For a lot of emerging pianists, getting a keyboard may be a really good option.
Admittedly, those with ample room and monetary resources might choose to spend money on a "genuine" pianoHowever, in scenarios where your living space is small and/or your budget is tight, electronic keyboards can be a very sensible replacement
Let's discuss some merits of the keyboard: (1) Logistics - If you own a conventional piano, the chances are that an entire room is filled Setting the piano up will be a challenge, unless you have a very large room indeedAn acoustic upright is admittedly a little smaller, yet it is still a rather large instrument (particularly if you compare it with other instruments like the guitar, violin etc.)Conversely, digital keyboards have much smaller dimensions Finding a place for it in your home will be basically a cinch If you don't wish to fix it up on a bench, you can simply rest it across your lapIn a nutshell, finding room for a keyboard is comparatively quick(2) You can plug in headphones - You also gain from a keyboard if it allows you to use some headphonesMany modern keyboards make it easy for you to plug in a set of headphones and basically shut off the noise for the outside world.You could profit from this in a few different waysTo begin with, think about what will happen if your child wishes to practise. Most probably, there will be periods when you want a break from the sound of their playingAfter 3 hours of hearing your child bang away on the piano, you might start to wish you'd bought him a keyboard and not an acoustic.Headphones enable younger users to play to their heart's content while not troubling other people.Also, you yourself (if you're an older owner) might like to play for yourself and not for those around youThose who are new to the piano may wish to play without others listening or making remarksPlayers who have yet to attain a certain level often prefer to keep their playing private And for that reason a headphones-jack is certainly recommended for this early stage of practising(3) Moveable nature - You'll also appreciate the portability of the keyboard A grand or upright piano won't offer you that many choices Wherever the piano is, that's where you're required to play. With the help of a keyboard, though, you have many more opportunities regarding where you play Your lap, the lounge, the bedroom, even the kitchen - it can be played practically wherever you want, including on the road
There's virtually nowhere the keyboard cannot go
So these are three reasons to contemplate getting a keyboard. Let's make it clear that we do not suggest that a regular piano is a negative thing It's just that a lightweight keyboard incorporates selected benefits As well as everything we have mentioned, there is maybe one additional (relatively evident) factor to bring up - price. If a keyboard costs just one or two hundred dollars, then individuals with not much cash to spend may very well go with it You'll definitely spend a lot less than you would on a top-of-the-range grand piano
