This is the only video I have found that attempts to go into the “learn to play” mode that breaks songs into “steps” (phrases). Even the sales professionals show only the lighted keys with the listening-timing-waiting feature the limit to their presentation. Thanks. I suggest that you consider doing another video sometime when you get the chance - would like to see your progress. UPDATE clarification: I do read the grand staff, having learned decades ago. Most of my practice is on one or another of my digital pianos with weighted keys. Conventional and some sort of electronic learning make a good combination. I had the Yamaha Song Book printed and bound, and have done some of the more advanced lessons, using the notation and not the lights. It is a decent way to augment conventional learning (although it would be better if the “applause” could be made to be quiet.)
Thanks for the comment. I handed the keyboard over to my niece. I noticed when I asked her to play something on it she ran out of batteries and hadn't turned it on in awhile. Def would recommend everyone get the power supply that is sold separately. Will get an update video out soon.
@@TheHaggisBasher From what I have experienced you can import custom Midis and the keys do light up but only on the play mode. I tested the "wait" mode for learning and it did not work, although the manual suggests it's possible. It might have to do with the format or channels of the file, and I am not a tech savvy enough person to really understand all that well. Maybe you could try checking on dedicated forums, you're sure to find an answer or at least ask!
Thanks for the comment. Gave it away to my niece. I don't think it's worth keeping just for the light up keys. Learning to read by music would be my recommendation.
Do precisely what she does in this video if you never want to learn how to play the keyboard properly. Everyone else should simply follow the user manual instructions and read their notes from the free to download and print music sheet.
@@THESOUNDLINKThat was the first thing I did, and there was one very specific reason I purchased the EZ-300 in the first place: the embedded learning system.
I have to say people really should learn to play by reading music. I taught myself using this type of method for I don't know how many songs, and after some time away from playing, I ended up forgetting them all. That really felt like a waste of time! I'm sure the muscle memories are in me somewhere, but it's getting them back in order that's tough 😒
Thanks for the comment! Haha yes I am sure the muscle memories are there somewhere but I am sure your experience has happened to many other including myself.
@THESOUNDLINK it works if u know the basics and want to learn a song quick. U essentially get sight to confirm what your ear is hearing. Then turn the lights off
Thumbs up! Thanks for showing someone simply using the product. Too many reviews don't show the complete process of "using the product"!
Thanks for the comment! Did you end up buying one?
I got an EZ 300, it’s my first keyboard. I love it, it looks really nice and it works great, I plug my iPad in and jam with simplypiano 😎
Nice it really is a well built keyboard :-)

This was great. Just what I wanted to know about this product.
Thanks Jack!! Did you end up buying the product?
It has a manual and teaching song learning guide that's over 600 pages you can download too :D
Thanks Mr. Guitar!
U ROCK🎸🎹 🤗👌
Good vid! Hows the screen? Looks like its too small to spot the chords shown? Please let me know
Thanks for the question. I think the screen is big enough for being portable any bigger would make the keyboard heavy. I was able to see the chords.
i also wondering how the teaching feature works and is the lighted keyboard the best way to learn how to play for a beginner. Thank you
It is a great tool to learn!
does this have a mode where the song stops until you hit the correct key?
oh and can you also upload midis like synthesia?
The lessons mode has one where the song waits until you hit the right key to continue, and pressing the wrong keys does not interrupt it.
@@JohnnyLeyenda awesome thats exactly what I need, can you upload custom midis to it to learn?

Great questions!!
@@JohnnyLeyenda thank you so much for answering as I did not delve into those modes yet.
Great video, though rather clickbaity title. Having the paper songbook in front of you helps, I think. How far have you come in the past few months?
Thanks for the comment. Gave it away to my niece. I don't think it's worth keeping just for the light up keys. Learning to read by music would be my recommendation.
Hello which keyboard would you recommend for beginner and using apps... The ONE 61 keyboard OR Yamaha ez 300???
The Yamaha ez300 - which keyboard did you go with?
Good
Thanks
Do precisely what she does in this video if you never want to learn how to play the keyboard properly. Everyone else should simply follow the user manual instructions and read their notes from the free to download and print music sheet.
Would love to watch a video of you reading the user manual! Thank for the feedback.

I don't understand your title.
Learning to play keys by light up keys may seem easy (As in the title and name of the EZ Keyboard) but does it really stick? Is it a gimmick?

Gimmick!
Totally!!! hahah
Hopeless !
LOL
