Instant Feedback works with both electronic keyboards and acoustic pianos! It listens as you play melodies and shows whether you're playing correctly. ATTENTION MAC USERS - Beginning with macOS 10.15 (Catalina), Apple has eliminated the option to run 32-bit apps on the Mac. If you wish to continue using our applications, which currently require 32-bit support, do not upgrade your operating system past Mac OS 10.14 (Mojave). Alternatively, you can retain an older Mac operating system on a separate drive partition. eMedia developers are currently working on software updates to support Catalina and future versions of macOS, but this is a major undertaking. eMedia is currently unable to foresee how long it will take to create these new versions. If you purchased your eMedia software on or after September 7, 2019, upon receiving proof of purchase eMedia Music will provide you with a free upgrade to a macOS 10.15 (Catalina)-compatible version of an eMedia application when it becomes available. All other registered owners of eMedia software will be qualified for discounted upgrades.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone know how it connects to Yamaha clp
Answer:	Make sure your keyboard is connected and recognized by your computer via USB/MIDI (e.g., proper drivers installed, if required). Please ask Yamaha for help if that part gives you trouble. Once you have established that your keyboard is recognized by your computer, then launch eMedia Piano and Keyboard Method and open "Instrument Setup" from the Options menu. Click the checkboxes are follows: 1) Electronic keyboard/piano, 2) Yes (connected via USB/MIDI), and finally 3) select "from my keyboard (speakers or audio output)" since your keyboard will produce its own sounds (best option for lowest latency). To confirm that everything is working correctly, play a few notes on your piano. You should see the "Keyboard test" light turn green in the window. Close the "Instrument Setup" window, and you're ready to go. You will hear the lesson content (songs, videos, etc) from your computer speakers, but the sound of your playing will come from your Yamaha piano. I hope that helps!
Question:	Does this come with a midi-usb connector
Answer:	Dear Molivia, my apologies for the delay. Since I bought the digital version (image of dvd plus the key) Im not sure! but it can be easily acquired here in Amazon, like I did. http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Cable-Converter-Music-Keyboard/dp/B001LJUVO4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386874498&sr=8-1&keywords=midi+usb.
Question:	There are multiple MIDI keyboard sizes on Amazon from 25 to 88 keys. What is the minimum number of keys needed to successfully play all featured songs? I'd hate to be playing along and run off the end of the keyboard
Answer:	Chiming in from eMedia here. All of the songs and exercise in this curriculum can be played with a four octave (e.g., 49-key) keyboard. If you already one of these you will have no trouble using this course. If you are shopping for a new keyboard, you may wish to consider your future needs beyond the eMedia software. The range of a five octave keyboard is usually enough to accompany yourself with your left hand as you play a melody with your right hand, and if you search for "eMedia piano pack" you'll see a few inexpensive options that we offer bundled with this software. That said, the full range of the piano is a joy to experience so go for the full 88-keys if you have the budget. Wishing you lots of success!
Question:	I was led to beleive by some of the answers here that this program cam with a cable. But I didn't get one. Was there supposed to be any cables provided? I think my keyboard (also new and still in the box) only has a USB port. What cable would I need? *very blonde today* thanks for your patience
Answer:	Hi Julia...no, the software does not come with any type of cables. The answer to what type of cable you need to buy depends on what type of device you're planning on connecting to your keyboard. For example, if you're planning on using a computer - all computers use a rectangular connector (also known as a 'Type B' connector). You need to look at the back of your keyboard and determine what type of connector it requires. It may be rectangular (like your computer) or it may be square (also known as a 'Type A' connector. This will tell you if you need a Type A (because the keyboard has a square connector)/Type B cable (standard rectangular connector), or a Type B/Type B Cable. The Type A/Type B is most common and is nothing more than a standard printer cable. You can find those for around $6. No need to spend any more than that. Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone know a good, cheap keyboard that would work well with this program
Answer:	YPG 235 Yamaha. Excellent Keyboard, You can use a controller, but I will recommend better the Keyboard, because this is more easy to use with this program.
Question:	WIll this show if you are playing at the correct tempo and holding the notes for the correct period like pianomarvel
Answer:	I got this for my daughter, but yes, it does alert her if her tempo is off or holding the notes too long. She said the notes do change color when you make an error and as far as some of the information, there is a button you select for "feedback" and it tells you that you held a note too long or making some other kind of error. Basically the same feedback a piano teacher would give you. She really likes the software and she has used it solely to learn how to play the piano.
Question:	How many keys should my keyboard have in order to get the full use of this software? Does it use the full 88 keys or just
Answer:	The keyboard note guide shows all notes used in the lessons--49. I'm using a 61-key Casio with USB midi connection.
Question:	Would this package be a good continuation of piano for dummies
Answer:	yes excellent tool

There's never been a good online solution for learning piano... until now.



Online piano lessons have been plagued with problems. From the frustration of not being able to clearly see the teacher demonstrate to figuring out how to keep track of sheet music, they've been far from ideal. Skype just isn't built for music lessons. And while in-person piano lessons can be great, let's be real—they're a huge hassle. There's so much wasted time from driving and waiting around, and it's hard to work up the motivation to practice songs between lessons.







We looked at the problems of both online and in-person piano lessons and came up with a solution that actually works.

Live remote piano lessons with McCarthy Music can be done from the comfort of home (or wherever you are!). You can chat online with teachers before booking, and your schedule is always in your control. The software is loaded with features to accelerate your learning, yet it's easy to use. You can keep archives of all your lessons, automatically organized. The interactive scoreviewer makes practice fun. And we're adding cool new features all the time (we're always open to ideas; just drop us a line).
