What is the best Piano teaching software?

Q. Is there one that teaches chord proficiency like Mavis Bacon teaches typing? With the aid of a MIDI controller.

A. I loved the old Miracle Piano system. You got a MIDI-compatible keyboard and software that included games that were fingering exercises.

The company went under, though, and the company who bought up the rights hasn't continued it. When my kids got old enough to start learning, I started looking at the newer programs but I haven't found anything that even came close to Miracle's program. You might find an old version on eBay.

Original Question

Can i learn to play the piano by using a keyboard?
Q. I am thinking of playing the piano because it runs in my family, and I cannot afford a piano right now. I have 200 dollars so I am going to probably buy a 61 Key Keyboard. I am willing to teach myself and for about 1-2 hours, and Im used to stretching my fingers with playing the guitar alot. Basically, how can i learn with a 61 keyboard? And are there any books or games or lessons online or to buy at a store that you reccommend?

A. Of course-I actually started playing the keyboard before playing piano.

But I should warn you there are 2 different styles-1 is called keyboard-accompaniment, where your left hand plays chords which control the background music played by the keyboard, and your right hand plays the melody.

But of course normal pianos don't do this!

The other style is where you play melodies with both hands, which is the same as a normal piano.

I started playing keyboard-accompaniment before I learned piano, using The Complete Keyboard Player series, but if you only want to aim for piano then you should learn to play melodies with both hands. I took me a while to adjust to piano because of my keyboard style, but I did enjoy playing both styles.

You should also be aware of the fact that keyboard keys are a lot lighter than piano keys, and you should play with something called "touch response", which means the harder you hit a key, the louder it is. Don't keep this turned off as you will find it difficult to adjust to piano when you come to it.

If you go to any music store you will find lots of books that can teach you.
Read through them and only buy ones you feel you will understand, i.e. easy ones. to begin with.
