Were your kids able to actually learn true finger placement on the keys? Were they able to learn to read music on a Staff & know which key it is?

My son is only 2. He only bang on it a few times. I don't like playing on it myself because the keys feel strange and sound weird.

Nancy my son is 19 months now so it's too soon to tell at this stage. I purchased this piano as a starter foe him to get use to touching the keys. The neat thing about this piano is it comes with a song book which indicates the color coated keys which matches the piano keys. This help your child learn simple songs while learning the keys at the same time. It was a great for for us. Hope this answers your question.

Nancy, my grand child is only a yearOld. I bought it in hopes of her enjoyingMusic time and eventually learning piano. I can teach her since I know how to play myself. But it's just for her entertainment!

This piano was for my grandson who is just turning 1. He has loved playing the notes and hearing the diffierent sounds. It is very well constructed and should last a long time. I assume he will learn to play the notes as he matures. For his birthday, I bought him Bongos. Let the music begin.

I don't see an issue with young children using the keyboard. However it may be more difficult for someone to learn to type on this due to lack of feedback from a traditional keyboard.

you can play SIMPLE songs on this piano. Therefore, if you buy books that have songs such as Mary Had A LIttle Lamb etc. These would be songs that you would only play with the right hand (the melody) but not the left hand as there aren't enough keys. I have bought two for my two year old grandson who loves it so much he wore the first one out (after about 8 months of literally continuous use!). If you have a child that is learning to read music, you may want to buy a more extensive, but cheap keyboard.

Definitely! My 2 year old knows exactly which button to push to make it turn on and to push the one next to it exactly 3 times to make it play the soft music.

Yes all keys work & I'm not home right now to test it yet I do believe they can be played simultaneously. It legitimately sounds like a real piano/keyboard.

Yes. I read the instructions and there are two buttons on the back face which allow you to change the key. Orchestral bflat if you wish for instance.

Yes. It does teach numbers and punctuation after the basic a-z keys are learned. This is an awesome program. My boys who are 9 and 10 are typing more than 30 words per minute now.

No, on the one I bought the C key actually played the note B flat. I assume all of them would be tuned slightly different though. Hard to fine tune a cheap toy. BUT IT IS POLYPHONIC!!

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.

The functions on the keyboard do NOT particularly help with learning. They're more like little 'games' - not logical instruction. Still, the keyboard is a great one to learn on, because of the rich sound, assuming some one has a decent learning dvd set.

Yes! No problem. Simply show the child where the switch is located and have him/ her practice.

Yes, I used it to help some of my friends children, ages 6-12, to learn how to play a few song. They enjoyed it.

not that I know of, I am such a beginner. You can get sheet music in the desired key. I have done that when I want my good ole' Bflat instead of something unsingable

My 9 year old son (The owner of the recorder) was able to learn to play by searching for tutorials on Youtube. Once you know where the notes are...then ure good.

I live in CA and both of my kids (Preschool & first grade) both learned caps first - both in a private preschool and in public school. :)

Your answer is yes it is. Its design and depth is definitely for you. May I suggest purchasing finger ease . It will be probably more comfortable if you are persistent in your endeavor to learn

Yes..my kid is a beginner..he played before with the iphone app.. There is a lot of demos and help on youtube that you can search to help him.
