Summary: Too Bad They're So Slow
Review: I was looking for a good beginner program and thought i found it until i checked Window's compatibility. Since it's not compatible with XP it leaves a lot of people out in the cold. Also it makes me wonder why a software developer is so late in putting out an XP compatible version. They have a lot of other music related software that sounds great but they should get on the ball since it makes me go hmmmmmmmmmm.

Summary: Excellent Product !!
Review: I'm 52 years old and learning to play the piano for the first time. I'm using Teach Me Piano Deluxe in combination with my computer (running win xp) and a midi keyboard. I've been at it now for 5 months (practicing about an hour each day). When I started I knew nothing and now I'm playing simple songs. Short of having a teacher sitting beside you, I think this software is the next best thing. If you're willing to make the investment in time, Teach Me Piano will take you a long way toward learning the piano.

Summary: Good education, bad programming
Review: I'm not entirely sure I would recommend this program. On one side, it is a fairly good piano education program with traditional piano lessons for a low price. On the other side, the program has lots of bugs, and minor problems. You can probably end up having even more problems than me. I'm not sure if Voyetra would give you your money back if it doesn't work properly, but they probably should, as there certainly is a risk of just that. Then again, it doesn't cost too much, so you might want to take the risk anyway.

Summary: THEY SELL OLD INCOMPATIBLE COPIES - BEWARE
Review: If you buy this program, it may not run on the systems that it is purported too. They promote a new version of their product on their web site and then sell old versions through dealers that are incompatible. Then when you contact support about the problem they tell you that you should have bought it direct from them if you wanted a copy of the software that would run on the computers they claim it does.

Summary: Its not what I expect
Review: Poor quality of sound, and image and teaching. It is not fun and I don`t use it. I feel bad because I spend my money on this software, don`t recommend it at least you don`t know nothing about music.

Summary: Not for kids or someone without a musical background!
Review: This CD-ROM is cheaper than paying for a private teacher but has some problems. Pros:
Cheaper that paying for a private teacher, which can be costly.
Take lessons whenever you want.
A lot included (although a good amount of it is filler). Cons:
The lesson progression was too fast for my kids to keep-up. I was able to keep-up but took piano years ago.
Slightly dated program.
The material taught (songs) are very bland. I wish they would included more modern tunes.
The games included are worthless. Conclusion: If you already have some piano experience, this program could be interesting. However, if you are learning from scratch or getting this for your kids, you might have some difficulty.

Summary: Learn Piano!
Review: This is a great product from what I have seen so far. The only thing that bothers me is the fact that I can't listen to the computer play since I don't have a MIDI keyboard attached to my PC. I am actually using a piano to learn. I have corresponded with tech support, and while they have been prompt, they haven't been able to fix my problem.

Summary: Best Value Going
Review: This program has amazed me. I've been using it for three months, practicing about 1 1/2 hrs. a day and have become quite proficient. I'm 45 years old and have had no formal music training. I paid $45 dollars for the software and would gladly pay 3-4 times that amount, now that I've experienced it. Better than a private teacher because you can progress on your own schedule and choosing.
I don't believe it is intended for anyone under about 12 yoa even tho at times it seems very easy, yet VERY effective.
The instructional videos prior to the lessons are excellent. The ability to practice with evaluations, perform songs with a back up orchestra, quickly learn theory and technic,print and practice away from the pc, etc., makes practice fun and nearly addicting.
One shortcoming is the tech support (which is done only by e-mail). I had a hard time configuring my soundcard/synth initially, but soon found that the program includes an easy to use sound/configuration utility that helped alot. It also includes a sequencer/recording station!
This is one of the best values in software I have purchased.
