1About the Gini Learning KeyboardThank you for buying the Gini Learning Keyboard™. The Gini Learning Keyboard™ includes songs and games based on the Gini Music Method™ created by renowned pianist Giovanni Marradi. This system uses a simplified notation that makes reading music easier to learn so children can quickly begin mastering songs and exploring musical concepts. The basis for the system are the Gini Avatars—letters, numbers, and avatars which represent each key on the piano. Different colors represent different octaves to allow children to quickly identify where on the keyboard they should focus their attention. You may want to start your child in Standalone Mode, where the Gini Learning Keyboard™ works as a standalone keyboard on which children can explore musical concepts and learn to play the piano. In Free Play, there are a variety of instrument sounds and rhythms which children can use to enhance their enjoyment by creating and even recording music. In Listen, children can hear each of the bundled songs in order to learn the melody and get a sense for how each song should be played. The avatars or letters can light up in this mode in order to show children which keys are being played throughout a song. Finally, in Practice, an innovative LED light system shows children what keys to press to play the same songs they've explored in Listen. Once children have gained confidence by playing a few of the included songs, they can then explore the TV-connected content by playing games in the Adventure Story. These games focus on specific skills and musical concepts that will help your child learn to play piano and explore the wonderful world of music. As children complete games in the Adventure Story, they become available in the Quick Play Menu on the TV so children can improve their skills and master the games. Additionally, the Play a Song and Jam Session sections of TV Mode allow children to explore a variety of songs and even record their own music.
