My Violin

Research has proven that children who play an instrument do better in school, make friends more easily, are more creative, learn self-discipline and gain self-confidence. My Violin is the perfect way to introduce children to playing violin. Now it’s easy for kids ages 6 and up to learn how to play violin. In eMedia My Violin, an animated character named Val the Violin leads kids through lessons by Sabina Skalar. My Violin covers the basics, such as tuning your violin and playing notes, and moves on to reading music, playing songs, and much more. An animated fingerboard shows you where to put your fingers as the live recorded audio plays. Double-clicking on any note will also show them where to put their fingers. The revolutionary Finger Tracker listens to your playing and shows you whether your fingers are on the right spot. With MIDI tracks, the speed of the music can be adjusted so you can learn at your own pace. Special features such as an automatic tuner, metronome, and digital recorder are all included. Using either the computer’s built-in microphone or an external one, your child can get tuned up quickly and easily with the built-in interactive tuner. They can just line up the arrow with the right string and be in tune. The lessons are easy to follow with our large-format videos, featuring split-screens and close-ups that guide kids through songs and playing techniques. A digital recorder allows kids to play into the computer’s built-in microphone (or an external one), record their performance, and save it to the computer Minimum System Requirements – Macintosh- Power PC G3 or better (Intel OK), Mac OSX 10.3+, 64MB free RAM, CD-ROM / Windows- Pentium II PC, Windows Vista / XP, 64MB free RAM, CD-ROM
