Instructor Irma Irene Justicia, M.A., a Julliard professional, starts you off with the basics, such as clapping and rhythm. She then takes you from rhythmic improvisation on the black keys to playing simple songs with both hands. As you're playing, instructor advice is only a click away.

When you use an electronic keyboard and connect it to your computer, the instructor stays with you to let you know when you play a wrong note and to indicate what you should have played.

Guitar chords are included so that a friend can accompany you.
