Is an electronic keyboard good enough for learning piano?
A keyboard can be a decent and reasonable way to get started and establish interest. It should have at least 61 “full-size” keys and be a “touch-sensitive” keyboard. Basically, as close to how a piano behaves the better it will be for developing proper technique. Keep in mind that any starter keyboard (short of a full digital piano) will need to be replaced with a better instrument after about 6 to 12 months of study. If you use an electronic keyboard for most at-home practice, we strongly suggest you supplement that with at least 1 practice session per week on our pianos here at the academy. Practice on our pianos is complimentary for all current and active students and can be easily scheduled with the director at 410-997-8388, x103.
