Casio, a global leader in electronic musical instruments, today announced a strategic partnership with Luminary ROLI Limited, the UK-based music technology innovator known for reimagining how people learn, create, and experience music.
The collaboration launches with ROLI Learn for CASIO, an interactive music-learning platform that helps beginners quickly experience the rewards of making real music.
Available beginning today in the U.S., Germany, France, the U.K., and Japan for iOS and Android devices, the app provides compatible Casio keyboard users with access to the award-winning ROLI Learn platform via a connected learning ecosystem focused on creativity, engagement, and self-expression.
Built on the idea that modern musicians learn differently than previous generations, ROLI Learn for CASIO combines licensed music, interactive lessons, and gamified progression to help first-time players start making music immediately. Compatible Casio instruments include Privia PX-S series, CDP-S360, and select Casiotone and CELVIANO models when paired with the WU-BT10 Bluetooth® MIDI & Audio Adapter, with additional models planned for the future.
The platform includes:
- More than 1,200 songs from an expanding licensed music library, with 50 Casio exclusives
- 300+ interactive video lessons with four expert instructors
- 450+ chord and scale exercises
- Multiple learning modes progressing from gamified play to traditional notation
- Progressive lessons that guide players toward music-reading skills
“The future of music products is in the connected experience, adapting to where you are in your journey and keeping you inspired to learn, create, and play,” said Brian Piccolo, Senior General Manager for Casio’s Sound and Innovation Division. “Today’s musicians want to start playing recognizable music quickly, interact visually with technology, and feel creatively rewarded from the very beginning. Our collaboration with ROLI enables Casio to deliver a music-making experience that feels modern, approachable, personalized, and inspiring.”
“Having grown up with Casio products since childhood, what truly inspires me about Casio is how it has invented amazing new technologies and devices and then turned them into beautifully designed products that get more and more accessible over time,” said Roland Lamb, founder of ROLI. “I am delighted to collaborate with Casio, a company that has consistently created new musical cultures and lifestyles.”
Casio views the collaboration as part of a broader effort to encourage long-term musical engagement among beginner players by making music learning more accessible, motivating, and creatively rewarding.
