On our Windows 3.1 test machine, the installer asked for the user's name and product serial number, then gave us the option of selecting directories and program groups, if we preferred something other than their default suggestions. The program comes with an uninsall option. The User Guide is complete and helpful if problems should arise, but for the most part the program is self-explanatory and simple to use. There is an enormous amount of information presented in this program in addition to basic keyboarding lessons. The interested user learns to appreciate keyboards as a group of instruments with a rich history and a promising and diverse future.
Instructional feedback is fairly detailed.
Rhythm and pitch scores are given in percentiles for each practice session. Specific bars that need work are mentioned, and the user can chose to repeat weaker bars, entire songs, or move on to the next lesson. Practice is highly encouraged at each level, but never forced upon the student. Although it contains three arcade style games, the true kid appeal of this program is the large selection of songs that are taught and practiced from the very start. Rather than wade through the one song per lesson drudgery associated with many tutorials, the user learns many simple songs with the earliest of lessons.
