Hi Charla,

DON'T use the 'Microphone In' on the amp for your keyboard. The signal will be much to strong for that input and the sound coming out will be extremely distorted!!
What you need is a normal stereo cable (long enough of course!) like you use for a home stereo-set 'from your Line out or aux out) from the keyboard to AUX IN or LINE IN on the amp. Usually they have on both sides a red and white RCA plug, also called Tulip plug. On some keyboards the AUX/LINE out has big Jackplugs.

Regards
Dick
