Piano tutor software recommendations

Lots of questions this week sorry.
 
Somebody has asked me about piano tutor software. Can anybody make any recommendations?
And besides I need to improve myself, maybe I'll jump on that bandwagon as well...

I remember years ago you could virtually shoot ducks to their death if you got the played notes..

Thankyou!

Thanks..
 
Well clearly this is not the most exciting thread ever made, however bumping this in case other's may have some opinions.

Hmmm last go...so does anybody else have recommendations for a software based piano tutor? Ta

Thanks Scott and Alexey... Cheers!

Thanks I'll check it out. I've read his autobiography and from what I understand it involves eating rats, hiding from his mother, using the 'blacks only' back doors at venues and being paid like dirt. Boy did that guy go from rags to riches.. Now suing Jackson estate for screwing him over. So I'll definately check out his endorsement!

I second Scott's choice.  I have used their software and it is very good.  Also they offer the Piano for Dummies software, both beginner and advanced.  All are downloadable. 

One thing I would advise it to decide what sorts of music you imagine you will be playing, and look for lessons geared toward that kind of music.
 
Example:  There are ridiculously difficult exercise books that beat fingering and classical technique into your skull with a sledge hammer, and that's great if you are planning on playing Rachmaninoff or Chopin, but if you are more looking for the ability to play chords and simple 'pop' note sequences, then you don't need that kind of training approach.
 
There is also a distinction between music theory and piano playing instruction - bottom line is to find something that will teach you so that you can play the kind of music that is motivating you to learn in the first place.  :)
