eMedia Piano For Dummies v2

I bought this along with my first piano. After only 5 days of playing, I am confidently reading simple music staffs and a I am already playing with the left hand accompaniment.

came quick no problems

Not so much for dummies, actually for beginners. This package is so basic that you wont benefit from it if you have ANY experience. Its OK for a novice then, although the light hearted jokey theme running through the package is obviously aimed at younger children - Id say age 4-10 years maximum!! This is CD based and not DVD, so dont expect state of the art graphics and sound, cos you dont get them. Annoyingly, this is yet another software product that has a box about 10 times bigger than it actually needs to be. A small DVD case or even a CD jewel case would have been quite sufficient. I know this is done to make customers believe they are getting more for their money, but its a decpetion, and a waste of resources. So, a very basic and fair to middling starter package, although there are better ones out there at around the same cost. My guess is you are paying for the Dummies trademark, so shop around for a DVD based program that features a more comprehensive learning package, and one that can be used by adults too.

This is totally an amazing software!

excellent, learning right along.

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

But this softwares presentation is a bit dated. Using Windows 7 so not sure if this affects display and distortion with full screen view. Content wise, much better than the lessons that come with the keyboard. Worth the price.

I absolutely love this program!!! It makes learning easy and fun!!! Wish Id known about this sooner!!!

I never learned to play the piano but that wasnt the books fault.

I am just beginning to use the cd to learn to play the piano. I am impressed with it and so far it is much better than I thought it would be.
