The LK45 is a great starter keyboard, and an ideal way to introduce your children to the world of electronic MIDI keyboards.

Children love it, and it makes the learning process very enjoyable.
Learning to Play on the Casio LK45
Apart from engaging the attention of the budding musician, the illuminated keys can be set to guide the performer along with a preset melody. In this way, you can follow the sequence of lights to play the tune - this increases confidence and boosts success rate with new songs. There is a three-step lesson guide and 100 songs built in, so it's a perfect introductory keyboard for kids aged 5-10. As the LK45 has MIDI connectivity, even older kids can use it as a controller keyboard for computer sequencer software, so it remains useful long after they outgrow the built-in sound bank.
