Disklavier

I have personally used Voyetra's "Teach Me Piano" software with my 
disklavier DC3A, and I felt that it was a most effective means of 
beginning to learn to play the piano.  The program is presented as a  
two year course and you can read the details about it at 
http://www.voyetra.com/site/products/tmp/.  There are a few bugs in the 
software, but the course of music instruction designed by Hugh 
Berberich, Professor of Music at Iona College in New Rochelle, NY is 
first rate.  The program provides approximately 150 lessons and works 
beautifully with the disklavier.  For example,  with each lesson you can 
have the disklavier play one hand while you learn the other.  When you 
have learned a given piece of music well, you can enter "Performance 
Mode" and the disklavier's tone generator will produce a nice 
accompaniment to the musical selection as you paly the left and right 
hand piano parts.  The music ranges from folk and traditional  songs to 
some really beautiful classical music with very nice accompaniment.  I 
spent approximately one year using this software and practicing three 
hours per day to begin learning how to play the piano. At the end of a 
year, I felt that I had gone about as far as software could take me, and 
for the last year I have been taking piano lessons for one hour each 
week.  Best wishes to you as you begin your piano work.
