In eMedia Piano and Keyboard Method and for selected exercises in eMedia Intermediate Piano and Keyboard Method, Instant Feedback shows you when you play the correct notes as you progress through a melody.

Your computer will listen as you play and highlight correctly played notes in green. As you reach your goal of playing the melody correctly, you’ll discover that reading music notation is easier than you ever thought possible!

eMedia Piano and Keyboard Method and selected exercises in eMedia Intermediate Piano and Keyboard Method offer Interactive Evaluation Feedback. When using an electronic MIDI-compatible keyboard, you can get specific feedback on note and rhythm mistakes made while playing to help you get it right!

Click a feedback balloon and the Animated Keyboard shows you exactly what mistake was made and what should have been played. An overall percentage score summarizes how well you did on the song.

The 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.

The Note and Finger Tracker tools show you the note you play as music notation and on eMedia’s Animated Keyboard. You’ll be able to correct your playing and learn to read music faster!

Reviews and Ear Training Quizzes help reinforce new concepts and develop your ear.

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.

Piano Fingerings help teach you the correct fingering for each note. Guitar chords are included in eMedia Piano and Keyboard Method so a friend who is learning guitar can play along with you. Piano fingerings and guitar chords can be toggled on or off for any screen.

Live Recorded Audio is included for every song and exercise. Audio playback options include piano only, voice only, and full audio featuring both piano and vocal performances.

Use the variable-speed MIDI tracks to slow the music down to any tempo, and the Animated Keyboard will show the fingerings in time. You can play along and learn at the pace best suited to you!

MIDI playback options let you hear the left- or right-hand parts in isolation or just the metronome track, if you like. Colorfully arranged accompaniments are also available and can be a joy to play along with! Selected pieces include orchestral and jazz band accompaniment tracks.

In eMedia Piano and Keyboard Method, personalized Progress Tracking reports show your progress, including scores for specific songs (when using a MIDI keyboard).

Selected pieces in eMedia Intermediate Piano and Keyboard Method include orchestral accompaniment and even a jazz band with which to play along.
