Introduction
Thank you for buying the Gini Learning Keyboard™. The Gini Learning
Keyboard™ includes songs and games based on the Gini Method created
by renowned pianist Giovanni Marradi. This system uses a simplified
notation to make reading music easier to learn so that 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 our
innovative in-key light system not only shows the notes that a child should
play for a song, but also shows which note is coming up so that children
have time to prepare and position their hands properly to play a song.
Once children gain confidence by playing a few of the included songs,
they can begin to explore the TV-connected content by unlocking games
in the Adventure Story. These games focus on specific skills and musical
concepts that will help your child learn to play piano and to explore the
wonderful world of music.
