much fun this is until you try it! Once you have mastered the rhythm of a song you can learn how to play the actual notes with a Midi keyboard attached to your computer. Maestro displays a picture of a Piano keyboard with the notes that need to be pressed – Maestro will only advance if the correct notes have been pressed. Sing along with the song you're playing. Many Maestro songs contain lyrics – watch the lyrics scroll on the screen according to you're position in the song. Instead of you having to keep up with the lyrics they keep up with you!
