A small keyboard, such as this Alseis, 61 key keyboard, will work for young, beginner students. As students advance, I will recommend moving up to an 88 key keyboard, or an acoustic piano.

An 88 key keyboard is a good option for beginner students of all ages. This Alesis keyboard has full sized keys, however they are not weighted. This makes it a budget friendly option for students just starting out. As students advance, I will recommend a keyboard with weighted keys, or an acoustic piano.

Casio Privia PX-160s are what I use in my studio. They have 88, full sized, weighted keys. This is a wonderful keyboard for students beginner level, through intermediate level.

Here is, in my opinion, one of the best digital pianos you can buy. The Kawai CA78 is my main teaching piano that I use in my studio. This piano is perfect, for beginning students, to even the most advanced student. Kawai also offers a similar digital piano that is more budget friendly.
