learning by doing
I encourage the author to go back to FOSS as this is a great way to learn piano for children, it would be generous to have it for free. It'd also be a great way to improve the code and to ensure a long term support with a bigger community of developpers.
Can they please create an application for iphone? Please, I would like to try there!
