Nowadays, guitars are cooler than keyboards and yet many children are more interested in playing things on the keyboards. They love to perform, and what better way to nurture their possible talent than with a great quality children's keyboard. They are fun, easy to use by their small fingers, and affordable for all families. Here are some tips for buying a children's keyboards to help you out on your shopping:
• Choose a keyboard with plenty of features. It's not the time to be Scrooge and say pass to a keyboard that could make your child the happiest in town only because you have to pay some extra dollars. You should know that for your 10 years old kid the price is irrelevant, so you should care more about his joy of experimenting and learning than about discounts.
• The brand counts. If you want your child to learn playing the keyboards on the best feature-rich, sounding, value-for-money electronic keyboard, you should purchase a Yamaha or a Casio. If you don't expect your child to pay like a pro someday, buy him a Korg, a M-Audio or a Roland.
• Be very attentive with the number of keys. You should know that more keys on the instrument means more room for playing, so pick a keyboard with 49 keys (4 octaves) if you don't have too much space at home or one with 61 keys (5 octaves) if space is not an issue.
• The type of keys plays a major part in motivating your child to play keyboards. A keyboard with thin plastic keys will be very easy to play but less durable.
• Make sure the keyboard you want to buy has a wide array of sounds, including real world acoustic and electric sounds, synthetic sounds, and sound effects. It doesn't matter if you think some acoustic sounds are dubious, your kid will love them and he will have fun with the synth sound effects.
• Buy a keyboard that has a sustain pedal that is necessary for holding the sound of played notes. Not all home keyboards have it, so be careful.
• Don't neglect the importance of polyphony values. For your child, a 32 is more than decent as it's enough to avoid the notes being cut off and play more detailed accompaniments.
• Auto-accompaniment is also important. You should buy a keyboard that has automatic accompaniment for drums, bass, guitar, patterns for song intros, outros, bridge, verse, chorus, and that will allow your kid to record his own accompaniments. You should also know that this type of auto-accompaniment is more expensive.
• Be certain the keyboard comes with drum pads just above the keys; they will increase the fun when playing or sequencing rhythm.
• Last but not least, choose a keyboard that has built in Interactive Learning, a system that will teach your kid how to play notes and chords. It's definitely very expensive, but you should look at the bright side: you won't have to pay a teacher to show him the basics.
