Roland E-X20 Arranger Keyboard, 61 Keys, Black

The Portable Keyboard That Sparks Your Child's Passion for Music Music is the greatest gift you can give your child. Whether you're passing on your passion - or giving them an opportunity you never had - encouraging your son or daughter to learn keyboards will give them a hobby for life, a sociable skill that opens doors, and maybe even a career. But it's natural to have concerns. After all, some keyboards can be expensive, bulky and uninspiring, taking up valuable space and abandoned when your child loses interest. Created by the Roland brand that is acclaimed by professionals around the world for its reliability, quality and expression, the E-X20 is the ideal first step for any aspirational family. This modern home keyboard addresses the drawbacks of most rival models, offering a budget-conscious price, space-saving cabinet and highly portable 5 kg weight. The E-X20's high-quality piano sounds are ideal for music lessons - where traditional tones are always required - but this model also offers alternative on-board sounds for when your child want to get creative. Even solo practice is inspiring on the E-X20, thanks to the built-in Arranger feature that lets kids play along with full musical accompaniment, getting them ready for their first band or orchestra.

Pro on-board piano tones keep them inspired and improving There's nothing more discouraging for a first-time pianist than flat tone and lifeless feel. On the other hand, when a young player has professional tones and a responsive keyboard at their fingertips, the buzz will keep them inspired and keen to progress.

Roland's renowned electronic instruments include digital stage pianos, synths and electronic drums, and the range has won acclaim from musicians at every level of the industry, from beginner to professional. Since 1972, our mission has been to help musicians enrich their lives with music - and when you find the Roland logo on the E-X20, you can rest assured that it's the mark of quality, expressiveness, creativity and durability. No more boring practice sessions - play along with on-board songs The biggest concern for any parent choosing a first-time piano is that their child will get bored and go back to their smartphone or video games. While solo practice on a traditional acoustic piano can feel isolated and dull, your children will always look forward to sitting down at the Roland E-X20, thanks to the possibilities of the Arranger feature. Even if your child has never performed with other musicians, they'll soon have the confidence to play along with the selection of on-board songs and TV themes, or create dynamic full-band sounds simply by playing melody with the right hand and chords with the left. It's the fun way to boost your child's rhythm and technique - without the grind of regimented practice. Make music anywhere with portable 5 kg weight, on-board speakers and battery operation Full-size pianos can spell frustration. Maybe you want to listen to your child's latest song in the living room, but you're busy making dinner in the kitchen. Perhaps your child wants to jam at a musical friend's house, but you're struggling to carry their instrument down to the car. While an 88-key digital piano typically weighs over 15 kg - and takes effort to transport - the Roland E-X20 sets you free. With its manageable size and portable 5 kg weight, it's a breeze for kids to move this keyboard around your home, and equally easy to stow it in a car or carry it on publi
