Playing a piano
Normally people think to learn musical instruments you will have to start young but to be honest it is never too late to learn any instrument. Depends on which instrument you are learning but if you are just learning to play digital pianos, I recommend getting tuitions from an expert rather than trying to learn it through online resources - the best thing about learning from an expert is you won’t have to buy your own gear untill you are good and when you know a great deal about the instrument you will know where to get a good deal from - saves a lot of money. As you are a new starter it is hard for you to understand the keys/codes so it is wise for someone who is an expert to be there and hold your hand till you get used to the codes.
First thing you need to know is the different between acoustic piano and digital piano. An acoustic instrument is always the best to start with no matter which music instrument you want to learn. This is simply because it generates the original sound. Acoustic pianos have heavy key touch so playing this regularly will make it easier for you to play light touch piano such as keyboard pianos. The only negative thin I can think about an acoustic piano is the size, whether you have enough space in your house to fit one.
If you start learning with digital pianos, the disadvantage would be that you will find it difficult to play the acoustic piano because of it’s heavy keys. Not only piano but many guitar learners will face the same piano if they learn from electric guitars, it’s hard for them to play acoustic guitars.
Another advantage acoustic piano has over digital piano is that, it has a long life and if something does go wrong while playing digital piano then to fix it, it will can be quite expensive. Digital pianos are mostly used by musicians and recording artists. They can use it to create background sounds for their music, record it in their PC and do all sort of other things.
I was 4 years when I started to play the piano. My parents chose acoustic piano for me to start on and I can safely say that after 23 years of playing acoustic does generate a clear and original sound than the digital piano. Doesn’t matter if you are playing guitars or acoustic pianos it’s always good to start early.
It also depends on why you want to learn to play the piano. Is it for your kids? Is it just to mock about? Is it because you love music?
