The Piano Room is the main screen from where you access all of the programs in Teach Me Piano. You can instantly jump to any section of the teaching system by clicking on the item in the menu list.
Hardware that gives you an advantage
Unlike software-only packages, the Teach Me Piano Kit is a complete solution that includes a USB MIDI interface--an essential part of any PC music learning system. The USB MIDI interface connects your electronic keyboard to a desktop or laptop PC to provide real-time feedback as you learn. Hearing the notes play on your music keyboard as you watch them on your PC screen provides an intuitive and fun environment for learning how to play the easy way!
Piano Lessons teach you how to play
Divided into six sections with more than 150 lessons, the Lessons section covers a full spectrum of keyboard-playing skills, including notation, rhythm and timing, finger positions, key signatures, time signatures, scales, and chords. You’ll learn how to play more than 75 popular songs and proper playing technique.
Recording Station
Record songs on your PC the way it’s done in a real recording studio. Recording Station lets you combine digital audio and MIDI tracks to create musical arrangements that include synthesizers, voices, acoustic instruments, and other real-world sounds. Record from any MIDI compatible keyboard or load one of the many MIDI compositions included and experiment by re-orchestrating the music.
Progress Report shows you how you’re doing
Several students can maintain their own progress reports as they learn to play, so every member of your family can start at a different level and progress at their own pace.
Song Book lets you perform what you’ve learned
Easily access the songs you’ve learned, by title, style, composer, or level of difficulty. Choose a song and go either to the Trainer Screen to practice or to the Performance Screen to play with background accompaniment. You can also print the music to play later on, or import your own MIDI files into the Songbook to perform them as well.
Musician’s Reference introduces you to theory
This section describes musical notation, definitions, and musical terms, to serve as a handy reference guide.
SoundCheck helps you set up your music system
If you need help setting up your music system, SoundCheck is the perfect tool. From here, you can check the operation of your MIDI keyboard, microphone, audio playback, and more. There’s even a video lesson on how to connect your MIDI keyboard to your PC!
