At the beginning there was a vision. The vision of developing a

key instrument, which instructs students on its own accord.
Already back in 1981, CASIO developed a keyboard with a visual
lesson system. This was the birth hour of lighting guide education. Today, two and a half decades later, we have perfected our
lighting guide instruments. Interactive components and an innovative TV connection for rendering the valuations of the lesson
system via a TV screen or the display, for instance, provide for
continuous motivation and constant learning success.

Beginners and returners will find things easy as pie with a lighting

bank and off you go:

Level 1: Rehearsal of time and tempo

At the first level, the player follows the melody, which is indicated
by the lighting keys. Even if the wrong key is pressed, the right
note will sound. Thus, the player can concentrate fully on the
rhythm.

Level 2: Learning the right key succession

Here the player must play the right key for the melody. Help comes
from the display or the voice fingering guide. The accompaniment
will wait until the right key is hit.
