With 100s of options out there, it can be incredibly difficult to find the best keyboard for your child.

​Here is what I recommend for my piano students:




Starter:

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.

Good:

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.

Better:

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.

Best:

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.
