The Synthesia Learning Pack
Overview

The Learning Pack is a collection of extra features that can help you improve your piano playing abilities, and they're already built into the game!

Try the four included demo songs in the game right now by clicking the "Learning Pack" button from the main menu. If you decide you always want those features available, you can...

Like the rest of the game, the Learning Pack is still a work in progress, so the price is extra low. Right now an unlock key for personal use is only $16 USD, but that will increase as the Learning Pack becomes more complete each release.

However, all keys will continue to work in all future versions of the game! This means you get the lower price now and you can still enjoy all the new Learning Pack features just by downloading new versions of the game as they're released.

Also, anyone that donated to the project before Learning Pack keys were available (any amount) deserves an unlock key. You guys were the earliest adopters which makes you awesome. Go fill out the donor key request form!

Here is what you get by purchasing an unlock key today:

Unlock Keys for Classrooms

There is a special kind of Learning Pack unlock key for use in educational organizations like classrooms or private studios. In addition to unlocking all the same features personal key users enjoy, there will be several exclusive features (just below) available only to Synthesia workstations running with "organization" keys. These will be especially well-suited to the classroom environment.

Organization Learning Pack keys are currently licensed at $39 USD per seat, but the keys never expire, work with any number of students, and come with lifetime free upgrades. You can buy educational keys from the purchase page, where there are also volume discount details.

Upcoming Exclusive Classroom Features

All of the classroom features will be based around a cross-platform server component that can be run on either the instructor's workstation or an on-site server. This component is free of charge but only works with game clients using an organization unlock key.

  • Central profiles: Scores, grades, and other activities are centrally reported. Students can use any workstation and their profile follows them.
  • Usage tracking: Report student participation or grading overall, per-exercise, or via advanced reports. Track improvement over successive exercise attempts.
  • Distributed assignments: Push exercises, assignments, or other pieces out to students via an in-game menu. Set goals for speed and accuracy on each assignment.
