eMedia Piano For Dummies v2

This is great if you are about 5 years old, its just the emedia version with a piano for dummies badge, I was very disapointed, it looks old and still has bugs.

Love it!!!

Piano for Dummies is great. It is a very good way to learn basic piano playing,the knowledge of the key and actual playing of such.....It has been a great help for me.

excellent, learning right along.

As with most of the ...for Dummies range, this does deliver on it`s promise - but with caveats. I`ve flicked through a few of the different books from this series in shops, and always figured that they were not particularly different to any other basic introductions. And this is the same - and more to the point, if there is one thing the world already has plenty of, it`s books telling you how to play the piano! I was a bit surprised that this isn`t more progressive, or at least, modern, or different. It`s the same old songs as usual, hymns, carols etc., and it`s not very interesting. Having it playing on your PC or laptop whilst you tinkle the ivories may be helpful, as it probably focuses your learning, and obviously it is more fun and cheaper than forking out for lessons from an increasingly frustrated tutor! 150 lessons sounds like a lot, but each one is very short, and they are very easy to follow. Also, it won`t take you that far in terms of development - it really is for beginners, maybe up to very low intermediates. If you really haven`t touched a keyboard before, then perhaps this is a good start, but that`s all it is.

After receiving an organ as a gift I bought this. Its a great start especially if you have no musical background.

I loaded this onto my windows PC and connected an Axiom midi player keyboard via USB. The software loaded quickly and ready to be used. The only problem was there was always a millisecond delay between when I played the note on the keyboard and when the sound actually came out of the speaker. (which can be irritating when you are trying to play to a metronome) I tried the settings but just could not fix it.

Great!

If you like stuffs that works for people that really, really, but really wanna waste time.

Even a dummy can learn to play a piano.
