Can you still get piano lesson when you have a keyboard?

Question

It's just a keyboard, no pedal, and probably not enough keys. But, I really want lessons! I've been teaching myself for a while but i don't want to do this forever.

Answer 1

ya u dont use the pedal much and the lower and higher keys you dont use at all unless ur really good but they dont even use them

Answer 2

Yep. However as you get better you will need to get either a proper piano, or a digital/personal/portable piano with 88 weighted keys.

I would recommend the P85, P70 or even better the P140 from Yamaha.

I have the P140 as well as loads of others.

Have fun!

Answer 3

Even if you've been teaching yourself i expect you'll be taught the basics in order to make sure you've got the right technique. I started of with a keyboard but i did get taught on a piano. Still, I don't think it would make a huge difference for who ever is gonna be teaching you...Good luck and enjoy! Oh, and well done on teaching yourself- that kind of motivation is really admirable.

Answer 4

of course...if you live by a college im sure they will let you have lessons in their practice room if not then i think the keyboard will work.

Answer 5

You probably can, since you can still practice songs on a keyboard.  Still, though, getting a piano might be a better idea because of the difference in sound quality (keyboards never do sound as good).  You don't need a huge grand piano or anything, an upright piano (the smallest version and the one that I have :D) is good enough for practice.  Also, the lack of a pedal might become a problem as you become more advanced, but since it seems like you're just starting off, it should be fine for now.  Hope you manage to find a good teacher!
