I have read many reviews of this keyboard before I bought it, for better or for worse, and I agree with a number of other comments - I like the keyboard, I hate to stand. First, I like the keyboard and the education system. I found many methods of teaching is very practical and imaginative. You can learn by demonstration, while the keyboard light, or just sit and watch and learn if you practice the rhythm by pressing the button to get the right stimulation, you can also use the method "wait", where the light moves and play a song with you, but if you stop, or the wrong key, the system waits for you, is the owner of the track, then well-lit Keyword (s) hit, and not proceed until you are right, then continue. And yes, you can disable at any time, you can disable the buttons light, and only if you want to play an instrument like a normal piano.
You can also learn from both hands in a window just above the keys, which shows that the fingers of both hands are used to play every note. If you are a bit 'late and prefer to learn with a part-time, you can set the direction of the cut to the right or left, in order to concentrate on one. You can also learn by watching the image sticks to each note and seems to be on the lines or spaces, which is ideal if you do not read music and still have no idea how the keys of a piano black and white, refer to notes on the page.
I like the feature that allows you to adjust the pace and I learned a lot, slowing down difficult passages of the chapter, and then use the repeat function to automatically start the game a few times until you tell him to stop, then back to section Next, or a normal pace or keep a slower pace. I like the feature that lets you automatically have a contract with a finger on his left hand during the focus on learning the right melody, and if you want to play on the piano keyboard on a regular basis, you can disable the auto-accompaniment and play games full for each other.
There are hundreds of voices and styles and tunes to choose from, and the instruction booklet that comes with the keyboard teaches you how to use all those features. One of the most amazing aspects is how the voice called "Grand Piano" makes your electric keyboard sound like just that -- like having a baby grand in the living room. Or you can make yourself sound like a church organ or violins or brass or woodwinds and on and on. You can add drumbeats and other backgrounds in absolutely any musical style you can think of. A legend printed above the keys offers numerous short-cut suggestions for choosing the style and voice you want. A keypad lets you choose which song you would like to learn, and those numbers correspond to the songs in the songbook that comes with the keyboard, and these songs are programmed into the listen-and-learn built-in songs. My only complaint with the song book is the notes are printed so tiny I have to squint. I guess they did that to squeeze in the songs on the fewest pages to save printing costs and to keep beginners from having to turn so many pages.
I had a keyboard, a bit more than a month, and are already in sight reading and playing pieces by Chopin and Beethoven, but I must admit that I already had a history of music to another instrument, and that helped some . But if you want a system where you can play the melody, the day after the package arrives, is the keyboard for you. In general, I like this keyboard.
