What piano keyboard would you recommend for a beginner?

Posted by admin

I'm looking at something under $500. Is it possible to learn by yourself?

yes it is possible. but you must be very strict on yourself. learn proper positions for fingers, learn all basics as if you were have a teacher. get beginer books. if you have a friend that's really helpful for questions. Also the internet is your friend, learn what all the symbols mean and time signatures. it will take a while to learn efficiantly, but it's very possible.

if your aiming to go full blast piano player, you want a pretty darn good one. but since you're a beginner i really suggest any quality brand like a yamaha. you don't need all the fancy "technologic teachers" built in or anything. just maybe a metronome is good :) just get a simple keyboard with about a good 5-6 octaves on it. i was able to play on that for years.
when you get more serious, you'll want to get a bigger piano obviously to play more intricate peices.

    if you get a keyboard make sure its a full length keyboard. dont' get a short board. make sure it has all the keys… yes it is possible to learn how to play by yourself but it takes more work cause you dont know every thing and books don't teach you every thing that a teacher knows….so would say get lessons..don't try to do it by your self. cause that makes it harder for you and then you can get frustrated..good luck
