The eMedia piano keyboard and software are great! I like it that I get a grade for each song I play--I keep practicing until my grades are in the 90's. I have always wanted to learn the piano; it's hard to learn a new instrument and learn to read music at my age (I'm old), but I don't take it personally when the computer grade is low, I just keep practicing. There is one problem, though--you can't play this keyboard without a Midi-to-USB cable, which doesn't come with the keyboard. You have to pay more and order it separately from the company. It comes with a serial joystick cable, but my computer doesn't have a serial joystick port. We bought a generic midi-to-USB cable at Radio Shack, but it didn't work with the keyboard. They tell me that newer computers just don't have serial joystick ports. So, if you are anxious to get started, order the cable at the same time as the keyboard, to save time.

Worked great for a year & then suddenly wouldn't play, but I've learned to play lots of songs on it & the included interactive software is priceless for beginners.

I having so much fun! Can't wait to sit down to play - and then have to tear myself away. I don't know if I hooked up smething wrong, but the keyboard was unpredictable--sometimes I would get sound of it and sometmes not. I cured the problem by hooking my computer up to an inexpensive digital keyboard that I purchased, and now all is well. I would highly recommend the software to everyone!
