Piano is notoriously difficult to learn for several reasons. Sheet music does not show the correct fingerings corresponding to which keys to press. Sheet music also requires a large amount of memorization and music theory background. A great deal of time, effort, and patience is required. Especially for beginners, piano can be a daunting instrument to learn. The mental processing between knowing which keys to press and in what order requires intuition. The memorization, music theory knowledge, and time commitment to learn piano can be discouraging to those wanting to learn the instrument.
Our goal with the Haptic Piano Instructional Glove is that it will address the issues that come with learning how to the piano by:
