eMedia Learn to Play Keyboard Pack (USB version)

The eMedia Learn to Play Keyboard Pack (USB Version) includes everything needed to learn keyboard straight out of the box. It's an ideal affordable solution 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 keyboard, eMedia Piano & Keyboard Method CD-ROM, and an M-Audio USB MIDIsport Uno™ interface/cable.

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 offers everything you need to learn how to play. Over 300 step-by-step lessons start from basics such as hand position, rhythm and playing on black keys, and move on to music notation, sight reading, scales and much more! Piano teacher Irma Irene Justicia, M.A., who has taught at the renowned 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.
