AfterGRCC and most other colleges and universities switchedto online delivery for most classes, we knew that many of the students who were enrolled in group piano classes would be unable to complete the course learning outcomes from home. These students would need access to a digital keyboard that could adequately meet their needs and the outcomes for the piano courses. We chose to purchase six Casio CDP-S150 Digital Pianos because of our pastexperience with other Casio keyboards as well as the price. We had to rely on feedback from Casio and other professionals prior to making ourdecision but once we received the instruments and put them throughtheir paces, the piano faculty agreed that this model had been a greatfitfor us. We are very pleasedwith theease of use, setup and overall action and voicing on the instruments and we would recommend them to otherinstitutions who have a similar need.

Faced with holding choir outdoors in fall 2020, I needed a lightweight, battery-powered keyboard capable of producingplentyof volume to support the rehearsals of my Alma College choirs. The 61 key CASIOTONE keyboard, which is easily carried with one hand, proved to be just what we needed.Only later did I discover that the Casiotone has a class compliant Midi interface. This ‘plug and play’ capability makes it a great choice for music students looking for an affordable keyboard to use with Finale, Sibelius, or Garage Band. I recommend it for all those reasons –and, because with a Casiotone, which can be stored in a closet, set-up instantly on a dorm room desk, and played with earphones, students no longer have any excuse for not practicing!

The Casio Grand Hybrid is a tremendous value within our home. It has a great sound and touch. Fitting the needs of many households, I cannot recommend this keyboard highly enough for students and keyboard enthusiasts.

I am happy to endorse theCasio PX-S1000 as a keyboard and instrument of excellent quality! We recently used thekeyboard for aperformance of a workshop ofmy newest opera,The Secret River, and the sound of theCasio PX-S1000 was authentic and real. I am truly impressed with how far Casio has advanced with the technology and with the production of electronicmusical instruments.

After three years of searching I have settled on the Casio Privia PX-S1000 as my keyboard of choice. I plan to outfit my whole piano lab at school with this sleek, versatile keyboard.

The Casio Privia PX-S1000 feels like a real piano in every way, from its textured “ebonies and ivories” to its depth of expression in the keybed. Fast repeated notes feel like a grand piano. Balancing inner voices under a lyrical melody comes as easily as on a concert instrument.

As a concert artist and passionate music educator, I enthusiastically recommend Casio keyboards to my students and colleagues. Casio has a wide range of portable instruments that offer the sound and feel of a concert grand piano while remaining budget-friendly. Our Casio keyboard has been a lifesaver for outdoor choir rehearsals! The lightweight, sleek design is ideal for storage and easy transport. Casio keyboards are a valuable investment for any music institution.

My Privia (PX-100) has been my stalwart companion through countless productions and gigs. It balances a great feel under my fingers with ease of transport. The on-board sound patches are great, and the keyboard also easily functions as part of my Mainstage set-up for musicals.

The first (and only) keyboard I ever had was a Casio Privia PX-100, and I love it. It may not have all the bells and whistles of the newer models, but weighted keys were a must with me, and this keyboard has a wonderful weighted action and a beautiful sound for an older model. The main thing I enjoy about it is its versatility. I have used it as a MIDI controller, composing tool with Sibelius and Finale, and it has even traveled with me for numerous gigs (sometimes even 12 hours away!). It is easy to transport, yet highly durable. I have had mine now for 14 years, and it still runs like the first day I got it. Highly recommend the Privia series if you want quality at an affordable price point.

During this uncertain time, I am still able to enjoy music making thanks to the Casio keyboard! The weight of the keys and the tone produced are similar to a grand piano which fulfill my urge of practicing on a grand piano. I am also able to try out MIDI recording using the keyboard which is a new discovery for me. Casio keyboard has given me different insights of the possibilities of a keyboard.

I purchased a CGP-700 for my voice studio and have used it in innumerable ways, from accompanying students to instant transposition, and from touring to on-campus concerts. It’s such an authentic piano sound for such an incredible price.

At the PiM Arts High School, We were looking for high quality, study instruments that did not require the regular maintenance traditional pianos required and could be used in a variety of musical situations from classical, jazz, to modern applications. We use these keyboards for practice and performance applications, and the PX-S1000s that now outfit our theory lab have created quick pathways to connecting theory content to musical application. Our students have been thrilled with the hammer-action touch and incredible sound quality of the GP300 Hybrids, and the flexibility of the PX-S3000s and PX5Ss made a great addition to our musical pit orchestra. We couldn’t be more thrilled with our purchase and are looking forward to working with Casio for years to come.

The Performing Institute of Minnesota Arts High School is an arts high school that serves students in the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul area, and is proud to be the first in the nation Casio School.

In this time of remote learning I am both using and recommending Casio keyboards for musical performance and study. I’ve always been very impressed by the Privia line for its sound, feel, portability, value and cost.

I teach collaborative piano and am a vocal coach at the University of Illinois which involves teaching both pianists and the singers. The 88-note weighted action of the Privias have been great for our student pianists who may not have regular access to acoustic grand pianos. The new Casiotones are a convenient, inexpensive, and portable 61 note keyboard. The Casiotones are great for our vocal, class piano, and theory/composition students.

I wholeheartedly recommend Casio instruments to any serious pre-professional and professional musicians needing a quality portable digital piano.
