Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

This new version of eMedia Piano & Keyboard Method offers everything you need to learn how to play! Piano instructor, Irma Irene Justicia, M.A., who has taught at the renowned Juilliard School of Music, guides you through over 300 step-by-step full-screen lessons. New Instant Feedback works with both electronic keyboards and acoustic pianos! It listens as you play melodies and shows whether you’re playing correctly!

The lessons start with the basics, such as hand position, rhythm, and playing on black keys, and move on to reading music notation, sight reading, scales, and much more. Techniques are demonstrated with over 70 videos viewable in full-screen mode.

Learn songs and exercises from music notation as an animated keyboard guides you through fingerings. Songs and exercises are provided as both live-recorded audio and variable-speed MIDI tracks which let you slow the music down as needed. Colorful MIDI accompaniments help make practicing fun! You will learn over 100 popular classical, blues, pop, and rock songs, including hit songs from artists such as Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, and Elton John!

Interactive review and ear training quizzes help reinforce new concepts and develop your ear. When used with an electronic MIDI keyboard, you get Interactive Evaluation Feedback with detailed specifics on your playing, including which notes and rhythms were wrong and how to correct them. In addition, the new Note Tracker shows you what note you’re playing and makes learning music notation easy. This latest version also offers fully scalable lesson screens and an option for full-screen video. Other accessories include a built-in digital metronome and a recorder. eMedia Piano & Keyboard Method is the ultimate way to learn how to play piano or keyboard!

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
For a child this is very good software, it compliments the lessons he learns at school. I can imagine that maybe adults can be daunted in learning the notes and keys. But, I found it pretty thorough.

My child now likes to sit by his keyboard and practice in his spare time. It is a good tool.

If it can encourage a child to learn on his own, it must be pretty good. The music list is good as well and is a primer to learn more advanced features in music.

Overall, very good.

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
This was very easy to put onto the computer and very easy to use. I am an older learning and found it easy and simple to follow. Think it would be good for a wide range of age groups.
