RockJam RJ361 61 Key Compact Keyboard Piano for Beginners

This review is for the: Rockjam RockJam RJ361 61 Key Keyboard Piano with Sheet Music Stand Piano Note Sticker Power Supply and Simply Piano Application. My wonderful daughter gave me an Amazon gift card 😍 for fathers day. Knowing I'm extremely difficult to buy for. I decided that having a great deal of time on my hands with Lockdown, I would try and teach myself a new skill. Having had a little experience at School with music lessons, I know I have quite a good ear for music. However, little did I know that my Father's day present 🎁 would be pulled from my very hands by "she who must be obeyed ". After the initial excitement of getting it, and getting me to play some simple tunes I remembered from school, I came down one morning to find her sat in front of the keyboard, headphones 🎧 on, and self teaching herself how to play. Initially just following some guidance on YouTube, she was soon playing some easily identifiable tunes. Bank onto Amazon I purchased a number of various piano 🎹 books for beginners. Also some key stickers to make it easier for her to follow the lessons. Currently, if you purchase the keyboard on Amazon you get 3 months subscription to Skoove (remember to click to add this (free) to your order. I can honestly say, it has been a sheer pleasure to watch the smile 😃 on her face when she masters another tune. She is currently mastering "bohemian rhapsody". I personally believe by Christmas 🎄 she will be playing 🎶 like a natural. Despite this being meant as a Fathers Day gift, seeing the pleasure she gets, is actually a gift in itself. The keyboard is the 61 key version, has a nice LCD display with numerous features like various other instruments and melodies she can select. I am now continually called into the conservatory and asked if I can recognise the tune she is playing. An absolute ideal gift for anyone from a child to adult, giving hours of enjoyment. The Rockjam keyboard seems to get the very best reviews, apart from the keyboards that you would need to spend hundreds of pounds to get. At £49.99 this is an excellent keyboard. Especially if you want to see if you enjoy it before purchasing a much more expensive one. In my opinion it has everything a beginner needs in a keyboard to learn and practice. It would be ideal for, say a child who is taking music lessons at school and needs to practice at home. It has a 3.5 headphones 🎧 jack allowing you to practice without annoying anyone else. In summary an Excellent Father's Day gift 🎁. I hope you found this review useful 👍

This is a great product! My daughter (almost 8) loves it and practices playing piano after all her lessons. Great number of keys (61) and the screen display works perfectly. Thankfully there are 9 sound/volume levels. 1 is perfect when playing. Great option to connect your headphones too so you can practice quietly by yourself. The stand is ok, sometimes the piano books (A4) fall off but the stand may be for a smaller sized document/book. This isn't an issue but happy overall. The keyboard piano also comes with key note stickers to tell you what keys are what which are handy if you are a beginner. Lots of modes and music to play too and can be used to practice lots of styles of music. Size is suitable for a child or adult. Little bit heavy but really a quality product! I did request a new screen display sticker and whom I spoke to at Rock Jam sent it out first class the same day and arrived the next morning. My daughter was so happy. So thank you RockJam. Would definitely recommend this product!!

Pros and cons: Pros 1. It’s super cheap 2. It comes with stickers for the keys 3. It comes with a music stand 3. It has a power adaptor 4. You can play with headphones and not annoy anyone 5. It has a record function 6. It has tones and beats that can be selected 7. It’s lightweight 8. You can plug in a microphone or MP3 player 9. The keys are say to depress 10. It’s perfect for a beginner to play around on. 11. Super loud speakers 12. For kids just starting or for mucking about on its brilliant 13. The perfect price - if you decide you don’t want to play piano - £40 is not a great loss. Cons : 1. The build quality is garbage (but for the price it’s fair enough) 2. It’s not full size keys (they are pretty narrow) 3. The app is very good but you only get 1 month free - then it’s £85 a year 4. It’s got a horrible lag between selecting a tone and it actually changing 5. The keys aren’t truly silent when pressed, so it’s not noise free with headphones on 6. All the tones are terrible and nearly all of them sound the same 7. The free key stickers are not very good (but better than nothing) 8. When used with batteries they run out in hours so it’s not good value when using batteries 9. The power cable is very, very, very short! You can’t sit far from a wall socket 10. The volume controls are handy but the lowest setting is pretty loud so it’s hard on the ears

