before using your Gini Learning Keyboard™.

About the Gini Learning Keyboard

Thank 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.
