Even the name of the method is so appropriate. I consider myself more than lucky to have found this.. It will become for me and others the way to embrace the world of music and attain a professional level of competence.. Thanks to all of the fine people who have made this happen.. Its a giant leap for those involved in teaching the skills of reading the music language. Sincerely Yours, Russell Mosher

"... The kids are responding, loving it....playing, repeating, asking to play again....wow! and after 2 hours not wanting to leave and still playing and excited about their scores and improvements to the very end!"

Belinda Roccaforte - my 5- and 7-year-old children
My son Thomas has been taking piano lessons from Hellene since he was four years old. When she developed her method on the computer we saw Thomas' interest in piano increase and we no longer had to insist that he practice. He really enjoys the "game like" format. The method is so fun that both children don't think of piano lessons as work. Zachary is 5 and has been taking piano with Hellene for almost a year. He has only learned with this computer method. We were amazed at how quickly he learned to play with both hands. Zachary has always enjoyed piano and learns very quickly with seemingly little effort. We have noticed a great deal of improvement in both boys' fine-motor skills and coordination. Zachary just completed kindergarten and is working at almost third grade level math. Hellene told us that her techniques would help in their academic functioning, particularly in math. This is certainly true for Zachary.

My son, Michael, is 3 years old and he has taken piano lessons for 2 months now. Ms. Hiner's computing teaching system makes it so easy and fun for Michael to understand, learn & play. He had his first recital with no stage fright after taking only 4 piano lessons and without practicing at home. In the beginning, I just want to wait and see if he likes piano. I also want to see if the Soft Mozart program is worth the money to invest in. Now after two months. I think it worth every penny after seeing my son's improvement in his concentration level, eye-hand coordination and analytical skill. I am glad that I have my son in Ms. Hiner's class.

Janet S. Hall - a mother of 4 and 6 years old students
We want to let you know how much we've been pleased with your piano teaching system. Initially, we were unsure if it was wise to start our daughter on piano lessons at 4 years of age. However, your method was so easy for her to understand that she easily understood the relationship between written music and the keys on the piano. I remembered how excited she was to play nursery songs that she could also sing. As a parent, I also found that your method was easy to learn. It allowed me stay at her level and help her during practices at home. With our daughter's success, we firmly believed that our younger daughter would enjoy your program at three years old. It has been amazing to see that at four year old, she can pick up a sheet music and play a song. Although, the song is fairly simple, it does involve her using both hands, and she needs very little assistance from us. Your "Play Piano" program (part of DOREMIFASOFT computer program) helps them learn at their own pace (L, R, P and Hide) and correct them with gentle guidance. The accomplishment they feel when completing a song by memory nourishes an enjoyment of music that enriches their experiences in so many different ways. Thanks again for coming up this innovative method for the children to learn and enjoy music at a very young age.

Sandy Tang - a mother of 4 years old student
Thanks for teaching Desiree piano since September 2002. She likes it very much and does it very well. Personally, I don't know anything about the piano and the music notes. The software really helps her a lot and actually helps me to guide her. She does not get bored from the software. The piano games from the software teaches her the position of the music notes on the music book as well as on the piano naturally and gradually. She picks it up really quickly by following the program without pressure or stress. Even though when she does not practice the song, she will explore the other songs and let me know which song is her favorite song. Then I will tell her keep on practicing so that you will be able to play that song later and I always tell her "Practice makes Perfect". After all, I am very surprised and impressed about Desiree's performance.

Patty Roberts - a mother of 6 years old student
My son has been working with Ms. Hiner since he was 18 months old. By the age of two years he was able to play the piano with both hands. I strongly believe that having participated in Ms. Hiner's classes using her method, and now with the development of the Doremifasoft program, his musical ability has increased to truly impressive levels. He enjoys being able to play the games and songs at home whenever the whim strikes him and often chooses to play the keyboard instead of watching TV or playing video games! It is also very enjoyable to listen to him play for family gatherings and the holidays. I believe it has had an extremely positive impact on his self-esteem. Several studies and articles I have read report a direct, proven link between musical training and increased skills in analytical and mathematical pursuits in young children, relative to their peers without the advantage of musical training. These comments were enough to prompt me to invest in the program, a keyboard and computer, as well as private lessons for my son. As parents, we are amazed and very pleased at the improvements in his musical ability and his intellectual achievements relative to his peers. I recommend Ms. Hiner's method and software very highly.

