This is what Roland say about the HPI-6:
Practice, Teach, Play!
Piano students and teachers alike will love the new HPi-6, thanks to its grand-piano sound, natural keyboard touch, colour flat-screen display (built into the music rest), and a host of educational tools. For beginners, learning the piano has never been such an enjoyable experience.

- Colour screen built into the music rest
- Twin Piano mode enables teacher and student, parent and child, or a pair of friends to practice and perform together

Expressive Sound, Natural Feel
The HPi-6 offers an impressive lineup of performance features: Gorgeous stereo piano samples, 128-voice polyphony, and a Progressive Hammer Action Keyboard that simulates a real piano feel, with a heavier touch in lower octaves and a lighter in upper register. The Piano Resonance feature causes subtle sound variations when lifting fingers from keys, striking chords, and pressing the damper pedal.
DigiScore
With a colour flat-screen display built into the music rest, players and students can enjoy interactive instruction and notation display onscreen. Roland's famous DigiScore provides a variety of songs, both pre-installed and loadable from USB memory. (The song that you just played can be shown on the DigiScore display too!) Just touch a button and the internal music starts playing on the screen, which displays the score in an easy-to-follow format complete with an onscreen bouncing ball that bounces across the notes as they are played. The music comes alive right before your eyes.
DoReMi & Wonderland
Also built into the HPi-6 is the DoReMi Course, which teaches the fundamentals of pitch, rhythm, note reading, fingering, and the "thumb under" technique. Wonderland is included as well- offering a fun, friendly graphical approach to teaching children about sound and rhythm.
Two Pianos in One
With the Twin Piano function (HPi-6) you can split the keyboard so two players can play simultaneously in the same register. It's an innovative, entertaining way for a teacher and student, parent and child, or a pair of friends to practice and perform together.
