Not much help from me, but here's a couple of web sites for ideas... http://www.practicespot.com/home.php http://pianoteaching.com/myfirst/index.html Maybe some teacher's might jump in with more practical advice. Maybe even post in the Teachers Forum might get some responses. "There is nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself."

She has been playing since she was 4, and it worked well for her then and now. There are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who understand binary numbers, and those who don't.

There are other brands too; friends who owned the Essex had praise for its reasonable price and value. You need to play a few instruments and decide which one sounds the best... ...The ultimate joy in music is the joy of playing the piano...

My parents had a crappy piano and I got a keyboard and played it some. I have both now but almost exclusively play my piano. Wade
