Why YOU Should Buy a Keyboard

Keyboards are an advance over acoustic pianos!

Let me spell this out. You may already own a piano.

That acoustic piano has great sentimental value.

You might think this is traditional.

You might be used to it's sound.

However, it's primitive.

Unless you are really, really good, all those features that made this instrument really high tech back in 1706 are not available to you.

And besides, don't you want at least late 20th century tech?

Here's how any modern keyboard is an advance over an acoustic piano.

1. You can plug in headphones so nobody else can hear you.
2. It never needs tuning - thus less expense and better sound.
3. It has a built in metronome which can help you learn to play your favorite music.
4. Many keyboards can record your performances which also can help you.
5. Here's a biggie - you can have many different sounds without having to learn those instruments physically.

There are many reasons.

Of course, you have to push a button (if your keyboard is available to you.)

If that's too hard, well consider this - the piano requires much more learning than a keyboard to make it sound good.

Sure, you can pick out the melody of tunes, but what about creating a full arrangement.

That's something a keyboard does well and a piano not so much.

See and "hear" my youtube video on using the "auto-accompaniment" feature of your keyboard.
