But when a young player has professional tones and a responsive keyboard at their fingertips, the buzz will keep them inspired and keen to progress.

The traditional piano tones are ideal for music learning and practicing. And with further tone settings that suit classical, pop, rock, jazz, and ethnic music, you can perform any style with clarity, confidence, and expression. Arranger and MP3 playback features make practice immersive and fun. While solo practice on a traditional acoustic piano can feel isolating and dull, you'll always look forward to sitting down at the Roland E-X30, thanks its engaging arranger and MP3 audio playback features. Even if you've never performed with other musicians, you'll quickly gain confidence by playing along with favourite songs and creating dynamic, full-band sounds simply by playing melody with the right hand and chords with the left. It's the fun way to boost your sense of rhythm and technique-without the grind of regimented practice. Play ethnic music styles from around the world.

Sounds from Asia, Brazil, and the Middle East are available, and you can store favourite sound and music style combinations for instant recall. There's also a scale tuning feature for performing oriental styles, with the ability to store 12 different custom setups for quick access while performing. Portable design, on-board speakers, and battery operation let you make music anywhere. When you want to pop over to a friend's house for a quick musical jam, the last thing you want is to struggle carrying a bulky, heavy instrument. While an 88-key digital piano typically weighs over 15 kg and takes a lot of effort to transport, the Roland E-X30 sets you free. With its manageable size and portable 6.2 kg weight, it's a breeze to move this keyboard around your home, and equally easy to stow in a car or carry on public transport. And with battery operation and on-board speakers, you have the freedom to get out and entertain at a garden party, perform on the street, or practice in the park.
