Yamaha EZ300 61 Key Lighting Portable Keyboard

The Yamaha EZ300 61 Key Lighting Portable Keyboard has been designed to keep first-time players inspired for years to come. Boasting 61 touch-sensitive keys, the Yamaha EZ300 offers everything you could want from a beginner keyboard. What really makes the EZ300 stand out are the light-up keys. These lights offer an intuitive way of learning your favourite songs, while also being easy to follow for young children. Learning the keyboard couldn’t be easier with the EZ300! Talking of learning, the built-in popular songs are guaranteed to provide hours of fun. Featuring big titles such as Happy, It’s My Life, and Bad Romance (to name a few), you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how fast you can master your favourite tunes.

The EZ300 key lighting keyboard is fully equipped to start your piano learning journey. To make it as intuitive as possible, each key lights up red at the touch of your fingers. The Fingering Guide shows you the correct finger placement for each note – a fundamental component to building proper hand technique. This natural and effortless method to learn your favourite songs is a fantastic way to get hooked into music. Every time you play, you will see exactly where your hand is, clearly labelling your chord and scale shapes. Once you get familiar with the keyboard, you can turn off this function at any time.

Thanks to Yamaha’s Education Suite (Y.E.S), you can learn and develop in your own time. With the three-step lesson function, you can assign, track, and score tasks as you play. The nine stages are split into left, right, and both handed tasks. This enables you to comfortably develop each hand for melody and chords, before combining them to perform your pieces.

Inside the EZ300, you’ll find a total of 202 songs. These songs vary from pop songs, children’s songs, classics, and many more! You can have fun by playing along with each song, or simply sit back and listen to it being played automatically. You can even connect your EZ300 to your computer to add more of your favourites! Popular songs that you might recognise include Happy, It’s My Life, Viva La Vida, Bad Romance, Shape of You, Duele El Corazon, Titanium, Perfect, Treasure, and Something Just Like This.

With the awesome addition of Yamaha’s Page Turner application (for iPad), you can learn and play along with a choice of 100 scored piano pieces. And get this – the app turns the scored pages automatically, allowing you to focus on playing the music. You can even record audio of you playing and/or singing the music! It doesn’t get much better than this.

The easy-to-use keyboard makes the learning experience as simple as ABC. With a touch-sensitive keyboard system that responds to your style of play, the EZ300 is perfect for an expressive and emotive performance. Integrated with the lesson functions, the keyboard offers you a detailed review of your performance so you can improve your skills. The touch sensitivity on the EZ300 gets your playing closer to a high-end piano.

The EZ300 features a total of 622 high-quality voices. You’ll find everything from keys, synths, guitars, and brass instruments, ensuring you’ll find a voice for every occasion. The EZ300 even includes Yamaha’s special “Live” voices, which consist of recorded samples from a grand piano, strings, and brass. And now thanks to the EZ300’s touch sensitivity, you can control each and every one of these voices with new levels of expressiveness.
