I watched the demo. I saw SOME options for 10-key... how much 10-key lessons are there in this program?

The software provides many plans to work with. One is specific to Full Keyboard and has at least 10 lessons within it. Then there are Advanced, Sentences, Speed and Accuracy, Business and other plans that will make use of the full keyboard. I purchased this a while ago and it has certainly improved my typing ability greatly. Hope this answers your question.

wow, 10-- kids are so computer savvy... my 16-year old is doing pretty advanced 3D animation, so I think that it's possible for a 10year old to learn this if he has patience and the attention span. Someone may have to help him here and there, but you know best if he's a kid that can learn things on his own. I do find that you can Google almost any question and someone somewhere has an answer, so that's helpful. Also, we love Lynda.com, which has tutorials for almost any software for unlimited learning at $35. a month. I don't remember if they have this software but you can go on their site and see. At the very least, if he finds it too hard, he can put it away for a year or two and try it again later-- but if he does well at this at age 10 he's doing great and has a future in this area if he wants it. I do have a background in design and know Adobe suite, so I find this fairly simple to learn but it is time consuming. Hope this is helpful. I will say that it is well worth the price.

As an adult with a musical background, I have not used the Yamaha Education Suite. However, I would highly recommend the Yamaha YPG-535 keyboard as a beginner's tool (if the student will stick with it, as it is a little costly). There are many features to help a beginner learn such as the built in metronome, the play along features, and the recording option. Best wishes to you in your final decision.

I heard it isn't $1.99 each time you give a key out. Its 1.99 per key for a lifetime and you can activate and deactivate it as many times as you wish! Sounds okay to me

I've only had this one, so no personal experience. But there are several youtube videos comparing different models. Here's one that compares 13.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCz2nUjlwCIIf you haven't had one before, I'd go cheaper to start and then decide if I wanted to make that much of an investment. I got mine because I wouldn't spend $200 on a Keytar without "trying" it. And I am very pleased with this. I was playing a solo intro with the band recently and when it was over had several people standing there asking what the instrument was...and complimenting me on my "talent." Which I don't claim to possess. I can mostly hit the right notes... I've only had this one, so no personal experience. But there are several youtube videos comparing different models.

Yes you can play multiple keys. Good looking keyboard and not "child - like". Suggest purchase interactive dvd for instruction manual if are beginner.

At least 3 .. but probably 4. I do not have it at my house to check ... gave it to two different grandkids (4 & 5 years old) so both of my sons could be tormented (LOL). The kids love it though and their parents aren't as tormented as I'd hoped ;) A little game I've developed is calling out the names of the keys (I've marked the 1st octave w/a sharpie) so they can start out 'dancing' simple songs like On Top of Old Smokey, Mary Had a Little Lamb, etc. This helps them learn their alphabet better and also sighting on the keys. Tons of fun!

You can only install it on one device to be able to get all the lesson. If you try to install it on another device you will only get some if the lessons. I would recommend the online option that allows you to access it from different devices and you get more features.

I found it to be very simple - works with a glove, and swiping across unlocks and,opens up the menu, and once you start a round, it is a breeze.Be sure to check the courses supported though - many parts of the world are missing.

I'm not so sure what your doing. With mine you put in the large number and hit the + key then put in your lower number had hit the - key and to get he answer hit the * key. Example: 500 plus key, 250 minus key, star key to get the answer = 250 I hope this helps you.

This is a great piano, for sure, but it may be a bit more than what you need if you are looking for an instrument on which to learn. I would suggest starting with a slightly less expensive "starter" keyboard, one with touch sensitivity, and then "graduating" to this instrument a bit later once you know that you are a budding pianist! :) Hope that helps!

The games are not listed as such. What I did was I installed 10 at a time and then went in played a short game and looked to see if I really wanted the games on my machine. There are a lot of different types. Matching 3 or more shapes, which I enjoyed. The puzzle and logic games which I also enjoyed. Some of the hidden objects i kept. But there were some that were instructional. Like you own a business and you want to succeed. So you need to do different things like hiring people, ordering materials, building homes. You really need to go through them and see which ones are for you. I have retained about 20 games on my pc. The others I uninstalled in case I want to go back at a later date.

We actually took it to a place that programs it. It is a key cutting place. It cost us $5.00 and took 5 minutes, if that to program. Check around they are all over.

I haven't viewed every last one of the videos from Fritz 13, but from what I can tell, they seem to be pretty short. And it is a little choppy going from one lesson to the next. I have taken a second look at the program (I have not regularly played chess for some time) and it seems to need improvement--the chess playing aspect of the program seems to be pretty good. However, I wonder if I need a better computer to handle the software. Sometimes, the program slows down on me--it seems to take forever to make a move, which seems odd (I am not a very good player, so surely the program should not ponder one of my weird moves for 10 minutes...).

Truth is, I don't know. I never tried doing this but it is an intriguing idea. If you go to Sibelius First, you can download a demo for 30 days (I think). It might be worth it to do that and give your idea a try. Good luck!

Yes, it's very easy to program.Basically all you need to know is what kind you need.Meaning the 10 key or 8 key. Once you figure that part out you can program it yourself by taking the back off and putting in your code.

Yes it has ~50 presets which covers all styles. I use it for practice and have yet to program it beyond the presets
