Goal
I would like to update the electric keyboard in the Avalon music room with a keyboard that has many new functions and capabilities. The current keyboard is 20 years old and is starting to hesitate when I use it.
What will be done with my students
During each school year I use the keyboard to demonstrate different styles, genres and particular timbres, sounds, of instruments.
The Kindergarten and 1st graders get to take turns playing the "real" piano and an electric keyboard as they study melodies moving upward and downward.
Older students choose different sounds of instruments, rhythm accompaniments and sounds from different genres to create their own favorite style.
My piano students enjoy getting a different sound when they play.
Benefits to my students
While a "real" piano is wonderful, and electric keyboard introduces the students to a whole new world of creative possibilities. Recording our voices with the keyboard sound is just one of the new features available on this particular model.
I usually use a keyboard to perform several songs on our school performances. It's fun to create our own sound to use as an accompaniment.
I'm looking forward to letting the students help decide what accompaniment they would like for this year's school song!
Budget Narrative
If I order from "Musician's Friend" there should be free ground delivery.
