New Large Screen Format!

Song Highlighting and Looping:
Highlight an entire page, or just a portion of a song, and loop it for playback at whatever speed you are comfortable playing. Selected loops are now introduced with the MIDI tick count-off, so there’s enough time to get your hands back to the keyboard to play along. Thus you can follow along regardless of what section of the piece you’re working on.

Interactive Feedback:
For selected exercises, when using an electronic MIDI-compatible keyboard, you can get specific feedback on note and rhythm mistakes. 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 exercise.

Reviews and Ear Training:
Interactive review and ear training screens help reinforce new concepts and develop your ear.

Animated Keyboard:
Displays color-coded fingerings as the music plays. It allows you to see exactly how to play the song on a keyboard as you hear the music. Music tracking highlights the notes being played on the screen, making it simple to follow along.

Multi-track recorded audio:
High-quality multi-track recorded audio is included for every song and exercise.

Variable-Speed MIDI:
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.

Orchestral Accompaniment:
Selected pieces include orchestral accompaniment and even a jazz band to play along with.

Digital Metronome:
Allows you to set your own tempo and work on your speed, rhythm and timing. Provides both visual cue and/or audio tick. Full range of tempi, from largo to presto.

Digital Recorder:
Record and play yourself back! This feature allows you to compare your recordings to the instructor's version, fine tune your skills and share your recordings with friends and family.
