In regards to kids pumping the class piano -- they love to!  Both the
boys and girls get into it and with childhood obesity on the rise
and ADHD kids it is a great to have in the classroom.  Depending on
the weather, though, sometimes it is hard to pump, and I thought an
electric pump would be useful if I were to be directing some singing.

I actually like this small piano when I accompany the kids because
I can see over it and keep my eyes on everyone, unlike the upright
I also have in the classroom.
