Learn Music with Free Lessons & Tips

A beginning piano student needs a good instrument. Think about it. If you wanted your child to play soccer, would you send your child out on the field in a pair of cheap flip-flops, or would you make sure your child had a good pair of shoes? Shoes, of course! To help you decide what will be best for your child and your budget, let's talk... There are three basic categories of piano keyboard instruments. The largest and most expensive, and also the best when it comes to developing piano skills, are the acoustic pianos. There are also many good digital pianos, which are smaller, less expensive, and do a decent job of mimicking the sound and feel of an acoustic instrument. A third category, the electronic keyboard, is the least expensive option, but an electronic keyboard may not have the right touch to develop hand strength for a beginning pianist, or enough keys to play a wide range of music. Many digital or electronic instruments can also be connected to a computer with a midi cable and used with all kinds of educational and music production software. They’re more portable, and, unlike acoustic pianos, digital pianos and electronic keyboards never need to be tuned. A beginning student can get a good start on learning the piano with one of these instruments. If your family has space in your home and your budget for an acoustic piano, I encourage you to go with this option

Personally, I’ve found playing piano to be the ultimate stress reliever.

playing the piano is like taking your fingers to the gym. As you practice, your fingers will strengthen and finger speed will increase.Reading music with your eyes and responding with your hands also serves to build excellent hand-eye coordination.

Music is a universal language that Playing piano is a wonderful way of bringing together the larger community, as well as smaller groups of family and friends.