Tony & Diana Smith - parents of 4 and 6 years old students
Our two daughters Allison and Samantha have been working with Helene Hiner and the Do Re Mi Fa Soft software for about one year. We were lucky to have access to it just as our girls were starting their lessons. This made their experience not only beneficial, but enjoyable as well. We found they not only liked working with the software and practicing on the keyboard, but also were learning how to play complete songs on the piano. With the updated version of the software, the games added new activities in addition to the normal practice. Overall, our experience with Do Re Mi Fa Soft has been very pleasant. We think this has been the difference between the typical strict discipline approach of learning piano, and one that proves playful, fun and desirable. This is especially important when trying to motivate young children

Ann Burt - a music teacher
Hellene Hiner's innovative music program, Soft Mozart, has brought me out of retirement! I was formerly a private piano teacher and a classroom music teacher. My experience with this program has convinced me that learning to read music can be fun, not abstract and dull. I personally observed a two year old read notes and play the piano. I was amazed! And the child was very proud of her efforts and accomplishment. This program teaches through the use of video games in which children have fun. Little do they realize while having fun, they are learning music theory, performing hand-eye coordination, being ear-trained...and much more! I'm very excited about this revolutionary approach in teaching music and I plan to share it with all those I know. What an enrichment "tool" for all music teachers at every level! I am so very grateful to Hellene Hiner as she has persevered to create such an outstanding program. Music literacy will definitely flourish.

Valery Pinchuk - a student, 16 years old
Soft Mozart is spectacular because of the way it can captivate young children's and adults' attentions alike. It really works, and provides everything that a normal piano lesson lacks; there is no piano teacher sitting at my side to disappoint when I am having difficulty, and i am able to progress at my own pace. When playing sheet music, it is very easy to get confused and give up. This program will stop and show me exactly what mistakes i am making, so an error in my playing that could earlier drive me to lose interest completely can quickly become irrelevant. This program is very effective in teaching, and it is obvious that soon it will be in homes worldwide.

The McKnights - parents of 4 years old student Just wanted say thanks! Eight months ago when the school year started, my wife and I decided to enroll Nicholas in Piano lessons at the Cottage School. Since learning how to play the piano, Nicholas has been more music orientated and focused. He has the tendency to stay on key with many songs he likes especially when he is singing with Scooby-doo. We have also notice how his music experiences has enhanced his focus in the class room. His teachers has indicated he is at the top of his class. Thanks so much for all that you are doing with our son!

Michael and Betty Lynn Keavney - clients
We have been extremely pleased with the Soft Mozart music program. We have seen a dramatic improvement in our daughter's self esteem and concentration skills during the course of this program. It is amazing to hear the complexity of music Katherine is able to perform as a 7 year old. The software program we utilize at home has accelerated Katherine's progress and has enhanced her learning experience. It has allowed Katherine to experiment with many different learning tools and has given her an opportunity to progress at an accelerated pace. We firmly believe this software program has given Katherine the opportunity to reach musical heights not attainable through other music products on the market today.

Pam J. Creel - client
My 16-year old daughter has been a student of Mrs. Hiner for about six years. Previous to starting lessons with Mrs. Hiner, she had four years of piano lessons with another teacher utilizing the conventional method of teaching. While she was taking the conventional piano lessons, she progressed in her piano skills; however, it was a struggle to convince her to continue her lessons because she was frustrated and bored. Once she started with Mrs. Hiner, she never asked to discontinue her piano lessons. She joyfully goes to her lessons and enjoys picking up a piece of music and playing it at home. Her skills have increased tremendously utilizing Ms.Hiner's method. Additionally, while my daughter was taking the conventional piano lessons, I, too, was taking lessons from the same teacher. I had never played piano, nor did I know how to read music. As an adult, it was a very slow process to learn how to play piano, and it was especially hard for me to be able to quickly identify the notes on the sheet music. I wish that I would have had the opportunity to start with Ms. Hiner's method first. I truly believe that should I have started with Mrs. Hiner's method, I would not have struggled so much with sight reading and would have progressed further in my piano skills.

Anne B. Sereno, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Neurobiology & Anatomy University of Texas Medical School"... After talking to Ms. Hiner, I have brought two of my own children (3 and 5 years old) to her for several weeks. It is true that in 20 minutes she had the 5 year old reading and playing music with two hands. It is clear to me that she has developed a simple and effective method for piano designed to teach children from a very young age. Happily, it does not require costly materials and she is dedicated to making it available to all children..."

Family of Dettlings - client"...he exhibited an intense love for music ."

R.A. Mickey - client"...our daughter, Dana, has been taking piano lessons ... for the past several months and during that time, we have noticed that her concentration has improved along with her hand and eye coordination. During a recent review at the school, she received above average ratings and we are very pleased with her overall progress"

Crystal Copeland - client"...both of my children have gained a huge amount of knowledge in a very short time. they can each play the piano scales with each hand, backward and forward. They can pick any sheet of Ms. Hiner's music and play that song... Method has channeled their brains thinking in a different, more methodical way"

Lali Elbakidze - a pianist-performer"...I sincerely believe in an evolution of general education system in U.S. as well as faster and better development of future musician's generations with the methods and ideas of Ms.Hiner... understanding her methods and ideas gave me a lot of solutions and answers for the questions that I had as a teacher..."
