A poster on here named Cawdor recommended a video game called Fisher Price I can Play Piano. She later posted a video of her son playing a regular keyboard that showed he's doing good. It's out of circulation so you can only buy used on e-bay and around $100.00, so it's a gamble since you're buying used. I got mine. It's real sturdy and it works well.
It's a keyboard. The keys are heavy, I've heard that matters. You get little cartridges with different songs on it. Mine came with four since it was used. Each cartridge has about a dozen songs. The keyboard has colored stickers on the keys. The game has levels you can select. The easiest levels have the colored bannas, or hearts or whatever traveling up a colored verticle line and you have to hit that color key when it's the right time (like guitar hero, i guess. I never played that). The third level they have the colored notes going horizontally across the screen on a sheet of music lines. By then you have played enough games that train you from color to key, then from key to colored note, then to just notes and lines. Like I said, another poster recommended it and it worked well for her son. Me and my kids don't have our results in yet, but we're working on it and it seems to me like it will work. My kid learned to read with Reading eggs so I believe in the video game teaching model.
