eMedia Piano and Keyboard Method Volume 1 review:5 stars (Great product) - I was completely new to music when I bought this set (CD-ROM and keyboard). I think it is great. It walks you through the basics and when you start playing the music has numbers on it that match up to your fingers (1-5) so you can play as you get the hang of reading music. Gradually they remove some of the numbers so your music reading skills improve. The software grades your playing with a percentage score, and gives you details on your errors (if you want them).Also, it includes short videos of a person playing piano so you can see proper posture and such. Each song comes with (optional) accompaniment, which can make it funner to play (especially with the simple songs).The keyboard that comes with it (optional) has a solid feel, and is touch-sensitive (pressing harder plays louder). The keyboard plugs into the joystick port (probably on your sound card).5 stars (quality product) - I got this product yesterday and started to learn by it.after browsing it and using it for the first 17 lessons this is my impression.what you get in this product is 100% of quality content and less emphasize on look and graphics.and if you want to learn playing the keyboard, so the quality of the teaching is more important then other features.the teacher leading the instruction process using video clips and audio tracks, is Irma Justicia MA which is a experienced piano teacher.after 17 lessons i fell in love with her .it feels just lilke i'm in a real lesson with her.for my non proffesinal impression this product is good for absolute beginners to the intermediate level.it is also said on the product that it is volume 1 so probably they are going to issue more products in this piano keyboard line just as they done with the guitar.cause of the simplicity of the graphics you can use it on any computer,old and new.but still you get many sophisticated features like interactive feedback using midi cable.for summary ...GOOD WORK.
