CopyMe is an exciting new teaching concept for Band-in-a-Box. Here's how it works: your piano teacher, Miles Black, plays a 2-bar piano phrase along with a Band-in-a-Box accompaniment. That 2-bar piano phrase is then followed by 2 bars of the same Band-in-a-Box accompaniment with the piano part silent. This is where you come in... just copy what Miles has played. Once the lesson is complete, Miles explains and plays the next concept, followed again by your turn to play.

With the in sync audio track you will hear Miles explain and encourage you as each lesson progresses. And since it's a Band-in-a-Box add-on the notation will be prominently displayed, the lessons can be looped, the tempo can be adjusted to suit your ability-you can even change the key signature to learn each lesson in all 12 keys! What could be better than having your own "on-call" music teacher to explain and demonstrate the lessons.

In Volume 1, the lessons range from very basic harmony to 2-handed accompaniment. CopyMe - Piano Volume 1 - Basics, Harmony and Comping is a great place to start learning about harmony and how to play the piano.

You can hear and play along to many song ideas and go from "nothing" to "something" in a very short period of time with Band-in-a-Box as your "on demand" backup band.

Over the years many features have been added to Band-in-a-Box - Notation, Lyrics, Melody Tracks, Harmonization, and a programmable StyleMaker. The Soloist and the Melodist are two major "intelligent" features; the Soloist generates professional quality solos over any chord progression, the Melodist can create songs from scratch with Chords, Melodies, Intros, Solos, and even a Title!

Its built-in audio harmonies will turn your audio track into multiple harmony parts and even adjust its pitch by tracking the Band-in-a-Box Melody track. The inclusion of digital audio features makes Band-in-a-Box the perfect tool for creating, playing, and recording your music with MIDI, vocals, and acoustic instruments.

You can print out your finished creation with repeats and endings, DC markings and codas, or save it as a graphic file for web publication or to e-mail to a friend. And when you're ready to let others hear your composition, you can burn it directly to an audio CD. Or save your composition as a Windows Media File or in other compressed formats for a file that's "Internet ready."
