If you are taking a piano class and told that you need to practice daily will a keyboard allow you to learn to play the piano if you are unable to go out and purchase a piano?

Yes and No Keyboards are great... if they have all 88 keys. You should not have to compromise your music because of the size of your keyboard. Also, dynamics (softs and louds) are VERY Important in music.

If you don't have a touch-sensitive keyboard, then you aren't really learning how to control your volume. So make sure also that the keyboard you have makes a loud noise when you hit a key hard and it is soft when you press a key softly. Most keyboards have volume controls anyway, but if you're begginning, I suggest touch-sensitive keys Yes of Course!

Of course you can learn to play the piano on a keyboard! Although the keys do have a different feel and touch, that shouldn't stop you from learning all the other parts of piano playing! Yes, you can learn on the keyboard!

Scale passages are one of the things you can really work on with a keyboard. This is because you don't need much feedback from the piano to play these. It is the combination of finger movements, wrist movements, arm movements, and body positioning that are active in these, as in all of piano playing, but these movements don't need you to make use of the keybed.Be aware, though, that keys have different weights, and this is even true of different piano makes, so that your fingers won't be able to attain the same speed on every instrument No, not really To be honest a keyboard cannot really help you.

The width of keys is different and a keyboard just doesn't have the 'feel' of a piano. If you cannot buy a piano I recommend getting a digital piano for a start as these tend to have the 'feel' of a piano however the is no true replacement for the real thing! One of the most important things in piano technique is relaxation.

One of the ways you achieve this, which is hard to explain without showing, is to use the rebound of energy that you get from the keybed. A keyboard can't mimic this kind of "bounce", which is absolutely necessary for propelling the hand around the piano without tension. However, this technique is only necessary with chord/octave figures, and you can navigate scalar passages without tension if you don't use the keybed It's better than nothing To a degree, you can at least associate the arrangement of the keys in relation to each other.

Use it until you can arrange to use a real piano. Of course the tone, and weight of the keys is distinctive to the piano, but when you have lemons, make lemonade It is better than nothing, but be aware that it is difficult to execute large jumps without some degree of tension, and the buildup of tension can really hamper the progress of your technique Depends You should always take college seriously, it is the classes you take to get to your career goals! If you are majoring in Performance of Music, you cannot have piano major and not have a real piano to practice on!

But if you are taking a course that it doesn't matter as much as how well you play, then yes If you are at a college, a piano should be accessible. Yes, it's difficult to get to one, as the music majors are using them all the time, but make the effort. If you're not at college, try and make use of your local school or church.

However, if the purpose of this class is to make you familiar with the piano as opposed to acquiring performance technique, you'll be okay Definitely Yes Keyboards are just like pianos; however, there is a different touch to the keys since piano keys are heaver. Most keyboards also have missing keys. A professional keyboard (also known as a portable grand piano) has all 88 keys, but there is still the lighter touch if you want to learn to play the piano and you can't afford a real one you should get the keyboard, I learnt to play the piano on a real one but whenever I play it on a keyboard there isn't much difference with my play(note that I said 'not much' not 'none) I have a friend who has a keyboard and whenever she plays my piano she doesn't struggle either Go to a friend's house, church, or school to see if they have a piano Sure, why not?

I have been playing/practicing piano on a keyboard for 7 years, I don't think it would've made a difference if I had a piano, I didn't have dynamics or a pedal, but as soon as I went to practice and used a real piano, I just used dynamics there, you don't really need to practice dynamics, it's just there, same with the pedal. I think practicing with a keyboard is fine. :) ish.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
