Introducing the eMedia My Piano Starter Pack. This pack has everything your child needs to begin playing the piano: an electronic keyboard sized for small fingers, a power supply, and a USB cable for connecting the MIDI keyboard to your computer. The keyboard features built-in speakers and realistic sampled sounds.

The award-winning eMedia My Piano educational software is what sets this keyboard Pack 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 Pack, 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 Starter Pack also includes a bonus DVD for learning with the eMedia lessons on your TV. This makes learning even more accessible for when the computer is not convenient. The My Piano DVD features the same fun easy-to-follow lessons found in the My Piano CD-ROM.

I got this keyboard for my 7 year old to learn piano. It is a nice keyboard with a lot of instrument sounds, built-in drums and songs. It also comes with a great software program to use with the computer.
She really has latched onto the program and we have worked on it a little every night since we got it. There are some cute elements to it like a talking piano. However, the lessons are serious and have videos of the teacher showing piano skills. We hook it up to our Mac with a cable it comes with. When you play along with the songs, the program points out where you mis-played. It then shows you on the keyboard the mistake and what you should have played.
The keyboard itself seems well made. It has smaller keys than on my piano but that works well for a 7 year old. Their are plenty of instrument sounds for kids to play around with and the drum are fun to play oven. The songs that are built into the keyboard are not as good as the songs that are on the software program, so we have not done too much with that feature. You can see the songs played on the LCD screen on the keyboard but it is so much easier to learn from the software program that shows the music notation on a big screen with a animated piano that plays along with you.
This is great to either a self motivated kid who wants to learn to play or if you you to do it together.

I bought this for my nephew and he loved it. For the price it does a lot and the sound isn't bad, especially for kids. The tutorials are very good, if you can get a 6 year old to sit for them! Would recommend it. He has fun with it and 'jamming' with his brother and uncles. Cord is a bit short-nothing an extension cord can't fix.

My kids love this keyboard. The smaller keys make it easier for them to play. My son started the lessons provided on the CD but he never really got far. It seemed like he was learning though. Pleanty of instrument sounds and sample songs on the keyboard.
