With the LCD display, you can learn both music notation and correct hand positioning, while Casio’s innovative Scoring System evaluates performance so users can track their progress.

With the Key Lighting keyboards, players can also practice with the help of the lighted 61-key piano keyboard making learning both fun and entertaining.

Dance Music Mode: All of these new keyboards now feature the new Dance Music Mode, which divides the piano keyboard into different instrument sections like drums, bass, and more. By playing different combinations of keys, you can instantly remix interesting and exciting dance music. Dance Music Mode offers 50 built-in styles, as well as familiar effects like stutter and filter.

Chordana Play App

The new CTK-2550, CTK-3500 and LK-265 can also connect to Casio’s Chordana Play app – a free music app to further your music education and also to expand your repertoires (for seasoned keyboard players).

The app can automatically play 50 songs, from pop to classical and more, and is expandable through MIDI files that can be downloaded from the internet. As the song plays, the app displays the correct keyboard position for both hands in real time in the piano roll window. Users can also play by touching the virtual keyboard which also offers lesson and scoring functions.

The CTK-2550, CTK-3500 and LK-265 connect directly to the app using a standard 1/8″ stereo cable between an iOS or Android device and the keyboard.

Casio’s Chordana Play app is available for free in the App Store and on Google Play.
