The Axus AXP10 Portable Keyboard is a fantastic starter instrument for anyone looking to get started and learn the piano, without spending a fortune on a first instrument! The 61 box style keys allow the player to receive an accurate, realistic touch experience similar to an acoustic piano. Being an electronic keyboard, the AXP10 also has the added bonus of 255 instrument sounds and 255 backing accompaniment styles, giving you an exceptional variety in the type of music you can create! Also built in to the keyboard is a recording system, which allows you to save your own performances. This is often used by music students, who will log their weekly practice sessions, encouraging them to continue playing and gaining musical skills. You'll also find a range of percussion buttons below the main user screen, providing quick access to some of the most notorious drum sounds to create beats quickly and on the move! On the back of the keyboard is an Audio Input for you to connect your MP3 player and listen to your favourite songs! This is fantastic for anyone who is on the learning journey, as you can play along with your own choice of music and make the most of your practice sessions. The music rest also supplied in the box allows you to clearly position your music books and sheets to get your notes in front of you whilst practicing scales, chords and beginner songs. The keyboard itself is a lightweight unit which can be easily carried around to school and music lessons, making it the perfect choice for younger players who need a starter instrument which can adapt to their own individual requirements.
