2. eMedia My Piano Starter Pack for Kids

Introducing the eMedia My Piano Kit. It has everything your child age 5 and up needs to begin playing piano: an electronic keyboard sized for small fingers with built-in speakers, a power supply, and the USB MIDI interface for connecting the keyboard to your computer. What's more, it comes with a great teacher, the award-winning interactive eMedia My Piano Win/Mac CD-ROM. The award-winning eMedia My Piano educational software is what sets this keyboard kit apart from all others. In eMedia My Piano an animated character named Pam the Piano leads kids through over 100 lessons, authored and demonstrated by Irma Irene Justicia, M.A., who has taught at the renowned Juilliard School of Music. eMedia My Piano covers basics such as proper hand and finger position, learning notes, counting rhythm, playing harmonies, and reading music. All this and more is taught with popular songs and melodies. The interactive games interspersed throughout the method make learning fun and easy. eMedia My Piano teaches with the help of videos and live recorded songs. The Animated Keyboard shows kids where to put their fingers as the music plays. The speed of the music can be adjusted with MIDI tracks, so kids can learn at their own pace. When My Piano is used with the MIDI keyboard included in this kit, students get feedback on notes and rhythms they played incorrectly and are shown what they should have played instead. Separate audio tracks (left/right hand, piano only/voice only) and colorful MIDI accompaniments provide engaging practice options. Additional valuable tools such as a metronome and digital recorder are also included. The eMedia My Piano Kit is the perfect way to introduce children of all ages to playing piano!
