What Is The Best Digital Keyboard For Beginners?

By Andrew Strauss Laeddis


To become a pianist you need three things: talent, training, and an instrument. Even the greatest piano virtuoso will find it difficult to reproduce his award winning pieces on a piano that is below par to begin with.

Some do not pursue a piano training simply because they think that pianos are expensive. If you are a beginner, getting a good quality but less expensive digital keyboard would be a much better option.

There are five general types of digital keyboards. First of which are digital pianos, which are good for those who are still starting out, because they are simple and easy to use. Intermediate users will find arrangers more adapted to their skill level, and they can use the automatic accompaniment to simulate playing with a band. Stage pianos, as the term implies are made for those who intend to use it for onstage performances. While not as feature rich as an arranger, the sound it generates is much bolder. Workstations and synthesizers on the other hand are for more advanced piano players. More work can be done on these systems such as sequencing, recording or editing music as well as manipulating waveforms. Their professional extra features make them the most expensive among the five.

There are several digital piano manufacturers out there, but Casio pianos are one of the most sought-after primarily because they are feature-rich yet inexpensive. They are best known for their topnotch beginner pianos which come built in with step-up learning systems. These portable keyboards also have music challenge feature which gives an element of fun to the learning process. High-end Casio pianos also have tri-sensor scaled hammer-action and ivory touch keyboards which gives its users almost the same audible and aesthetic delight of a concert piano.

For beginners, getting the CTK-2100 is a wise decision. It is a good buy at $170 because you already get a 61-key unit which already feature-rich. Tutees will find the voice fingering guide on the CTK-2100 very helpful during practices. Using AHL audio technology, these keyboards provide almost the same sweet tunes produced by a real grand piano.
