Excellent way to learn Casio Keyboard for a beginner

I have been enjoying Carnatic Music for long time... but never thought of learning. Recently when I saw Casio Electronic Keyboard, I thought, why not try out? I picked up SA-45, the basic keyboard from eZone for 1800 and started trying my luck. I thought I would get sufficient resources on Internet to learn play this. I m not such a great fan of Carols, so I wanted to stick to South Indian way of playing Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Da Ni on this keyboard. I tried few on the net, but there is one series that I liked most. The lessons are in the form of short videos uploaded to You Tube. The objective is to teach Bhajans, but they go along with a Raaga. Its a nice way to learn Casio Keyboard.

Risk of Commoditizing

When a product becomes commodity, customers dont need choice. They just look at the price comparison. For example, if Stategy becomes a commodity (as I see the risk now in current times), no customer would want to pay premium to a straight forward stategy. They would just look around, find any MC company that can deliver strategy and get the cheapest one. So, you are a product vendor, you constantly need to watch if your product is being commoditized. And keep innovating on your product to stay afloat if you want to be unique.
