Little Smart DJ Jazz 'n Jam
© 1999 VTech Industries, LLC
Looking for cheap piano lessons? We recommend this 24 key (one note short of two octaves) toy piano. Its keys light up as a child presses them. Features include three tutorials that guide children through the melodies of simple songs, plus 40 voices, four drum sounds, two stereo speakers, a microphone, and the ability to record and play back songs. Weaknesses include a noisy narrator who frequently interrupts, although this is only during one activity. Overall, this is the best keyboard on the market for 2000. (Uses 4 'C' batteries or a DC 9V adapter —not included.)
