Hi

[GarrySticc56]

I'm looking around here and I haven't seen a lot of direction for people(like myself) that are very new to the keyboarding deal. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough but I'm looking to learn a lot about the keyboard, looking to buy one but I needed recommendations for a decent(not TOO expensive) keyboard to start with. A lot of my favorite artists(mostly modern rock but also many older artists) play piano/keyboard and I'm interested in learning. How do I get started here. Thanks.

Starting to play a keyboard or piano?

Do you want to play a Piano or Keyboard? That is the question my Teacher asked when I took up playing keys after years with a guitar and bass. He qualified it by stating, there is a difference in how I teach you and in how you will develop. Piano. At its most basic level LH plays the Bass...

Additionally there are excellent threads on equipment reviews, on music theory and plenty of posts on specific keyboards.

I would suggest that after reading the above post you seek out online reviews of:-

Yamaha PSR E463

Casio CT X3000

Korg EK 50

Or if you are interested in a digital piano then:-

Yamaha P125

Casio S1000

Good luck
