I am new in here. No experince in Keyboard, but I am interested about it!

[Mugen]

HI everyone. I am new in here. I have no experience with any form of music. Really want to learn keyboard years ago. I am 20 right now, Am I too old to learn it? Anyways, any suggestion to me? Want to buy a keyboard around $100-150 (either new or used). I know it is not a lot of money, but I hope this is good enough for me at least for my first year learning it. Any good suggestions? THank you

Mugen,

Welcome . I would recommend saving a little extra cash and look at buying a Yamaha EZ30 . This $270.00 keyboard has an educational light guide system built in ! Much better than Casio system you may see advertised . You could get involved with playing and learning notes right away . I bought one for my kids . They are learning quickly . Adultis can too ! The keyboard will even annouce the note when you stike it ! Very cool and very worth it ! Check out Yamaha's web site .

Welcome, Mugen! Why not tell us a little more about yourself in our Introductions thread. We have a great community here and we welcome people of all experience levels!

 

BTW, I taught piano for a little while back when I was in my twenties. My best student back then was a middle-aged man who started as a complete novice and who wound up playing Beethoven Sonatinas in just six months! So, the answer is "no," you're definitely not too old to learn!

[soapbox]

BTW, vi an, I don't believe you've posted in our Introductions thread either! Why not tell us a little about yourself?

 

vi an, I wish you a belated "welcome" as well!

Hi soapbox,

wow, people in the introductions thread wrote a lot about themselves. I am going to write it as well, but I will write it after I buy my first keyboard. I will try to find the Yamaha EZ30 in this couple of days. And thx for your support soapbox.

[Mugen]

Just check out the price of the keyboard. Higher than what I was expecting. It is $599 Canadian dollars, so around $399 US dollars. I am not sure places that buy keyboards, but I will keep trying in the next few days.

[Dan O]

That's very expensive for the EZ30 . They are advertised for $279.99 US dollars ! Keep shopping ! dano

[Mugen]

I finally bought the EZ30 today. No idea how to use it yet. Playing with it right now

[Dan O]

Alright !

Select a song .

Use lesson #2 ( waiting)

You can choose left or right hand play . The keys will light up ( over keyboard) . Play the songs ! Have Fun !

GO to Yamaha website ! dano

hey dano, I am having a lot of fun with it but it is really hard to play. I just use the Lesson 2 function and playing with it. Not sure how to use other functions yet. I am also learning some music knowledge from pianonanny.com . Almost finish reading all starter lessons. Thanks everyone. And I have introduced myself in the intro thread.
