Instant Feedback and Interactive Evaluation Feedback
For selected exercises, 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. This works for both acoustic pianos and electronic keyboards.
When using an electronic MIDI-compatible keyboard with selected exercises, you can get specific feedback on note and rhythm mistakes. Clicking on an individual feedback balloon brings up a keyboard showing you exactly what mistake was made and what should have been played. Also, an overall percentage score summarizes how well you did on the exercise.
Reviews and Ear Training
Interactive review and ear training screens 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.
Orchestral and Jazz Accompaniment Tracks
Selected pieces include orchestral accompaniment and even a jazz band with which to play along.
Piano Fingerings
The piano fingerings help teach you the correct fingering for each note and can be toggled on or off for any screen.
