I've seen acoustic to digital, MIDI enabled, conversion kits for around $2000 (sans installation)... which is about what a Kawai VPC1 midi controller keyboard (i.e. what Billy Joel plays in concert hidden in a wooden PSO (piano shaped object)) costs. And, it's about what a Roland RD2000 costs, if yo...

Actually, this pretty much happens with all of the Basic Boot camp Lessons when I select measures to practice.

That's good to hear, because I bought the Kawai MP11SE.

I've noticed that, at least in the Bootcamp lessons, if I make a mistake and stop before the end of a section, the accompaniment will often become out of sync with the metronome and PGS "hands."

Facebook has a huge user-base. And the PGS group on FB is more likely to catch the attention of people who aren't a...

My piano sound is from a VST acoustic grand piano sample library called Addictive Keys. It runs on the com...

I turned the numbers and note names off immediately. I could see, right away, that they would become a crutch. And, like the previous poster, Scirocco, said there are dozens of musical notation practice apps for your phone. I use them at work whenever I have downtime... especially for practicing the...
