eMedia Piano For Dummies v2

installed after multiple attempts. Will not open says needs shockwave installed. I have done this but program still cannot find it. This means the program is useless. Maybe it doesnt work with ElCapitan

Didnt go well with a modern pc load of issues binned it

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.

I absolutely love this program!!! It makes learning easy and fun!!! Wish Id known about this sooner!!!

Yes ,if you are an absolute beginner , like me , then this will be a great course for you , because it works best for people who have no musical experience , which I suppose is the point of it all anyway. This course will be much cheaper than actual piano lessons - you can play the parts over and over again. Theres constant feedback for where youre going right or wrong , and there are plenty of lessons to have a go at , so why not give it a try?

Whilst the clever people at Dummies (something of a contradiction!) have provided us with hundreds of books, their software library has always been limited. What youll find in many instances is that their software can operate on numerous levels; as a standalone product, to be combined with printed material, or to offer an alternative experience from a text book.

Even a dummy can learn to play a piano.

Works well for learning Piano on the computer. But you must be dedicated to finish the software.

This is a great little product. The lessons are great, and with the Music Theory for Dummies book, I feel like I am really making progress. Im not trying to become the next great recording artist or anything, but it is fun to learn how to create music.

was the worst piece of stuff i ever bought not informative boring nothing like described a waste of my money
