Read More »A common question many students and parents ask School of Rock is “what is the difference between piano and keyboard?” and “can you learn to play piano on a keyboard?” While there are differences in the sounds these instruments produce and how they make them, the answer is “yes!” –– it is possible to learn to play piano on a keyboard.

Where to buy. Both pianos and keyboards can usually be purchased online or at your local music store. Because of their large size and weight, pianos often need to be moved by professionals for a fee.

In general, it’s important to keep both your piano or keyboard in good condition by cleaning your instrument on a regular basis. In addition to regular maintenance, pianos also need to be kept in tune. As an acoustic instrument made of wood and metal, pianos can fall out of tune due to environmental factors like temperature, humidity, or seasonal changes. In general, it is recommended that piano owners regularly tune their pianos with the help of a professional, which can add up in cost. Maintenance.

Pianos tend to be large and are designed to stay in place most of the time. Due to their size, they often need to be moved by teams of professionals. In contrast, many keyboards are very light and portable. Due to their smaller size, keyboards tend to be easier to move and put away as needed, and are great for traveling musicians who need to bring their instruments with them wherever they perform.

Sound. Sound options vary depending on if you choose a piano versus a keyboard. The piano is an acoustic instrument, meaning its sound is produced and amplified physically. In comparison, keyboards are electronic instruments with a variety of volume options, and often can produce sounds like piano, horns, strings, organs, synthesizers, and more. Since they’re electronic, often require amplification to produce sound, although some models come with speakers built in. Unlike pianos, keyboards can be made loud or quiet by using their volume knob.

The cost of a piano may be high depending on the manufacturer, the material, and the design, but you can find them being sold second-hand for relatively less. For keyboards, you can usually purchase a model for less than a hundred dollars, but some models may cost more depending on the features. For this reason, some parents may want to consider renting a piano or keyboard until their child is certain they want to play. Cost. In general, keyboards tend to be more affordable than pianos.

However, some keyboards have less than 88 keys. The number of keys differs depending on the model you choose for your kid, but if you’re learning piano on a keyboard, you’ll want at least 72 keys in order to play the majority of popular piano compositions.

Key arrangement. The arrangement of the keys on a keyboard is identical to the arrangement of the keys on a piano, and your hand and finger movements will be identical from one instrument to the other. Pianos all use the same width keys, and many keyboard keys are identical or slightly narrower in width. This slight change in width won’t take too much getting used to if you’re going to switch back and forth from one size of keys to another. Key arrangement.

The “action” of a keyboard or piano describes how well the keys respond when pushed down. As an acoustic instrument, pianos tend to have more action, and have a weighted feel when playing. A keyboard with weighted keys is a good option for students who want a similar feel to the piano.

As an acoustic instrument, pianos tend to have more action, and have a weighted feel when playing. A keyboard with weighted keys is a good option for students who want a similar feel to the piano. Since the two instruments share many similarities, the concepts you learn and practice on a piano will transfer directly to playing on a keyboard, and vice versa. However, there are subtle differences between the two instruments that are worth noting. Our music programs are taught by practicing musicians with the experience students need to learn to play. Students can perform live shows and develop their skills in a supportive learning environment for all skill levels.
