Product Description:
eMedia Piano and Keyboard Method CD-ROM offers over 300 step-by-step lessons starting from the basics such as hand position, rhythm, and playing on black keys, followed by music notation, sight reading, scales, and more. Professional piano instructor Irma Irene Justicia, M.A., who has taught at the renowned Juilliard School of Music, guides you with over 70 videos with demonstrations of techniques with enhanced quality. Many of the videos include split-screen displays with close-ups for a clearer perspective. The Piano fingerings help teach you the correct fingering for each note. Personalized reports show your rate of progress, including scores for specific songs. High-quality, multi-track recorded audio is included for every song and exercise. Audio playback options include piano only, voice only, and full audio including both piano and voice. Slows down the audio to any tempo, while the Animated Keyboard shows song fingering as the music plays. You can play along and learn at the pace best suited to your skill level. MIDI playback options let you select left or right hand only, or a tick metronome track to play along with.

When using an electronic MIDI-compatible keyboard, you can get specific feedback on note and rhythm mistakes made while playing to help you get it right the next time. Clicking on an individual feedback balloon brings up a keyboard showing you exactly what mistake was made and what should have been played. Also, an overall percentage score summarizes how well you did on the song. With the click of a button, you can get suggestions as to which Voice to use on your MIDI keyboard to get the best sound for the song. Interactive review and ear training screens help reinforce new concepts and develop your ear. This feature allows you to compare your recordings with the instructor's version, fine tune you
Customer Reviews:
 Did not work on any Mac I owned., 2008-09-11
I have tried two of these packs. The Mac section of this CD did not work on either one and the program could not be installed.
I tried it on 4 Macs, each with different processors & versions of OSX, all supported by emedia. Each gave the same error: 'Cannot complete the operation because some data in 'emedia piano method' could not be read'.
Emedia's customer service was simply non existent. They did not acknowledge or reply to two requests for support.
Interestingly, despite saying 'v2.0' on the CD, the file properties of the mac application showed 'Version 1.0'. The retailer tested the PC application and it worked fine but there is at least a batch of CDs with corrupted Mac software out there.
