Re: [school-discuss] Piano for kids

This might be something to check into - it looks like the latest version was released just a couple days ago for Windows.  From the website it appears that he is working on getting a Mac OSX version out soon.  Maybe if he knew there was interest in a Linux version or could find some assistance porting, he would be interested.    

It looks like it's very close to what Manuel is looking for - part game, part keyboard.  I tried it out under wine and it ran great, but I couldn't hear the midi.  The interface is slick! Probably something in my config though, because I haven't tried to play midi on this system (wine or not.)
