Teach Yourself to Play Piano Deluxe Edition
© 2002 Alfred Publishing
Features of this piano tutorial include step-by-step video lessons, an interactive song player that lets you see exactly how songs are played, games, and a very cool Play It By Ear training program. The software is for use with either acoustic pianos or electronic keyboards. Included in the package are a songbook with music from the CD and a paperback music dictionary. There's a ton of content in this program, lessons are straightforward and well presented, and the games are fun. The Ear Training exercises are particularly effective. Note that this is a program whose pacing and presentation are best suited for teens and adults rather than children.
