Customer Reviews

I am having a blast learning how to pay my keyboard with this software. You can see your progress and that makes me want to practice more and set goals. I wish I had this software years ago.

For Christmas, I bought this to go along with the electronic keyboard we have. It was the smart move to do. It's very informative and it makes learning the keyboard seem like a breeze, not to mention a blast. The videos are a major plus and the program is very user friednly. It even includes showing guitar chords so anyone who plays guitar can play along. I have other titles by the 'For Dummies' series (including 'Guitar for Dummies'), so I knew I couldn't go wrong getting this one. The whole family is pleased with this one.

This is totally an amazing software!
It makes learning piano fun and interesting. The lessons make it completely easy to understand piano! This is definitely worth the price. It works on Windows 7 as well! :)
Only two things:
1. Make sure that you buy a midi cable. One that connects the keyboard to the computer. Such as a USB Midi Cable Converter PC to a Music Keyboard. (Buying one of those is really inexpensive.)
2. Make sure that the keyboard you have is a midi keyboard. (Preferably about 61 keys or more will do it.)
