eMedia My Piano Pack
Piano learning software and 49-key keyboard for ages 6 and up

Research has proven that children who play an instrument do better in school, make friends more easily, are more creative, learn self-discipline and gain self-confidence. The eMedia My Piano Pack combines the acclaimed eMedia My Piano software with a robust, high quality, full-size, touch-sensitive, 49-key, MIDI keyboard that you play through your computer speakers. The specially-designed MIDI keyboard features pitch bend and modulation controllers, MIDI out port, USB port and a sustain pedal input jack. Connect the keyboard to your PC or Macintosh computer’s USB port using the included USB cable. The small footprint of the keyboard makes it ideal for use on your computer desk. A power adapter is not necessary with this USB version because the keyboard is powered through USB cable. Piano sounds play through your computer speakers.

eMedia My Piano covers the basics, such as learning your notes, counting rhythm, and moves on to playing chords, reading music, playing songs, and much more. eMedia’s exclusive animated keyboard shows kids where to put their fingers as the live recorded audio plays. With MIDI tracks, the speed of the music can be adjusted so kids can learn at their own pace. When My Piano is used with a MIDI keyboard, kids get instant feedback on notes and rhythms they played wrong and find out what they should have played instead. Additional features such as a metronome and digital recorder are also included. My Piano is the perfect way to introduce children to playing piano.

Now it’s easy for kids ages 6 and up to learn how to play piano. An animated character named Pam the Piano guides kids through over 100 lessons by former Juilliard School of Music instructor Irma Irene Justicia, M.A. Games make learning fun, and kids will learn songs that they can share with their friends. Kids also have access to live-action video demonstrations of techniques from Irma Justicia. Songs and exercises are enhanced by live recorded audio, variable-speed MIDI keyboard tracks and colorful MIDI accompaniments. Interactive game screens help reinforce new concepts and develop your child’s ear. When used with an electronic MIDI keyboard, your child will get specific feedback on playing mistakes, including wrong notes and rhythms. Your child will learn how to play and learn a lot about music as well.
