Piano & Keyboard Method Version 2.0
© 2003 eMedia Music Corp.
This update features an updated curriculum, new larger easy-to-read screens, improved audio and video and progress tracking. There are 300 song-based lessons led by Irma Irene Justica, a former instructor at the Julliard School of Music. Students can learn to play piano at their own pace by following the step by step lessons and format videos, while an animated keyboard shows what to play along with the music. Students will start with the basics, including hand position, rhythm, and playing on black keys, and then move on to reading music notation, scales, and sight-reading. The variable speed MIDI tracks allow you to slow down or speed up the music, and song looping lets you highlight and loop sections to make practicing easier. The software features 100 popular classical, blues, pop, and rock songs including hit songs from artists such as Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, and Elton John. See also My Piano.
