what should you learn to play on obviously you can spend a little bit of money you can spend a lot of money there's real acoustic pianos and there's all kinds of keyboards and digital pianos you can get i'm not going to get too technical with all the specs and things so i just want to talk about some of the important features i think you should look for things to consider things that you should know about to help you choose the right thing which will actually help you learn better so you need to try and pick the right thing that's most suitable for you and some people are going to have slightly different needs to others so i'll touch upon these things throughout the video the first thing is do you need a real acoustic piano to learn to play well that's the dream for a lot of us but in reality for a lot of us it's just not possible to have one so most of us do end up learning on a keyboard or digital piano and that's absolutely fine just quickly if you're not sure there is a slight difference in the terms keyboard and digital piano a digital piano is something that's specifically meant to emulate a real acoustic piano so really it should have weighted keys but they often get referred to as keyboards as well keyboard can also mean loads of other things like sims and electric pianos but you wouldn't call those digital pianos a lot of us won't have the space for a real acoustic piano so a digital piano is often a lot more practical you can get good enough quality and all the main features you need as a beginner at a much more affordable price compared to even some of the cheaper real acoustics it's easier to practice quietly you can put headphones in too and you've also got the option of using other sounds like electric piano and organ although with more entry-level keyboards those sounds aren't always the best but the cheaper ones are usually fine for getting going and practicing with if you're looking to buy a real acoustic piano i honestly recommend visiting your local piano or music shop to try things out for yourself so the main question that people often ask is what size keyboard should you go for a full size piano is 88 keys but you can get a lot of keyboards and midi controllers and all that kind of stuff like 73 76 keys and then 61.49 so again it depends what you're doing this one is actually only 73 keys as you may have noticed but if you're learning to play piano properly i'm going to recommend going for a full size 88 keys because eventually when you're learning like proper piano repertoire and stuff playing on your own at some point the smaller size is just going to limit what you can do you can get away with 73 and 76 keys for a while going below that you're going to find that very limiting very soon and you'll end up just needing to upgrade anyway down the road so it's a bit of a false economy if you buy something smaller now if you're looking to play piano properly although if you're a producer and you're just looking to get some basic piano skills to help you program stuff in you'll probably get away with a smaller keyboard but it's up to you depends what space you've got what kind of stuff you're doing the other main thing to think about is weighted keys so every brand of keyboard and every real piano for that matter is gonna feel a little bit different but there's a few kind of broad categories so there's keyboards with non-weighted keys that usually look like this and some of them don't even have touch sensitivity which means when you push the key harder it's going to sound louder but then some of them do have it which is obviously a bit better then we have keyboards with semi-weighted keys which tend to look a little bit more like normal keys but they don't quite feel the same i actually have another nord kind of like this one with the semi-weighted keys because i sometimes prefer that for some sounds like clav and organ but then ideally i think the most important feature you want to look for is for a keyboard with fully weighted keys so these are designed to mimic what a real piano feels like much more closely they feel very different to non-weighted keys and they're optimal for developing technique properly getting your fingers used to the feel and touch of them and how you need to move to control the sound and the dynamics and things so we want to try and get as close to that authentic feel as we can and certain things just aren't quite the same when you haven't got weighted keys when we're talking about more entry-level keyboards and digital pianos it is the ones with weighted keys that are a little bit more expensive but for the reasons i've just mentioned i do think they are worth the investment if you want some specific suggestions i'm going to put some links down below in the description you can check out there's a couple in there like the roland's and the yamaha's which are my two favorite entry-level keyboards quite a few of my students have those keyboards so i've played on them a lot the sound quality is really good for that price bracket and i think they feel really nice as well particularly the roland you may hear the odd person say that it's a complete waste of time to practice on a keyboard that doesn't have weighted keys the argument is that you end up wasting time relearning technique afterwards that is true to some degree but it's a bit extreme it's more like you have to be prepared to spend some time adapting adjusting and learning a few technique things that you couldn't of without the weighted keys there's still plenty of things that you will learn without weighted keys you should go with the best thing that you can afford as if you spent two years without a weighted keyboard then obviously you're going to learn a hell of a lot more than if you didn't have anything but if it just means saving up for a little bit longer remember it is ideal in the long run to get something with weighted keys it's still a reasonable amount of money to spend on one that doesn't have weighted keys anyway and you may end up spending more if you just have to upgrade a little way down the line so there is kind of a lowest price point where you'll start seeing keyboards with weighted keys and around that price point there's also keyboards without but there you're spending the money on extra features extra sounds maybe on board computer screens where you can program things so i think the money is better spent on those features that are going to help you learn to play better when you do start spending more money than that you do get a few extra little features like some of the lower end keyboards you have to like hold shift and push a key to change sounds and things and a bit more money and you'll get all the options on buttons and stuff like that some of them have bluetooth and you can record yourself and all that kind of stuff and then when you get to a much higher end that's when you're starting to get even better actions and much more authentic nicer sounds but when you're just starting out that high end isn't necessarily worth it those entry-level keyboards are perfectly good enough to be learning on the other thing for going for something for too cheap is the sound quality now i don't want to sound snobby but it does honestly make a big difference when you've got a keyboard that sounds really nice or a certain level of quality at least i think it's much more motivating to play when you're actually creating a nice sound with what you're doing so i'm talking about the main piano sound like i said if you want much higher quality authentic replications of other electric pianos and organs and things like that you're going to be paying a lot more money if you have it on board that is there's always the option of having samples on your computer and using a midi keyboard i also think it's really important that people have a permanent setup they can just sit at turn it on and start practicing straight away if you have to faff around plugging things in wiring stuff up it can put you off getting started so most entry-level digital pianos or keyboards they all have built-in speakers actually when you get to higher end stuff they tend to be made more for professionals gigging and stuff so you have to plug in an amp that this doesn't have speakers if you need a midi keyboard because you want to be programming stuff on the computer if you don't know a midi keyboard is where the keyboard doesn't actually have sounds on it it just kind of sends signals to the computer and the computer has the sounds in the software it just kind of triggers them although some keyboards have both so this one has its own sound and it has a midi output as well i can do both of that if you don't need it for that though it's going to be more faffy to set up what you don't want to do is have your keyboard on a desk you want to have a proper sturdy stable stand anyway so some of these keyboards come in with their own inbuilt stands or you can get portable stands and things again choose what's right for you if you're going to need to move your keyboard around then you don't want one of those permanent ones they do tend to be a bit more stable in general which is really useful you don't want a keyboard to be wobbling around although if you do get a decent cross brace stand or one like this and you have a level floor or you set it up right make sure that it's sturdy then you shouldn't have too much of a problem and lastly when you do buy a keyboard you sometimes get a free stall and a pedal with it these may seem like a good deal but the accessories they come with usually aren't the best for example the stalls are often too small and narrow and it's much better to get an adjustable stool because your sitting height plays an important role in your technique and pedals that look like this are honestly pretty useless a decent proper sustain pedal that mimics like a real piano pedal they're not that expensive and i've got a link below for the one that i always recommend to my students which is universal sometimes not all brands of pedals are compatible with other brands of keyboards i hope that was helpful please let me know in the comments if you have any questions about getting your first set up to learn piano on and please give the video a like as that really helps out the channel thanks for watching ...
