正规的彩票app有哪些 for Kids: should I buy a Keyboard or a 钢琴?

One of the most frequent questions we get about 儿童正规的彩票app有哪些, is whether a keyboard will suffice to start, 或者需要一架真正的钢琴. We will seek to answer this question and expand on the subject to help parents get educated and make the right decisions from the beginning.

通常情况下,答案是肯定的. 在许多情况下, it’s smart not to make a huge upfront investment in lessons before you see how well your child takes to the instrument. A keyboard can be purchased for as little as $100 on the low end, 而一架质量好的钢琴要几千美元.

Should I buy a full sized keyboard or a 61 key keyboard?

If the difference in price is nominal, then go ahead with a full size.  In starting piano lesson for kids, a 61 key keyboard will suffice for probably for a year or so. In the beginning of piano lesson, a very limited range of the keyboard is used. 加班这个扩展, but it could take a couple years to get to the level where a kid needs those extra keys.

How important is a weighted key keyboard?

Weighted keys are heavier and harder to press down, compared with the thin plastic keys of most keyboards. Weighted keys more closely resemble a real piano. The advantage of weighted keys is that your child will have an easier time transitioning to a real piano, 如果这最终发生了. 因为成本更高, we often advise parents to start with an inexpensive small keyboard without weighted keys, then after 6 months if everything is going well, adjust to a better weighted keyboard or just go for a real piano.

真的钢琴总是更好吗?

通常是的. 然而, 如果真的便宜的话, (几百美元), 甚至是赠品, 它可能不值得拿走. The expense of moving and tuning it may cost more than a keyboard, and it’s possible that it’s condition will make it an obstacle for the child’s progress. We always advise checking with and objective friend that plays the piano before making the investment in any instrument.

租一架钢琴是个好选择吗?

是的. It’s pretty amazing today you can rent a very nice new piano for about $40 per month. Be sure to check the contract and make sure that the terms are something you’re comfortable with. If you have no idea how your child will respond to piano lessons, 钢琴没有其他用途了, jumping into a two year lease contract might not be the smartest way to start.

Should I buy an expensive keyboard like a Clavinova to start?

通常这不是一个好主意. The simple reason is because these often cost the same as a real piano, and if the student does well they will eventually need a real instrument anyway. Buy a real instrument instead of a high end keyboard.

首先买一架质量好的钢琴

If you love the aesthetic value a piano brings to your home, and your not especially concerned with how far your child gets with the piano, go ahead and invest in something great if budget allows. Again if you don’t know anything about the sound quality of these pianos, ask an objective friend or instructor who does to try these instruments before you buy.

钢琴 lessons for kids:  a conservative start

1.  购买一个100美元的键盘开始.
给6个月时间来确定进展.  Make the next step up, a reward to help create goals for your child.
2.  租一个正直. Once you see progress, a rental might be a great next step. Some companies allow trade up on contracts and possibly even rent to buy.
3.  3-4 years into lessons, it might be time to upgrade to a grand piano. This is if the student has progressed to the point that a grand is really needed for the next steps.  Your instructor will know when it’s time.

Why students will eventually need a grand piano if they are advanced

 

在孩子开始正规的彩票app有哪些的时候, 学生可以学习笔记, rhythms and some dynamics quite well on most uprights. 然而,随着学生的发展, there comes a time when he or she will need an instrument capable of more subtlety. 在大多数情况下, a grand piano has a wider range of dynamic potential, (大声或软), 并且更富有, 更大的低音. Generally, the more expensive the piano, the greater it’s range of expressive potential. A quality grand is really a necessity for the advanced student, especially if further education such as university training is planned.

What is the difference between a $10,000 grand piano and a $100,000 piano.

Simply put the more expensive pianos offer more control to the performer and higher quality sound. 而大钢琴从7,000 -30,000 is adequate for most advanced students and music majors, there is usually an advantage for advanced students found in the more expensive instruments. 当然是一种昂贵的仪器, 30,000-100,000 is a necessary expense for a real performing artist.
This quality of instrument will match with what is found in most concert halls.

An example of probably the number one brand in this category would be Steinway and Sons http://www.steinwaylosangeles.com/
