"Just writing this message to say thanks. 3 Months ago I decided to buy a keyboard. A week later I looked on Amazon for a program to teach me how to play. I have been working on the program at least an hour a day for the last three months! All i ever want to do is play! I was just playing! I see music in my head when just three months ago i considered myself tone dead! I can not think you guys enough, I feel more relaxed and generally more happy these days all because a genius team of people created this program for under $100, in todays rough economy it's back to basics and now i have this wonderful gift. Sorry to drag on but really, THANK YOU!!!"
