Progress Report shows you how you’re doing …

Several students can maintain their own progress reports as they learn to play, so every member of your family can start at a different level and progress at their own pace.

Song Book lets you perform what you’ve learned…

Easily access the songs you’ve learned, by title, style, composer or level of difficulty. Choose a song and go either to the Trainer Screen to practice or to the Performance Screen to play with background accompaniment. You can print the music to play later on, or import your own MIDI files into the Songbook to perform them as well.

References introduce you to theory and technology…
