Yamaha Piano Keyboard

Question:
My 18 yr old daughter is taking an interest in learning piano. I would assume that a good quality electronic keyboard would be OK to get started on? We have space limitations and are also conscious of cost (since we don’t know how long the interest will be there). Please provide suggestions, i.e. find the space and get a real piano, brand XXX keyboard is a great way to get started, etc.
Answer:
Well, the advantages of being 18 is that your daughter would have some idea about what she thinks she might like to learn. If she is interested in religious music, she may like a keyboard that has an organ emulation key. If your daughter likes to sing, she might like to have a keyboard with a rhythm section. If your daughter wants to learn classical piano, she may wish a keyboard or electronic piano with a piano touch. I have a very old digital/electronic Yamaha piano that is just fine, not fancy, nice touch, solid, not portable. Yamaha generally make very fine musical instruments, certainly fine enough for anything your 18 year old daughter would want to do or learn. But having said that, you and your daughter should spend some time looking, maybe rent a keyboard for a while. Is your daughter considering being self-taught or taking lessons? I have always wanted to learn piano and organ and went a little mad on ebay. first I bought an old yamaha organ which was ok, then I bought a Technics keysboard which was quite good but then I saw the yamaha clavinovas and realised they were my dream machine and I had to buy one, I did and it’s fantastic. It sounds and feels like a real piano but I can also use the headphones when I practice so I do not get on my families nerves, the also split into two peices for moving so they can fit in a hatchback. If you buy a Yamaha CVP it also has many good sounds like organ and strings etc.
