Do the lessons really teach you to play?

My kids are still rather young- we started using it when my oldest two were 5. They had times when they were interested more than others. I didn't rush it because playing piano is developmental and they weren't totally ready. They can sit a little longer now that they're 7. Jury is still out on whether or not the lessons "really teach you to play" but that was never my intent with this. I just wanted to expose them to piano in a fun way. This does that.

Since I wasn't using it, I can't speak from personal experience, but my granddaughter benefitted greatly from the package.

yup, good for anyone, three things 1) tune it - there are online tuners, smartphone apps, or handheld tuners. but keep it in tune. 2) use you tube for lessons and chords and how to play songs 3) (most importantly) NEVER PUT IT DOWN. practice practice practice. i have been playing for over 25 years and i always have a guitar in my hands even if it's laying on the floor watching TV. good luck have fun, guitars and music has brought great joy into my life.

Yes, lots of fun for adults - or anyone of any age. When more are playing, it is more fun to add sets to give more to work with. Anyone can end up winning - regardless of their age!

I'd say it is! The intro adventure walks you through the rules as you play, introducing each mechanic "naturally". Honestly, it works very, very well for starters.

They have a beginning tutorial. And they is a button you can click and it tells you more details(you can check it anytime in the game)

Yes, I bought for my kids. It's great for starters. It's helpful when learning to play.

Yes, but there is only one or two CDs. They correlate with the lessons but in a very broad sense.

We just learned to play it from the rules. I read them and looked at everything ahead of playing - by myself - until I somewhat understood what was supposed to happen. I think all of these types of games have really detailed rules and you just need to go over them really well and think it out - or play first with someone who has played it before. Also - keep the rules handy for reference as you play the game. That is the best advice I can give. After you play it a couple times - it become's pretty easy and a game can be played in 30 mins. I have nephews & nieces that are 9 that play - maybe not with the most strategy - but they play. We just learned to play it from the rules.

I have not taken any of the lessons myself but I understand that it teaches you to read music.

Yes. There's a book that tells how to play the game. However, a more detailed book which I purchased, called A Beginner's Guide to American Mah Jongg, by Elaine Sandberg, is excellent and goes into more detail. Learned this summer and play with our group twice a week usually.

No, the game is pretty much self-teaching. This animal crossing game was my first . Now, I understand it and it's loads of fun!

The piano does not have any features to teach you to play. However, it is a very good piano. We have been very pleased with it.

No, the board is mainly used to learn how to ride, carve, and some dancing. However, this board does allow you to learn how to slide(just not very well).

Yes. With the board games such as chess or backgammon, I do all the time. Enjoy!

Sometimes I play shifting labyrinth then move my piece and sometimes I play that it is a player choice. But I never play to move the piece first then shift the labyrinth. It is a really good game.
