Holiday music is in the air, and many people will be creating their own using a Roland instrument. Roland keyboards and synths are used by professsional, amateur, and beginner musicians around the globe. You probably didn’t even know you could buy them at Best Buy. You can! And someone will win a brand new Roland FP-10 88 Key Weighted Action Digital Piano in this contest—just in time to play Jingle Bells with all in your social bubble, or on a video chat with the whole family singing along, Brady Bunch style!
Christmas music creates lifelong memories
My best holiday memories involve music. When I was a young lad, my mom would be on the piano all the time. She is a very talented keyboardist and piano teacher, so homemade holiday tunes were a non-stop part of my upbringing. As I grew up, my brothers and I played music together almost every day. Most of my holiday memories, therefore, involve playing holiday songs with my family at home, in church, and many other places.
Many people are creating those musical memories using Roland instruments. Even though I play guitar, I still use Roland tech in the form of Boss effects pedals (Boss is a division of Roland). This contest gives you an opportunity to bring Roland into your home just in time for Christmas!
Roland FP-10 Keyboards are more than just a digital piano
Digital pianos have come a long way, and Roland has been at the forefront of their evolution. The FP-10 is a great example of what you can expect from a premium Roland digital instrument. Piano purists might insist on having an acoustic instrument in their home—and that’s fine. However, many people prefer the consistency, versatility, and portability of a digital instrument: especially one like the FP-10 that very closely approximates the feel and tone of an acoustic.
We sent one of these digital pianos to Nikolai for an honest review. Watch his video and read his review to understand why he really liked this instrument.
Are you ready to gather around this piano with your family social bubble (and/or gather virtually on MS Teams or Zoom) for a holiday singalong? Carefully read the rest of this article for your chance to win.

My sister Ines is a piano lover, she would use it all the time. She would play Jingle Bells without a doubt.
Sister Anna
Walking in a winter wonderland
My mom will definitely hog this haha, she would go right to town playing “White Christmas”. However when it’s my turn my favorite new song to learn would be a cover of “If We Make Through December” by Pheobe Bridgers.
I would love to say someone other than myself would get the most out of this amazing holiday gift but … alas… it is Christmas and I cannot tell a lie… I would love to get my fingers on this beautiful piece of electronics… What song would I play first… Fairytale of New York by the Pogues … Come on.. its totally a holiday song… Merry Christmas
This would actually be a gift for a friend, Clint. He helped me out in a major way a few years ago and I’d love to give this to him.
He can play anything. I’d request my favourite Christmas song Mele Kalikimaka
Would love to win this myself! I started learning when I was a kid, but haven’t been able to play in over a decade. Jingle Bells would be the first thing I’d want to play!
My brother Omar will get the most use as he always loved to play the piano and the first holiday song he will play is jingle bells
I’ve been learning piano this last year but what i have is currently pretty old, having a new piano to play songs to my daughters this Christmas would be amazing!
I would love this for my wife! She plays amazing piano but hasn’t gotten to play in years since we moved away from her home.
My boyfriend. He wants to learn piano and write songs. Silver bells!!
Ludovic, my 7 years old boy. He is learning piano but does not have a real one like this Roland. Jingle Bells is the most marvelous song as it has rythme. Merci beauoup!
My wife and I both play the piano (though I play more than her :P) but the first Christmas song I’d play would definitely be “Christmas in LA” by the wonderful Vulfpeck!
My best friend Reide has wanted a piano for years, but COVID has been hard on him. I think he would play silver bells first?
I would play this the most. I took lessons as a kid but haven’t had my own piano or keyboard as an adult. The first song I’d play is “I’ll be home for Christmas”. Thanks!
Maia wants to learn Jingle Bells
I would love this piano for myself! I’d definitely try learning “it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”x
I would be the one using since i’m the only musician in my household. I always wanted a keyboard like this one but I never had enough money to buy one with school and all, I would defenitely learn Greensleeves as my first christmas song on the piano because i think it’s such a beautiful piece.
That’s going to have to be myself, Tara, and I would love to play Silent Night.
My grandpa is a pianist, he would love this in his bedroom!
My daughter Ava will be a year old right before Christmas and will hopefully show us her hidden talent and play Jingle Bells
My daughter would love this, but I would use it more. First song would be the easiest possible. Would take a while to learn.
Marty. I hope he plays Good King Wenceslas
This piano would be amazing for when I move into my new apartment!
I love Roland piano as this company is the best in digital stage piano and mostly used by professional musicians. I would love to have this for daughter. Goodluck to all who joined.
My daughter Evie and should play The Scientist by Coldplay
It would be for me as I recently started learning piano, I would like to learn Rockin Around the Christmas Tree!
Would love to be able to teach my kids to play jingle bells 🙂
My Girlfriend Steph would absolutely love this Piano. I know she would play Jingle Bells for me if she got it!!
I would use it the most and I would probably play All I Want for Christmas is You 🙂
At home, I would love to have one of these to play I Wanna Wish You a Merry Christmas 🙂
Honestly me, I always wanted To learn. First song would be the Jurassic Park theme lol
My almost 2 year old daughter Olivia would love this, I’d love for her to learn as I took some lessons when I was younger this would be amazing first keyboard I’d hope she’d learn maybe the birthday song to start lol
I would love to surprise my husband Klyde with this. Hopefully he plays an improv jazz version of The Christmas song/Chestnuts roasting on an open fire!
Maddie, our autistic child and jingle bells would be the first Christmas song she’d play!!
My roommate Leo will be the most use person in my house, and he will play Jingle Bells
That will be me! I am a music producer and will love a piano like this ! The first song I will play will be one that I create myself!
Me, Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy by Crosby & Bowie 🙂
My daughter Lauren would love this. She loves music and she would probably play Bing Crosby’s classic hit “White Christmas”.
My daughter, Candice, will most definitely be the one playing this piano. I would guess she will be playing Jingle Bells as that is her favourite holiday song.
My daughter would love this – she’s been trying to play the Star Wars theme song for ages!
My lovely wife, Irene, would most definitely be using this the most. I hope she will play Silent Night for me.
Always been a dream to learn how to play the piano. I would play the piano for my family, probably something beginner like hot cross buns. (P.s. I listen to piano music so much that I became top 2% of listeners on Spotify )
I will get the most use of this piano, and I would love to play an easy holiday song first like Jingle Bells until I practise more.
My daughter Olivia and probably Jingle Bells
I (Rose) would play the piano the most in our house and the first Christmas song I’d play would be O Holy Night 🙂
Wow, that’s a cool looking Keyboards. It would be me, I love to learn to play this instrument during this lockdown.
Me! And Chopsticks since I plan on learning to play again after many years of being away from the keys.
Those weighted keys are a nice touch. I think my niece, Eva, would really take to the piano well and have the piano’s first song being Jingle Bells; and by the end of the holidays will have learned Joy to the World!
My bro Nick would love this piano. He would definitely be learning Rudolf the Rednose Reindeer first so that he could play along with me on the recorder!
My daughter would really like this. Wanna teach her last Christmas by wham down the road
