hi guys, so i recently had the urge to attempt to teach myself how to play the piano

i've been trying to find some reasonable deals on a keyboard, but i'm really not sure where to start or what to look for in a keyboard

my budget is probably $100 - 150, so i know i can't get anything high quality but just a good beginner keyboard should be fine

any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!

is this a good one? i can't find any decent reviews on google or anything

looks to be a newer model of the one i had, just without a few extra things. i had no complaints but i am also a guitar player
has many sounds, some of which are fun/novelty
built in speakers etc
it is only $130 after all, so it wont be fantastic by any means, but itll be just fine for someone whos learning imo

yeah i play guitar too

just feel like mixing it up a bit

i have no idea how im going to learn though haha, you know of any good programs or anything? i see this one on youtube that is like digital that has the keys coming down like guitar hero

hmm.. i remember seeing some cheapy keyboards that had built in songs with keys that lit up so you could follow along
otherwise its probably best to learn to read sheet music, helps a lot in general, and the books help you learn the fundamentals

yeah i looked into that too, but then i read some things saying it's bad to learn that way

i guess ill have to get a book, i was going to use this thing called synthesia

check it out http://synthesiagame.com/

good idea imo
make sure you have sheet music on when you play it though
great program
