eMedia Piano For Dummies v2

I have really enjoyed this course and got a lot out of it, especially in terms of working on rhythym and note reading.

My daughter and I want to learn to play the piano...this is a good place to begin...it is Computer Based Learning and nothing could be easier to follow and to put into action...I suspect my daughter will get it long before I catch on. I do recommend this method for learning.

The trouble with this is that it sounds horrible. One of the best things about learning piano - as opposed to say violin - is that you can make a lovely sound almost immediately. But the simpified fingerings leave out the notes that everyone remembers in say mary had a little lamb so that the tune jars on unfamilar notes and the tinny electroonic piano sounds are just horrid. I got this to suppplement learning with the suzuki method (which is wonderful) and this was so depressing by comparison. I see it could be useful as a reminder on all the technical details but the audio lets it down. AND you need a midi keyboard - walking away and trying it on the real piano will sound nicer but doesnt really work,...

I havent seen the full benefit of what is advertised. You have to have midi and other things in order to get full use of product.

Detailed, clear steps for self learning.

This certainly is for dummies, this isnt even a piano! Im ready to kick their A Majors

Piano for Dummies is an interesting way to get into learning the piano. It contains a single CD ROM that will play in both a PC and Mac. The Mac installation was very easy and was ready in a couple of minutes from installing.

Tried this product on three different computers, with windows7. Home Premium and Pro, didnt work with either version. Worked with Vista and XP but not with windows7.
