How cool is this? Sean over at HDPiano.com has begun making video lessons using a combination of Synthesia and live video to show note fingerings. It's very cool and especially helpful. The lessons are free, new videos are posted weekly, and Sean even takes requests.

You should go there now.

It's that time again. Here is the new 0.6.5 release of the game, including the next set of Synthesia Learning Pack features. There is lots of new stuff to check out, so download the new version from the box on the left and enjoy!

What's new in 0.6.5 (Learning Pack feature = ):

• Note and key labels (C, C#, D or Do, Re, Mi).
• Resizeable sheet music display.
• 120+ new songs included from G Major Music Theory.
• Faster startup and gameplay.
• The usual assortment of bug fixes and improvements.

I've described before that none of this would be possible without you guys. From your moral support, feedback, and feature suggestions, all of you have been great. To give everyone even more chance to interact with the project in a fun way, I've created a new area on this site to vote on which upcoming features you'd like to see next.

With your vote, I'll know which of the dozens of requests I should be working on first. And, you'll be sure to get what you want sooner. If you're interested, head over to the feature voting page now. If you're a forum member, you're already all set to vote.

There is also a new RSS feed available in the footer of the page that will track more closely my progress on the project. The "News" feed will continue to be large project announcements and decisions only, updated once every couple months. The new "Development Details" feed will be updated automatically as I work through tasks on the voting list, probably a couple times a week.
