Great piano

Posted Feb 5, 2008 - We have too many toys but after reading all those good reviews, we finally decided to get one for our son. He loves music. Besides, I really want my son play real piano later. When our baby was young, we gave him the piano without legs. He likes to pat on the keys and then "eats" them. Later when he tries to stand up, we put on the legs for him to pull himself up. My son LOVES to have it on the "music" setting. He'll push a key and dance to the music as it plays. He quickly learned to flip the pages. There are three play modes which encourage baby to enjoy music, learn basic concepts (alphabet, counting, opposites, etc.), or just play notes and chords on the eight-key keyboard. A plastic songbook (built into the piano) uses numerals on musical notation to teach aspiring musicians the correlation between the sounds they hear, the notes on the page, and the keys on the keyboard. Slides and buttons and dials can be manipulated to adjust tempo, pitch, and style, while a metronome keeps time. Also it has volume controll. There are so many activities. It is stimulating, educational and sturdy with virtually no assembly. I highly recommend this toy.

Baby Grand Piano

Posted 1 year ago - Our baby loves her baby grand piano. This toy has three playing modes including learning mode, music mode, and an imagination mode (where baby can play her own music). The songs are catchy and the piano has many options/toys that make even more sounds. Baby really enjoyed turning the pages. We also love that this toy was off the ground and encouraged baby to pull-up.

Wonderful Toy for Introducing the World of Music to your Child

Posted 1 year ago - Our baby loves this piano, she plays with it many times throughout the day and enjoys pressing on the keys and flipping the pages of the song book. I feel that this is one good way to introduce music into her world without too much fuss. (not annoying like some toys can be), Diiferent modes to play or listen to songs. I like that it also teaches colors and notes, not just songs. The height of the piano is just right for those children who are sitting up but not yet walking. As your child grows and begins to stand and walk, the piano becomes a "stepping stone" where they can raise themselves up to a standing position and still play with all the activities (songbook, piano keys, metronome, etc.). Simply a great toy and I highly recommend it.
