Would this work for a computer literate 9-year-old who just needs a way to write down the scores for songs he composes on the keyboard?

Anyone should be able to use this software. It would be a great help if you are able to read music.

cautiously, I would respond yes. if he has patience, I believe he'll be able to enjoy finale.

Yes, it would be great. There is a 30-day free, trial version that he can download. At the end of that time, he should know whether or not he likes it. That's what I did, and after the trial period I was hooked.

I believe it will be. I use it for notation on my iPad sheet music during music rehearsal and it works well. It takes some getting used to as you must look through the foot of the stylus while you write.

Yes. I Play Advanced Music And The Keyboard Does Well. I Am Very Happy With It.

Yes if they prefer keyboard...it is easy to assemble... just snap it on phone like a case, turn on & enable in 'settings'.

Hello Paul. I was requested to provide you with an answer; however, actually I haven't yet used the software. Also, I do not input music using keyboards, but rather directly through the sequencer "step mode". Apologies for not being able to help, but I had to at least respond to the request. Good luck anyway.

I wouldn't feel qualified to answer that because I don't know your child. I'd recommend that you speak with you child's teacher who is familiar with your child's abilities and needs. If you are a home schooler, you could certainly order the software, teach yourself to use it (which is fun and useful anyway), then just try it with your child. If he has no speech or hearing impairment, I would predict that he would pick it up just fine if he's interested.

I asked my 15 year old, whom is good with music, He said the keyboard is good better than a cheap sound.but not as good as a professional unit, And the system can create about 500 different sounds piano, drums, most instruments.

I am enjoying the EZ220MM with the lighted keys, but the PSR-E433 offers a longer keyboard, stylish arrangement of accompaniment buttons, larger variation of accompaniment music and would probably hold interest of all ages for a longer period of time. I could see where the lighted keys would become the focal point, rather than the actual music note for small children and for quite a little while. Actually, for longevity and the age spans, I would recommend the PSR-E433. Whichever you choose; have loads of fun learning and playing.

no it is not,its good for paper and pencils. A keyboard would fit but unhandy.

I'm gonna say YES. However, keep in mind that the keyboard is smaller than it looks (10" x 3.5" approx.); and second, it take some practice to get use to it, specially because the lack of feedback.

Yes is would work fine for that. You can turn the volume down so low that it is not annoying to anyone else and it would just play and play. I love that you can download the music you want just like any iPod. You can have different folders for different types of music. I have not been sorry we bought this. It is my grandsons favorite thing. It is built well and stands up to being carried around, dropped on the floor, and having water splashed on it. (don't put it in the tub but it can handle spills and such)

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.

This keyboard is really small. It is really more for just playing around with versus trying to actually learn to play. You can play some songs on it though.

Yes. Use it for recording while your child writes his or her site words, multiplication tables, etc.

I'm not sure.... I purchased for my son and he wouldn't okay that type music. I do know that he has really enjoyed it and it's just what he wanted to play the kind of music he plays. He's been very happy with the keyboard and the sound.

I'd like to help you, but this was a gift for our granddaughter in another city; I just know that it included the keyboard, which was scaled well for small hands, the software, a DVD (I think), and a power supply when we bought it. It was the "gift of the year" at Christmas, and our granddaughter is still learning music using it.

Works nicely with google docs for a word type program. If you need a keyboard try a stand alone bluetooth keyboard they work well for more like computer grade typing
