I would love to play a keyboard. I am a 60 yr old male with time to learn. Always wanted to learn. Don't have a clue what to buy. Weighted keys? soft touch? I just want to learn how play. never will be a musicain. I used to play guuitar and I found a cheap guitar very hard to play. Sound quality not a real big issue, kinda hard of heariing. sure would appreciate some guidance here. Tx John

There are some keyboards with built-in education, and ability to show a note score on the LCD screen. Perhaps there is someone around here who could give a clue which one is the best, if you would like that kind of function in the keyboard.
(I have only noticed that there are such education programs, but I have no idea which one's the best.)

Hi, Je. Since you're just starting out, I wouldn't go expensive at all.
A suggestion I would have is to call some local music or piano shops and see if they have this keyboard in stock.

If so, they should be able to help you out with any questions you will have on it or comparable items.
Good luck on your search!

Casio have the key-lighting system - http://www.casio-intl.com/emi/key_lighting/
I must say I learnt a lot of my playing with a very similar function on an old Casiotone.
The lower (read "cheaper") end of the Yamaha PSR series have music tuition systems (Y.E.S - Yamaha Educaiton System) built into them as well (play along to songs etc)
