eMedia Piano For Dummies v2

This is a product aimed squarely at beginners: it all starts off from the very beginning, which is no bad thing, and takes things slowly so that you become competent and fluent, and it will boost confidence. Naturally, if youre after a refresher course, this is not for you.

Tried this product on three different computers, with windows7. Home Premium and Pro, didnt work with either version. Worked with Vista and XP but not with windows7.

Detailed, clear steps for self learning.

usefull

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

The trouble with this is that it sounds horrible. One of the best things about learning piano - as opposed to say violin - is that you can make a lovely sound almost immediately. But the simpified fingerings leave out the notes that everyone remembers in say mary had a little lamb so that the tune jars on unfamilar notes and the tinny electroonic piano sounds are just horrid. I got this to suppplement learning with the suzuki method (which is wonderful) and this was so depressing by comparison. I see it could be useful as a reminder on all the technical details but the audio lets it down. AND you need a midi keyboard - walking away and trying it on the real piano will sound nicer but doesnt really work,...
