2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money!, December 28, 2009

I was really disappointed with this product. For one thing, the keyboard does not plug into the computer or interact with the software at all. You can buy the software separately, which I would recommend, because this keyboard is not worth $80.00. It had mid-sized keys which are small. My next complaint is that the software only teaches rhythm and what the notes on the piano are. It does not teach a child how to read sheet music. My daughter (6 yrs old) got through the whole software CD in less than 2 hrs. She still can't read sheet music or play songs. She learned a small amount of music theory, which, I could have taught her for free. Finally, they say there is another CD that is Level 2, which there isn't. I have scoured the internet trying to find the next level and it appears not to have been released. So now I am not sure what to do. Way too expensive at $120.00. Not worth the money.
