Accessories For Your Keyboard

Accessories For Your Keyboard

It's really possible to start playing the piano with just a keyboard, rather than an acoustic or digital piano.

A lot of people looking into buying a piano ask if a keyboard would be sufficient to get started. Often, they'll see an inexpensive keyboard at a big box store and hope that it will do the trick for at least a few years. I do not recommend starting with a keyboard for a number of reasons.
