There are 5 different sounds that your child will choose from, and theres a built-in microphone that your child can easily grab to sing while playing the piano. Our two year-old and I sat down to play some piano only to find that the top of our Melissa & Doug "Learn-to-Play" Toy Piano wasn't working. Instead of the usual happy "ting-a-ling," it was more of a "clang- clank." This set us off on a three-hour instrument repair adventure!

They set their company up in 1988 in Connecticut, and it has grown to quite a size. They employ over 1000 people these days and have factories in various parts of the world, including China. If you are building for kids, then it needs to be as sturdy as possible. We’ve all been there with children’s stuff that hasn’t been so good. And especially with a piano that stands on legs and has its own bench. It has to be well-made and secure.

You can adjust the volume and encourage your child to use the play and record or karaoke modes for more family fun. The piano features 3 legs that you can fold for convenient storage.

Melissa & Doug Toy Piano

I bought this piano for my 2-year-old daughter for Christmas this year, and I was sorely disappointed. I had never seen one in real life, but I assumed the quality would be fine since I generally like M& D toys. I was wrong. Straight out of the box it wobbles on the ground, the note guide is just a cheap piece of paper that was mounted sideways, and the sound is really tinny. I guess that’s what you get for an inexpensive toy piano, but I was hoping for more. It needs to be able to be managed by little people with small hands. That is where instruments like the Learn-to-Play Classic Grand Piano become important.

The company name is simple and reflects a certain innocence. No flashy corporate presence is required when the aim is to get kids away from computer screens and into music. In 2017, an American private equity firm, AEA Investors, acquired them. With a portfolio that has included over 5000 educational products, this piano is a step towards inspiring young minds. This is an excellent gift for a child who is interested in learning music because it comes with 3 song sheets that feature 6 songs. Once a song starts playing, your child will learn which key to press. The combination of colors and sounds will help enhance your babys mental development.

The keyboard has 25 keys, 2 full octaves and it is an ideal way to introduce musical sounds to young children. The Learn to Play Piano comes with an illustrated songbook so your child can learn nine of their favorite nursery songs. It has a color-coded key chart that will help kids learn how to identify the piano keyboard. The chart will help them to learn and play their favorite songs in a very short period of time.

The overall quality looks very durable, and let’s face it – it has to be! When your child sits and plays this you want to be confident that it won’t break or damage easily. You can tell that the whole piano including the stool is very sturdy, and the keys can of course be hit really hard without any problems.Remember, fixing things with your kids takes always takes extra time. Be patient, take breaks, and make sure they are safe. It's more about the journey and connecting with them as you repair. You may not even get your project completed. Have fun along the way!
