Right Equipment for successful piano lessons! Statistics overwhelmingly support the fact
that students' motivation is much higher and progress is faster when they
practice/play on an adequate instrument; therefore, better piano teachers*
will require that a student must have a digital or acoustic piano with 88 keys
and a hammer action for home practice/play. If you're concerned about the student's
commitment or interest in music before making an investment in the right
instrument, you can rent-to-purchase the right instrument from us for
about the same cost as an inexpensive keyboard. We recommend a Roland digital piano with Music Tutor Interactive as
the ideal instrument to learn to play the piano on. Acoustic pianos should be tuned** before your first
lesson and at least once every six months thereafter. (There is not one piano
maker that recommends tuning
less than twice a year). Your piano should be placed in a well-lit, central
part of your home. Digital pianos should have headphones readily available.
Neither pianos in poor condition nor keyboards are sufficient for successful
piano lessons. *Better piano teachers know this as fact
and therefore will make this requirement.
Be leery of a teacher’s qualifications if they say it is OK to
start with a keyboard or an old used piano. **See “The Real
Cost of Tuning an Acoustic Piano” |
