My Piano is a fun and innovative program that introduces an exciting new way for kids ages 6 and up to learn how to play piano. The title features large-screen video demonstrations that guide children through the material, and uses interactive games and quizzes to help teach music notation and other basic concepts. My Piano shows kids that learning music can be fun and easy!

My Piano stars a playful animated character named Pam the Piano, who guides them through lessons written by former Juilliard School of Music instructor Irma Justicia, M.A.  The program starts with the basics, such as going over proper hand position and names of notes, and moves on to playing songs and reading music. Games get children excited about learning while giving them a chance to build confidence by practicing their new musical skills. With over 100 lessons featuring dozens of popular songs, My Piano is the perfect way to introduce children to playing music!

My Piano includes other useful features that will have children playing right away. The animated keyboard shows them where to put their fingers while playing chords. When used with a MIDI keyboard, it will show them when they played incorrect notes and what they should have played instead. Song looping lets them repeat sections of songs, which makes practicing more difficult parts a breeze. Other valuable tools, such as a metronome and digital recorder, are also included.

Interactive Feedback

When 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. There's also an overall score to show them how well they did on the song.

Full-motion videos

The lessons are easy to follow with our large-format videos, featuring split-screens and close-ups that guide kids through songs and playing techniques.

Interactive Games

Games help children learn chords and songs by reviewing what they learned in the lessons. By interacting with the playful characters and scenes, kids will have fun while learning music!

Metronome

Kids can set their own tempo and get audio and/or visual cues for staying on beat so they can play in time with the music.

Recorder

The digital recorder allows kids to play into the computer’s built-in microphone (or an external one), record their performance, and save it to the computer. This handy tool lets them listen to what they played and share it with their family and friends.

The CD-ROM is a hybrid for both Windows (98/2000/NT/Me/XP/Vista) and Macintosh (OSX 10.2+).
