Selected pieces include orchestral accompaniment and even a jazz band to play along with.You will learn from over 50 popular songs, including classics from artists such as Beethoven, Chopin and Irving Berlin.

Interactive review and ear training screens help reinforce new concepts and develop your ear. Selected exercises offer instant feedback on your playing, both with acoustic pianos or electronic keyboards.
