Thank you to Casio for providing me with product, free of charge, for review. All opinions are my own.
I feel that music is such an important part of life. It can be a great tool for relaxation and enjoyment or a way to share fear or grief. I’ve even read that music can be a mood booster and can help the brain retain information. Because of all the benefits that I believe music offers, our kids take lessons. Our oldest is 9 and she takes piano and violin lessons. Our son is 7 and he takes piano and we are on the search for a guitar teacher for him as well. Our other two children are currently (almost) 4 and 2 so they have not yet started anything but we do plan on getting them going with piano lessons by about 4 1/2. Then, once they get the hang of that first instrument and have learned to read music, they can choose a second instrument if they’d like and we will strive to find them a teacher. Since I feel music is so important, I was thrilled to partner with Casio, who is well-known for their quality products.
I was sent the Casio CTK-24oo Digital Keyboard for review. This Keyboard has a variety of features including:
~Built In Microphone
~150 Rhythms
~Step Up Learning System
~110 Pre-programmed Songs
~Sound EFX Sampler
~Metronome
~61 Keys
~AC Adapter Or Battery Powered
~Auto Shut Off
The portability that the Casio CTK-2400 Digital Keyboard offers will be great for the upcoming holidays because the kids love to perform for family but nobody else has a piano. The only thing I can think of that would be a nice improvement would be to have a solid back music stand/holder as opposed to the single rod because some pieces of music and books are not sturdy enough to stay standing nicely on it. A more supportive stand would solve that problem without adding too much bulk to this unit.
We have been having a great time exploring all that the Casio CTK-2400 has to offer. The kids love hearing the different sounds that can be made as well as listening to the pre-programmed songs. We are still experimenting with all it has to offer but I really like the metronome feature as it keeps our older two kids at the same tempo throughout an entire song when they play. The CTK-2400 delivers a great sound for the compact design and the adapter makes it perfect so we’re not always replacing batteries.
The kids have also really been enjoying the Long-Sampling and Short-Sampling modes too. They especially love using the Short-Sampling Mode to record noises/sounds and then have them sound back as they play afterwards. Below, you can hear some of our son’s creations. He has a mixture of barking, mooing, and meowing going on using the Short-Sampling Mode.
