We bought my 12 yr old son a lightup keyboard about 4 yrs ago, and we always say it's one of the best presents he has had! it was a casio! you don't have to have the lights on! just seen the comments above, i disagree the lights are very good, and my son also took keyboard lessons! But he has taught himself a lot too, it's amazing what he can play without lights, that the lights taught him!

It really depends on how much you want to spend and how serious you think your child is about it. You can go cheap and get a keyboard that is not full size and has no high tech gizmoes, or you can get a full 88 keys with all the gadgets. I have a Yamaha that I adore. It cost me $800 with the stand, a bench, and a sustain pedal.
No matter what you choose, I would get one with a headphone jack so he/she can bang away on it without waking up the neighborhood.
I would say that the light up ones are a waste of money because the "monkey see, monkey do" method of learning is not sufficient. You need to have your child learn to read music, not stare and follow lights on the keyboard. Otherwise, he will never REALLY be able to play music.

I have a Yamaha psr-170 and so dose my school. it has lessons and i got instructions and a song book with it the songs are saved onto the keyboard. there isn't light up keys. Try going to your local keyboard shop for details and ask if they know anyone who does lessons or ask your school.

probly a less expensive one on a stand because its hard to play on the floor plus buy them a learning kit with like a CD thats they can play help them learn also there are keyboards with a progam built in that will teach you notes keys and how to play songs its not inexpensive but its very neat
