Product Review, Yamaha Music Interactive

"The program is aptly named Playground Sessions, as underscored by their tag line, Play to Learn. The goal is to make music right away, and Playground does a fantastic job of making that a reality."

"It is a remarkable program, both in functionality and in style. I especially like the iTunes-like music store, where users can learn to play songs from a library that spans everything from Beethoven to Beyoncé."

"The graphical presentation of song titles is inspiring enough, but it's the content that sets it apart from the competition. David Sides, the program's on-screen teacher, offers instruction in a captivating and comforting tone, drawing the user in with a perfectly-paced delivery. This is the guy that you'd like to have as a personal teacher."

"Playground Sessions is the program many people have been waiting for. Satisfying, reliable, entertaining. It's the best way to learn piano from the comfort of your own home."

Jason Nyberg,
Marketing Manager for Yamaha Music Interactive
