So here we are done with going over the 5 best pianos for beginners to take in mind when buying a piano for learning purposes.


The following are another few things to take into consideration when buying your piano.

Sustain pedal

Number 1, make sure your keyboard comes with a sustain pedal, otherwise, you’ll have to buy a sustain pedal separately.

The reason you need a sustain pedal is because while playing piano you will want to sustain a note without holding your fingers on the same key the entire time.

This will give you the ability to play more notes while the previous note is sustaining.

Piano stand

A piano stand is not a must, but would be a smart decision to buy one.

Not always you have place on your table to place your keyboard or piano there.

A piano stand will always serve the purpose of having a good place for your keyboard while you play on it.

Headphones

A good idea would be if you have a pair of headphones in case you cannot play loud.

Headphones will enable you to whenever you want without disturbing others.

In any case would headphones be a good thing to have if you want to listen closely to your sound and music you play.

Keyboard/Piano case

A case for your piano or keyboard is quite important.

It will prevent your piano from getting dusty or dirty that might sometimes be harmful for you keyboard and may cause for some features to not work properly.

A piano case isn’t expensive, make sure to get one.

What is a keyboard in musical terms Top 9 digital keyboards for beginners

  1. At first I was a bit confused, because I have this old fashioned idea a piano is a wooden instrument that takes up a lot of space.
    But keyboards are more practical. You can take them anywhere and they take up less space.
    I played the button box for quite some time, but sold it once we were making plans to emigrate. And now I am starting to miss making music myself. I still don’t know what to choose. The button box is fun and I love the sound, but it has its limitations because it’s only in 1 or 2 keys (is that the proper English word for it?). A piano has more possibilities.
    Thanks for this review.

    1. Thanks Hannie, I’m glad my articles are opening peoples eyes to go with digital pianos and keyboards that are much easier to carry.

  2. Thanks for your enlightening article. If/when my son purchases a piano for his kids to learn on, I know your article will be a help. Your recommendations of the 4 accessories to purchase was also valuable. The pianos you recommend will help anyone looking for a beginner piano to save time and narrow down the choices for which one would be best for them.
