What’s the difference between keyboard lessons and piano lessons?

Posted on February 24th, 2010 by admin

I just bought myself an electronic keyboard and i’m planning to learn it online. I googled for lessons and most of the links are for piano lessons. So is it okay if i learn to play the electronic keyboard with online piano lessons? (for eg. http://www.zebrakeys.com/lessons/) Or do electronic keyboards have their own specific lessons and are different from piano lessons?

i would appreciate it if i can get links for some of the best electronic keyboard lessons online also!

Thanks a bunch!!!!!!!!!! :D
Keyboards and acoustic pianos play the same notes and the same rhythms, but keyboards have additional features such as multiple sounds, background accompaniment, recording capability, MIDI capability, etc. Keyboards are usually portable and do not always have the full 88 keys. Digital pianos are digital keyboard instruments that are less portable than typical keyboards and have all 88 keys, but have a few of the digital features, such as a limited number of additional sounds.

To learn to play the keyboard, start with piano lessons to learn the basics. Then you will need to focus on learning the style of music that you wish to play. Classical music is usually played on an acoustic piano, or at least a digital piano. Popular music, jazz, rock, country, etc. are often played on keyboards.
