Keyboard Lessons will keep track of many students...

Your entire family can use Teach Me Piano Deluxe and the software will maintain individualized records of each user’s progress. Just make certain that each user always signs in under his/her own name. (NOTE: To add a new student, you must close the program and re-open it.)

Keyboard Lessons and the Songbook have keyboard shortcut keys...

A listing of these appears in the “Quick Overview” chapter.

You can practice or perform any song at any time...

When you are in the Songbook, you can switch to either the Trainer Screen, to practice the song, or the Performance Screen, to perform the song with background accompaniment. Then, when you are in the Performance Screen, you can go to either the Trainer Screen or back to the Songbook. Refer to the “Songbook” chapter for more information.

You can adjust the volume in Keyboard Lessons…

If you find that the volume is too loud or too soft in Keyboard Lessons, use the Performance Options dialog box — click on the “Metronome” at the bottom of the screen — to adjust it. Refer to the “Keyboard Lessons” chapter for details.
