And with the Piano Wizard Premier software, users can download and play any MIDI song from their favorite artists. The game’s beginner level is intended to teach students of all ages how to play the piano, while its advanced mode can challenge and stimulate even the most seasoned pianist. Price: $199.95, which includes Piano Wizard Premier software, the M-Audio 49e MIDI piano keyboard, USB cable to connect to a Windows PC, and colored stickers for the piano keys.
