Piano Lesson Software

Does anyone know of any software programs that will teach basic piano that I can hook up to my disklavier through my laptop? Does the software come with the necessary interface cable?

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. Tom Wheeler sammyspebro wrote:

I have a Disklavier MX100B with a MIDI connector
without a tone generator. Would this software work with this piano?
How does one add a tone generator to this Piano?
Thanks

The Voyetra "Teach Me Piano" software will definitely work with a Mark II disklavier. I used it for a year on the DC3IIXG disklavier (a Mark II unit) that I traded for my DC3A. The list price of the software is approximately $79 but you may be able to find it cheaper than that on the internet. Tom

The Voyetra software will work with any keyboard that has a midi In and a midi OUT port. Of course, without a tone generator you will not be able to enjoy the tone generated accompaniments, but the software should drive your disklavier as an acoustic piano controller. Others who are more experienced than I with the MX100B will have to tell you how to add a tone generator. Perhaps the DSR1 is the way to go but I really don't know enough about your model disklavier to say for sure.
