Is it hard to learn the piano if you play the keyboard?

Posted by admin on December 28th, 2009 and filed under Uncategorized | 2 Comments »

I’ve been playing a keyboard, and was going to start taking piano lessons. Is it easy to play a piano after playing a keyboard or is it the same thing? Thanks(:

It’s pretty much the same thing. The piano usually has more keys than the keyboard, and it can’t do that "play a whole chord with one finger" thing that keyboards do. And obviously you can’t change the sound to "strings" or "vibraphone" or "space alien".

Mostly you’ll have to get used to the different feel that playing a real piano has, and learn to adjust the "volume" by how you press the keys. And you’ll have to get used to using the foot pedals, but that’s easy.
