===== Goal =====

  * To help practise piano easily
  * To make piano a fun game
  * To make waking up to alarms more fun and less routine
  * To share you piano achievements with friends
  * To contribute to creativity

===== Idea =====
PianoAlarm shares two different main features. One is the piano (or guitar, bassguitar, drums) playing, with different melodies and different skill levels, exercises and points awarded based on your performance. 

Other main feature is the alarm. You can choose a melody for the alarm or the melody can be randomly chosen from your skill level. When the alarm goes off it can't be shut down unless you play the melody just right. PianoAlarm can also be used to schedule work breaks that can help you relax with some music playing.
