The Interactive Audio Tutor Keyboard

With an audio tutorial and easy-to-follow musical games, this keyboard acts like a digital piano teacher for beginners by blending open-ended play with active instruction. The tutorial prompts burgeoning Mozarts with 32 color-coded, light-up keys and simple instructions to play seven games that lead to a deeper understanding of music and keyboards. "Find the Note" encourages children to match the correct key to a specific note, while other games teach the names of notes, or how identical colors match identical notes in octaves. Free play gives children time to play with the seven background rhythms (such as waltz, samba, and blues), or to play seven songs (including Happy Birthday and Oh! Susanna) either by following the color-keyed "sheet music" or by playing along in automatic mode. Piano sounds can be set to six other tonal qualities such as trumpet, guitar or violin, and up to 24 notes can be recorded and played back. Comes with an adjustable stool and a microphone for singing along. Requires three C batteries. Ages 3 to 6. Made in Italy. 20" H x 21" W x 8" D. (7 1/2 lbs.)
