Can anyone recommend a keyboard for 6 year old?

[charliecat]

DD1 has quite taken to playing the keyboard through one of those books with coloured notes on it with the keyboard attached.
I would like to get her a real one, easy to play preferably with a easy to play song book. Looked on ebay havent found anything yet.

CC dh insisted on buying her one for her 6th birthday. Her cousin was up during the summer break and now she can (OK, it's now Mozart!) play Twinkle Twinkle all by herself. Can't look now 'cos she's sleeping in there - but did you ever - only because I am - consider getting a piano? XXXX

Not even once did I consider it Carla....you need to get back to the fag free thread! Have barely space for us mortals here BTW let alone a piano!!!!

No, No, No... not once with the prospect of accompanying 30 6 year olds on a coach trip to the Teddy Bears Picnic at 9.00am tomorrow could I possibly conceive that tonight, CC! But thanks anyway

What about something like this from ELC?

Whatever you get, make sure it has a volume button that goes down enough. A friend gave us her child''s old one and it had a virtually useless volume button (2 settings: loud and louder). I was soooo glad when it finally died.

at 6 she's nearly old enough to take this seriously. If you only want to buy one yamaha are good - midi keys allow them to down;aod from the internet. If you just want a toy argos have one here at a good price

this is one she could use if she has proper lessons. It might look a bit complicated to an adult but children seem to master it easily!
