The Casio Casiotone LK-S250 portable keyboard makes learning to play your favorite tunes easier than ever with a Key Lighting System that illuminates the way and show you what note to play next. The Step-Up Lesson Mode with 60 songs and exercises lets you control how quickly you move through the levels so you can enjoy learning at your own pace, from the comfort of your home.

The LK-S250 features 61 full-size keys with touch sensitivity that adds rich expression to each note you play. It offers 400 acoustic and synthesized instrument sounds including electric pianos, organs, strings, synths, drum kits—and of course a Concert Grand piano. There are 77 auto-accompaniment styles with a backing band that can play a variety of musical genres from around the world, such as pop, jazz, R&B, rock, dance, Latin, and world music to name a few. The incredibly fun and easy-to-use Dance Music mode adds 12 dance patterns that let you quickly perform EDM tracks. Select a style and use the keys to trigger drum loops, basslines, synth parts, effects, transitions, and more.

The built-in speakers are great for sharing your music with friends. Plug in headphones for quiet play at any time. The 3.5mm aux input enables you to connect your phone/tablet or music player and play along with your favorite songs, while the 1/4" microphone input (with gain control) lets you connect a mic for singing along.

USB MIDI enables the keyboard to control other instruments or to connect it to your computer. Plus, you can download the free Chordana App on your iOS or Android smartphone/tablet to learn any MIDI file while viewing traditional notation, a special visual piano display, or both.

A tablet-ready music rest and an AC adapter are included, but the keyboard can also run on six AA batteries (available separately). Just grab the built-in carrying handle and take your inspiration to go.
