I am curious about how to go advance on piano technique in soft mozart.
Does soft mozart indicates finger position in advance level eyenote music sheet?
As a parent, here's what I've learned so far:
The teaching videos section here:
http://softmozart.com/forum/55-teaching-videos.html
will help polish the pieces, see the fingering, work on the technique (you also need a digital piano, not a keyboard for that; keyboards are good for beginning, you need pianos with weight-sensitive keys to work better on your technique).
There you can find videos for finger exercises, and for playing sogs in the Soft Mozart library using the metronome or practicing without it.

and the big arc over 2 or multiple notes? How will kid learn these things?
Again, just as a non-literate in music, I have seen that in Gentle Piano, right in presentation 1, you have things you find in musical notation. Note in some pieces that you have to press keys longer till the flower blooms and you see more notes passing till you do that. So in my understanding you are learning and are using step by step, from beginner to advance level, from one song album to another, and even from presentation 1 to presentation 6.

Also would like the kid to enter the national piano test for a judge to grade the level? Would this be suggested? And soft mozart help on that? I would think that if the kid in soft mozart program post the grade for each phase, it would be very encouraging, right?
Soft Mozart has an Academy too, with 7 levels you can reach at your own pace. Here's the board for the Academy, with teaching videos, credit guidelines for each beginner level and level 1 for now:

For motivation and not only, you can practice with Soft Mozart for local competitions and contests, either at the school or region or give recitals for the family and more. We do have even here, on the forum, children who have gone to organized competitions in their area and they have great success.
