The eMedia Learn to Play Keyboard Pack includes everything needed to learn keyboard straight out of the box. Intended for anyone who has thought about learning piano or keyboard or wants their children to learn but can not afford the high cost of a piano and private lessons, this package includes a MIDI controller keyboard, eMedia Piano & Keyboard Method CD-ROM and a MIDI to joystick port cable (through which the keyboard is connected and powered). A USB Version is also available.

The keyboard features 49 full-size touch-sensitive keys. Its compact size conveniently fits on your computer desk, and it plays through your computer speakers.

eMedia Piano and Keyboard Method CD-ROM provides more than 300 step-by-step lessons, starting from basics such as hand position, rhythm and playing on black keys, and moving on to music notation, sight reading, scales and more. Piano teacher Irma Irene Justicia, M.A., who has taught at the Juilliard School of Music, guides you with over 70 video demonstrations of techniques. Learn songs and exercises from either the music notation or an animated keyboard that displays fingerings in-time with the music. Songs and exercises are enhanced by live recorded audio, variable-speed MIDI keyboard tracks and colorful MIDI accompaniments. You will learn from over 100 popular classical, blues, pop and rock songs, including hit songs from artists such as Billy Joel, Bob Dylan and Elton John.

Interactive review and ear training screens help reinforce new concepts and develop your ear. With your MIDI keyboard, you will get specific feedback on playing mistakes, including wrong notes and rhythms so that you can play better faster. Other accessories include a built-in digital metronome and one-track recorder
