Sure it can seem hard at first but there is no denying playing an keyboard is fun. Once you get better at it, opportunities will arise for you to share your newly learned skill with your family and friends. Now that's cool! Research has shown that both listening to music and playing a musical instrument stimulate your brain and can increase your memory.
Participation in music therapy has benefits in itself but can also help reestablish patients' ongoing use of music as a health-promoting resource and coping strategy in their lives.

Critchett Piano Company was founded in 1922 by Bert Critchett, was first located at 1409 Forest Avenue in Des Moines, Iowa. In 1971, grandson Dave Brown and his mother, Lois Critchett Brown, bought the company. Dave, Bert's grandson, became sole owner when his mother died 7 years later. Over the years since, Critchett's has expanded with additional locations in Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska, Missouri and Idaho. In 2009, the company was renamed to Critchett Lowrey Organ Centers when the piano lines were sold to focus exclusively on Lowrey Organs.
We at Critchett's strongly believe learning to make music should be a fun, easy, and stress-free experience. Our talented instructors are passionate about music, and even more passionate about making it fun and easy to play. We don't feel that you must strictly follow all of the traditional rules - hand positioning, proper fingering, scales, etc. - to enjoy the hobby of making music.

I would not waste my time calling this company regarding looking at an organ. They are ridiculously expensive and all they want is a new sale of yet another organ rather than looking at an organ that just needs someone to look at it. Don't waste your time with this company because i almost through out an expensive organ that just needed an organ person to look at it.

They see the elderly coming a mile away. They serve them meals and do concerts to get them in the door, then hammer down on them to buy organs. They finance them for auto pay then do not return calls when your parent has had a stroke and you need to sell it because they really can't afford it any longer because your parent has to go to a home. Not pleased what so ever
