Hello there, awesome video! 😊 Which good electric 88-key piano with weighted keys would you recommend for a beginner/intermediate player? I was looking into Alesis Prestige as a bit cheaper variant and Yamaha P45 as a bit more expensive one. I really need some guidance on the topic before I make the purchase, so please -help! 😊
Thank you! That's a good question, and I feel it really depends on the specific needs and goals of the student. If cost is the primary concern, any full-sized, weighted-keys keyboard will do. We use low-end Williams keyboards at my school and they suffice, but the quality is admittedly low. I also have a Casio Privia which was fairly inexpensive and has a decent sound/feel. I also like the onboard speakers, quick start up time, and light weight-it's perfect for teaching class, doing quick rehearsals with singers, etc. (I don't think they make this particular model anymore, though.) If the student is serious about learning, wants higher quality/more functionality, and/or wants an instrument they can grow into, then I would consider spending a bit more and getting a nicer keyboard-the Nord Pianos have a great feel, Yamaha is a good brand too. At the end of the day, the best thing to do is go into a musical instrument retail store (e.g., Guitar Center, Sam Ash, Sweetwater, etc.) and try the keyboards out. The best way to find the right instrument is to get your hands on it.
@@vmavideos Thank you for the answer! I managed to increase my budget by a bit, did a bit of research and decided to go with the Roland FP-30X. Would you say that’s a good choice overall?
@@faaustad I haven't played this exact model, but Roland is a good company and I like their products. I think this'll be a great choice for a beginner/intermediate player. At some point, you'll probably end up like me with 8 or 9 keyboards in your possession. This is only the beginning. :D
very clear thank you
Just came across you channel. You are a good teacher with very good explanations.
Just for personal reference😅 (9:49)
