The Gauntlet is the game’s course, and it starts where you are. Three pieces a level, and every piece played three times: right hand alone, left hand alone, then both together at half tempo. Pass all three, play the level’s theory game, beat the boss, and the next level opens.
Level 1: three pieces, a theory game, a boss, and everyone else running it beside you
The Chord Bridge, one of the games that sit between the piecesRight hand, then left, then both at half tempo. The metronome is on: the clock is the teacher here.
Twinkle, Mary and Ode to Joy on level 1. Chopin’s waltz and Bach’s prelude by level 5.
A round of the Chord Bridge, the Hand Reader or Scales & Arpeggios before the level will close.
A duel with a computer pianist on the level’s last piece. Whoever plays it more accurately wins.
Properly engraved, scrolling with you, fingering numbers on every note. You are reading real music while you play it, not just catching tiles.
Every note judged on timing and how hard you played it
Free Play, duels, your own compositionsBetween pieces there is an 1830s city. Take a quest, get ambushed on the road to the Woods, wager coins on the fight, and come back after dark for the ghosts.
The Old Town: shops, an inn, a recital hall, a notice board
The road to the Woods, where the critters are
A second world with no clock in it. Swim an enchanted reef and heal its musical creatures by playing their pieces at your own pace. No metronome, nothing chasing you.
The townspeople need things. Some of them need you to beat something.
Beethoven and Mozart walk the square at night. They pay double.
Sign up, take the stage, and other players watch you play it live.
Write your own piece at the desk and publish it to everybody.
Say your teacher charges $60 an hour and you take a lesson a week, and say you buy two or three scores a month at $5 to $8 each. Here is that year, against this one.
| A teacher & the scores | All-Access | |
|---|---|---|
| LessonsA lesson a week at $60. Here it is the Gauntlet’s own road, plus a masterclass every week with a certified Ultimate Pianist teacher. | $260 a month | Included |
| Sheet musicTwo or three scores a month at $5 to $8. Here all 123+ pieces come engraved, fingering on every note, and more land every day. | $10 – $24 a month | Included |
| A month | $270 – $284 | $14.95 |
| A year | $3,240 – $3,408 | $135.55 |
$1 for your first three months, then $14.95 a month for the next twelve.
One hour with a teacher costs four months of this. Three hours cost the whole deal: $180.40 for fifteen months. Your first year is $135.55, and you keep the other $3,100. Plenty of players keep their teacher and use this in between; the sums are the same either way.
Every piece is engraved in the game, scrolling with you, fingering numbers and all.
Live, by a certified Ultimate Pianist teacher, for members, plus the video lessons on the pieces.
The Gauntlet is three runs a day for nothing, forever. All-Access takes the limit off.
