Is this suitable for a college music student? Hello - would this be helpful for a college music student going for a BM in instrument performance?

Get this. It will be great for quick reference, especially when in front of the computer. For many class assignments you'll have in a Music program, you'll want a 49 or 61 key keyboard though. You'll end up having both this micro keyboard and a larger one before you graduate.

It will only work for you if you are not gonna be a stage performer for at least a year from now. If you are that much amateur that you do not care about impressing the audience, and you only care about learning some basic violin playing techniques, then it's THE BEST for you. On the other hand, if as a stage performer, you want its sound to be impressive from the audience point of view, it will not be the case. Some people say that it is only good for hanging it over your wall for beauty, but I do not agree. It is a real violin, but not a professional one at all. Only works for 1st year learners, but works great for them.

This is a trumpet. It is a very nice instrument. Valves are good and the sound is not bad for a student instrument. It also looks fabulous.

This instrument would probably good for beginners because of it's sheer simplicity, as it only has six holes. There is a pamphlet that comes with it that describes how to play it, and gives you fingerings for two octaves on the musical staff. It is easy to learn once you get the hang of lip placement on the mouthpiece, and I think that if you were to transition to the flute or piccolo, it would prepare you for the transition, as you would be able to control your tone and airflow better with practice from this instrument.

I'd say the sound quality is pretty decent for a small keyboard. I find it useful as something portable when I need a keyboard, but am away from my piano, and for adding synth sounds to compositions, but I wouldn't use it for, say, piano lessons - not enough keys, and the touch is not like a real piano - doesn't have that "weighted" feeling. All in all, though, a very handy little keyboard.

I think it's great for college (if budget provided is enough=]). Juz a personal exp.: i have an uninterrupted sleeping after i used the MediF Pillow, and my thought is much clear (may be due to i have a better sleep XD)

this is NOT the one. I'm a pro musician (bassist and keys) - this is just basically an upscale toy. in other words, you'll get what you pay for... good luck!

I just purchased a C. I don't think it should matter too much unless you have a band you're playing with that has instruments in a certain key. In other words, I think you should know if you need a certain key. If you don't, you're fine.

Most band teachers don't like it however my daughter lives hers. It's a good starter instrument. As the years goes by, you will need to upgrade to something better. My daughter is in the 8th grade and has had this particular clarinet for over a year. I know that when she go to high school, I'll have to get her a much better and expensive one.

As a music teacher, I would respond that this is not really a substitute for a brass instrument. It doesn't respond the same way as brass and will not allow a child student to develop the right breathing and embouchure. I bought mine just for fun, and for that it is perfect. It is very light to carry and well made. Everything works like a real trombone; it just doesn't have the same feel or sound.

For a beginner yes, I believe it is for it has the correct weight and after learning a few chords it plays very well. I just like it for just being able to pick it up and play. When you improve graduate to the next.

Don't think I can be too helpful. I purchased this case as a college graduation case for my son who has Yamaha DGX640. Don't have any idea (nor does he) whether or how this compares to your instrument.

This melodica like all of them are certainly easier for someone with piano or keyboard experience. But, for the price, it would be fine, even for someone with limited piano experience or ability. Hope this helps

I use it for the same reason you're asking about but don't expect optimum sound clarity with this device, I too was a little skeptical at first but it proved that it could handle the type of music I listen to. It will definitely increase your volume/bass/treble but that depends on you. I've tried many different types of computer speakers, high & low-end to boot and ended up returning a set of Bowers and Wilkins MM1's and ended up with the Bose system. If you listen to heavy-bass music, don't waste your time with it unless you have speakers that can handle the output. Yes, same applies to your headphones. I'm using the B&W; P7 and they sound great... IMHO. Hope this helps.

I use it to play jazz and it's pretty good for that. I've also plugged a keyboard into it. I normally plug a humbucker guitar into the -15dB input. Throw a decent compressor or a tube preamp in front and it warms it up a bit but keeps a good clean tone. It's nice because I often play both bass and guitar and can get by with just one amp. The really sturdy closed back cabinet means that it's got some authority. I wouldn't use it for rock, though, as the tone wouldn't be good
