In a limited way, many video classes overcome this challenge because the instructor often records from an acoustic piano, providing the student with a more sophisticated and expressive experience. So, if musicality is a goal of yours, then you should consider a different approach.
Adventus Piano Suite Premier Piano (course-based), eMedia Piano & Keyboard Method (feedback-based) both allow you to learn sight-reading and supports MIDI, they are however not free. There are tips to improve your sight-reading on their introducary page...
Improve Your Sight-reading! Piano, Level 1: A Progressive, Interactive Approach To Sight-reading (Fa
There is increasing interest in quantifying the effectiveness of computer games in non-entertainment domains. We have explored general intelligence improvements for participants using either a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) game [Brain Age], a custom do-it-yourself (DIY) training system for a working memory task [DNB] or an online strategy game to a control group (without training). Forty university level participants were divided into four groups (COTS, DIY, Gaming, [Passive] Control) and were evaluated three times (pre-intervention, post-intervention, 1-week follow-up) with three weeks of training. In general intelligence tests both cognitive training systems (COTS and DIY groups) failed to produce [statistically-]significant improvements in comparison to a control group or a gaming group. Also neither cognitive training system produced [statistically-]significant improvements over the intervention or follow-up periods.
The development of listening skills is a crucial component of musical training at any level. Such development is often done through dictation, a process by which students put into notation elements of music that they hear. Through my recent work with college-level music students I have developed a new approach to dictation founded on the practice of peer performance: students performing music for each other in a guided, active listening environment. The introduction of this technique into a number of different theory and aural skills courses that I teach has resulted in improved student engagement and faster progress toward listening-specific learning outcomes including identification of pulse groupings and meter, tonic pitch recognition and relative relationships, and harmonic and cadential identification. 2ff7e9595c
