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 :)

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.

There is no reason a child cannot use this keyboard to start his piano lessons. Good for age 4 and up! Great strike and good sound quality. My grandson would be practicing on this if his parents had supported his interests. No excuse for lazy parents! If your kid has a good ear and loves music and wants to play the piano, then get with the program!

I bought this for my nephew and he loved it. For the price it does a lot and the sound isn't bad, especially for kids. The tutorials are very good, if you can get a 6 year old to sit for them! Would recommend it. He has fun with it and 'jamming' with his brother and uncles. Cord is a bit short-nothing an extension cord can't fix.

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.

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.

We bought this as a gift for our grandson to encourage him to take an interest in music at an early age. Music & Arts are so important for a child that we felt this would be a great starter piano for him. When it arrived, my husband tried it out. It's not a toy, yet not quite an actual piano, but it's very nice for the money. My husband said he wanted one (lol). Great value for the price. We're impressed.