OK so I'm 27.. And I'm going through a phase of wanting to learn piano/ keyboard OK :D Saw this cheap and cheerful keyboard on amazon, watched a few videos on YouTube first to see what it was like and read reviews on amazon so I went ahead and clicked buy now! I also had a voucher sooo I had nothing to lose ha. I ordered at about 11pm and the keyboard arrived next day! Love Optimus prime.. I mean amazon prime! OK jokes aside... Yeah its a little a cheap and nasty, but it's £40 people, if you want better than you'll have to pay alot more, but as I am a complete beginner with no experience or know how to read music, this was a good buy for me until I decide I want to upgrade to a better one? Maybe. You can download a free app called Simply Piano and is perfect for beginners! It even listens to you playing to make sure you are playing the correct notes! HOW COOL IS THAT!. Anyway after 2 days playing this thing and already learnt the basics keys/notes to play with my right hand I also now how to play about 3 songs already! I love it! So much that iv even recorded myself playing it and uploaded it to YouTube!. It's a good buy, great for beginners. Thanks for reading.

If you're looking for a Steinway, this may not meet your expectations. But for 60 quid its fine......so far. Just unboxed it. Checking it over before I give it to the Grandson. I don't expect it to last forever. But what does? Negatives; keys are slightly undersized but would a kid notice? Its a bit of a tinny sound but no worse than I would expect. Again would a kid notice? Buttons are a bit soft and spongey but so is everything these days! I reckon its well worth the money. If a kid is used to a reasonably decent piano, it may not satisfy. But otherwise good for a bit of practice. No headphones although dedicated socket and clear instructions as to jack size. Very annoyed with delivery service. Bloke came a day early and because we were out, idiot left it on the doorstep in full view of the street.

Wife and kids now love the keyboard, bought it to get away from just watching videos on screens passively. We t was a little bit bigger then I expected but the trade off between the better keyboard vs the fewer keys model was defiantly worth it. Great for total beginners just getting used to taping keys trying to get the order right. Having the stickers was such a vital thing in the box it’s huge help to total novices know where the keys are and what the notes look like. Came with the right uk power adaptor as expected. The only negative so far is the default volume at power on is full and always needs volume turning down before doing anything else. The simplypiano off doesn’t seem to do a great deal it seems to be very little off. But it is one of the best apps wife loves it so far and it practicing an hour a day so total winner. Great purchase for total novices but you do need some dedicated space large enough to place it properly, just measure before ordering. We haven’t even looked at the options just leaning the first basics still a few weeks in.

Definitely good size and first option for beginners, however the sound quality was horrible on mine, wearing headphones can fix it, but if you wanna show off, there are probably better ones. Overall not a bad purchase considering it is only 50 quid, could be better though.

Very nice entry-level keyboard piano to start your piano learning adventure, for the price it costed, it exceeded my expectations and arrived super-fast! Their customer support team is great as well, responded within a couple hours to help me solve the issue I had (something very minor), all in all, would definitely recommend ;)

Fue un regalo de navidad para nuestra hija y quedamos encantados, tanto nosotros como ella, parece de buena calidad. Para el precio que tiene está excelente.

突然ピアノをやってみたくなって衝動買いしました。値段も機能も試しに買うには丁度良いキーボードでした。 デフォルトの音量がかなり大きく、音量の調節レベルを毎回1に下げるのがちょっと面倒、そしてレベル1でもかなり大きいので、スピーカーに養生テープを貼ったら迷惑にならない程度の丁度のいい音量になりました。 機能は他にもあるようですが、まだ使いこなせそうにありません。。おすすめアプリもとても良い出来ですが、無料までで出来る範囲が少なすぎるのがとても残念。YOUTUBE見ながら練習しようと思います！

I love the sound and overall quality of the product. Perfect value for money. Its size is also good not a small one. Good for adult beginners.

My son absolutely loves it:)

They sent the used piece and C and E keys are sticking and some keys having wired sound.
