Generally learning vocal music or instruments like violin, flute begins with understanding of sound and reproducing it. For a person who hail from a family with no musical background, it takes a long time to understand sound and its variations. Concepts like sruthi & thala looks very difficult for him and if not properly guided, he may loose confidence in learning music. Traditional methods of teaching music support only those people who have some basic musical gene, and doesn't help others.
The Electronic Keyboard provides opportunity to all categories of people to learn music easily through its simple key arrangements & its technology. The various rhythm patterns available in the keyboard help us to understand thala / timing perfectly. There is no necessity to understand sound, and we can simply learn to place proper fingers on proper keys, in a particular timing. Moreover facilities like 'transpose', 'tuning' etc., available in the keyboard helps to solve the 'sruthi' problems and make learning easy.
Also the various 'tones', 'styles' and 'acmp' available in the keyboard, make learning lively and interesting. 'Metronome' feature helps to get grip in 'thala'. We may sometimes feel like playing in an orchestra, when we use the other features of 'Keyboard'. Features like 'pitch bend', 'modulation', 'portamento' available in the keyboard will help us to get introduced to 'gamakas' in carnatic to some extent. One can start with using these basic features to learn music and he will automatically understand sound in due course.
