Well we officially got our Soft Mozart program. But then of course pregnancy brain got the best of me and I forgot to order the stickers. So we had the program and keyboard sitting here, driving my son NUTS :) I'd let him experiment with the keyboard a little, but only small burst. I thought about what Glenn Doman said about always keeping the child wanting more.
Well the stickers arrived, and yesterday I had the chance to put them on. So the program is ready to go! So this evening my son and I will be giving SM its first test drive tonight! I'm super excited~
By the way for parents who are looking to buy a keyboard look into the Casio CTK 2100. It hooks up to the computer with a cheap USB cord instead of having to worry about the MIDI cord :)
Hope to have great things to update soon!

*Sigh*
Well I must apologize. I have been missing in action.
My Toshiba decided that it is going to have a mind of its own and work when it feels like it.
BUT that being said, I must comment that the few lessons that my son has done have really stuck. I'm using the Gentle Piano part of the program and focusing on songs he has already learned on the violin. He loves it! And when the computer is down and he sits at his piano I notice that he does play parts of these songs by memory!! Actually the first time I noticed this I just about feel over, especially when I noticed he was using TWO HANDS!! I do wish Soft Mozart had most sheet music available in the same format as the computer program, I would purchase these in a heartbeat to help my son on days were sitting by the computer is not possible.
Overall we have been trying to get in as many Soft Mozart lessons as possible. I am also a Little Musician beta tester, so we have been trying to do that when the computer is up and running. Then just before he leaves for school a few times a week I play the Suzie Piano Primer DVD for him.
I have been trying to work on input and not expecting output just yet, and it seems to be paying off.
One thing I noticed though is he got VERY upet when my stubborn husband was trying his hands at Gentle Piano and wanted to figure it out by himself last night. He came up to be in tears saying that he was doing it "All Wrong". LOL I must admit when I went in the kitchen it was quite painful to watch him LOL.
I am a big believer that not one product will teach your child everything they need to know. Even if it is all in one nice neat package, exposure from different sources will help cement and reinforce it in their heads(I was the same way with teaching my son math and reading). That being said Soft Mozart has become one of the corner stones in our music program.
