eMedia My Piano Starter Pack [Old Version, EK05103]

Haven't even used the computer part of this bundle, just the keyboard itself.The keys are small (good for younger children), and it is obviously not a full keyboard, and there are no pedals, but it is a great keyboard nevertheless! The sound is pretty good, the keys are solid and almost feel like a real piano's keys, there are lots of options and settings, a rec\play feature, headset support, and the power supply supports not only US, but also European voltage, which means international buyers won't have the problems of looking for a suitable power adaptor.Great value for money, it's so much better than the basic "piano-like" toys at a price which is not much higher that asked for them. Unlike the basic toys, though, it can be used to really play complex works almost like on a real piano, and with a wide array of instrument "voices" you can choose from it can also make this fun.And remember, there's also a software component which, according to other reviewers, is really worth something.Again, if you have the time and the child likes playing music, it can be later (about age 8) replaced with a real full-size keyboard\piano, and if not, it's not that expensive and you'll have had fun with it anyways :)

AWESOME first time piano kit for anyone in the family. My 6-year-old loves playing this and LEARNING how to do it correctly. Great buy for sure! What's even better... you can plug in HEADPHONES so you don't have to hear them as they practice if you have other things going on or need some quiet time while they're still playing. :)

My 5 year old received this keyboard for Christmas and although he doesn't follow the lesson plans, although he probably would if I encouraged him to do so, he still has a lot of fun playing it and messing around with all of the many sounds and songs. His favorite thing to do is hook his ear buds up to it and make up songs. He's actually getting pretty good at that. Just a great product for adult or child who wants to learn to play the keyboard.

I purchased the piano for my grandson. He's not the recommend age of 5yrs old yet, but he likes trying to play it.The quality is very good for the price and once he does turn 5 I think this is something he will not out grow for many year (if the product last that long) and the sound is good.I looked at the DVD on my computer and TV the lessons are great. I believe with practice he will learn the basics of playing, however, the quality of the DVD needs to be better. For that reason I gave it four stars.I am very pleased with this product! I do recommend it.

Everything described. My only negative criticism lies in the provided instruction manual. The instructions, especially regarding settings/changing settings, have a little to be desired. As far as the function of the keyboard, my critique is all positive. The sound is full and beautiful. All the different tones and rhythms provide endless combinations for the curious and experimental young (and old) minds. Great keyboard!!! The unit is light and easily mobile even for the intended little hands.

This keyboard was the right price and the right size to test our daughter's interest in learning to play. She is eight years old, and received it for Christmas. Once it came out of the box, she was immediately noodling around on it, and playing with the numerous sound effect features. We'll do our best to encourage her to stick with the self-paced lessons, but even if she doesn't, this doesn't break the bank. I'm finding it to be a lot of fun myself, so if she gives up maybe mom will take a crack at tickling the ivories. :-P

Basically a cheap casio keyboard bundled with software that looks like it was created 20 years ago. It's a shame this product isn't better made or at the very least, cheaper, because there isn't many things on the market to fill this need.The interactivity between the computer and keyboard is under utilized. You'd be better off buying your kid a toy piano from walmart and borrowing an instructional DVD from the library. Very disappointed with this product. I only wish I had returned it before it was too late.

I really want to give this product five stars, because it deserves five stars. I would have even given it four stars, but the box that it came in was so messed up that I had to give it three stars. If you are going to purchase this piano, I hope you have better luck with the box not looking all beat up.
