Practice, Teach & Play Along with Christopher Norton’s music on the New Roland Digital Piano!

(May 2006)

Exclusive MIDI files and interactive teaching software guide the student from beginner to advanced with Christopher Norton’s best-loved pieces.



Piano students and teachers alike will love the new Roland HPi-6, thanks to its grand-piano sound, natural keyboard touch, colour flat-screen display (built into the music rest), and a host of educational tools. For beginners, learning the piano has never been such an enjoyable experience.

The HPi-6 offers an impressive line-up of performance features: Gorgeous stereo piano samples, 128-voice polyphony, and a Progressive Hammer Action Keyboard that simulates a real piano feel, with a heavier touch in lower octaves and a lighter in upper register. The Piano Resonance feature causes subtle sound variations when lifting fingers from keys, striking chords, and pressing the damper pedal.

What really sets the piano apart, though, are 50 exclusive MIDI files of Christopher Norton’s pieces, so that you can play along with Chris’s own performances.

With a full-colour, flat-screen display built into the music rest, players and students can enjoy interactive instruction and notation display onscreen. Just touch a button and the internal music starts playing on the screen, which displays the score in an easy-to-follow format—complete with an onscreen bouncing ball that bounces across the notes as they are played.
