If your lighting keyboard or digital piano has no USB port but has midi in you need to purchase a midi connection kit.

Online music lessons courses utilise free software to play the music lesson software through. These are:

  • The Noteworthy Viewer sheet music free plugin
  • Adobe Acrobat
  • Fingering on VanBasco's Midi Virtual keyboard and midi player.
  • My customised Casio .cm2 step lesson extra song and learning files with the Casio SMF converter software downloadable here

Keyboard Songs in .cm2 for the Lk 70 LK 90 PX 500 and other midi in casio lighiting keyboards are arranged and customised to your level for you to learn as step lessons without confusing your fingers from Casiosongs are wrtten for a skill level of at least 3 years playing , to be played correctly.

Unfortunately this means that beginner pupils not having proper guidance develop in the long term :

  • Problematic fingering techniques
  • Unbalanced " memory " only learning skills
  • Poor rhythmic skills
  • no theoretical understanding
  • Become reliant only the step lesson approach and the limited song material avaailable commercially for that

Whilst without the lighting system I would never attempt online keyboard music lessons, the material which you play through the lights still needs to be " approachable" and leading you towards an all round comprehensive playing technique that will not ultimately restrict you to "only step lesson songs played with no real rhythm "

To properly make acompanimet for songs one needs to learn chord positions, chord fingering patterns , harmony fills and so on. Corectly arrnged beginner material leads the ewy so that when the Approximately Grade 3 to 8 commercial song arrangements are attempted , they come easily and fluently and are played without staggered rhythmics as well as correct fingering

Having said that I still think the Casio Lighting system offers enormous advantages to learning and my hope is that better integration with serioous learning material will be the fuiture of Casio. The same can be said for Yamaha as well as other products.

My hope as I think would be that of most qualified teachers that instead of by passing the basic steps such as 5 finger excercises, rhythmically simple arrangements, Casio, Yamaha and other midi keyboard manufacturers will seriously look at what material teachers DO use and ask themselves the question WHY.

Of course the lure of immediately playing songs one knows is great but then why create "beginner " as well as the "intermediate" commercial versions
