Although it may not feature some of the cool integrated tools that define other keyboard types, the beginner keyboard is a great piece of kit to simply pick up and start playing. This is not to say that the beginner keyboard doesn’t have any useful functions, but rather that much of what is present is there with the intention of primarily helping you pick up notes and learn cords. A range of accompaniment styles as well as links for online resources and song books are common with beginner keyboards and can help you take your first steps into the beautiful world of keyboards.

What To Look for When Buying a Beginner Keyboard

Without major prior research, choosing the right beginner keyboard can end up feeling like you’re being assaulted by musical jargon and industry-relevant abbreviations, let our team at Fair Deal Music help you choose the perfect musical instrument for you with the help of our guide below.

Sound

Most keyboards on the market look to emulate the classical sound of the piano (at least when not using composing functions), by adhering to the universal standards any skills you pick up will be highly transferable. A good portion – if not all – of the learning material for learning the keyboard is produced with the default setup in mind, using anything other than the default will likely only serve to cause further confusion.

Please note that many beginner keyboards come with their own resources and song books.

Size

The sizing selection for a beginner keyboard will very much depend on the person who will be using it. By their very nature, many musical instruments are designed with adults in mind leading to children often struggling to reach far-away keys, it’s important to keep this in mind as smaller keyboards and those with mini keys are available. Keyboards such as the Yamaha PSS-A50 are great examples of instruments that are smaller due to being designed for portability.

Computer Connectivity

For students with an ardent interest in electronic music and potentially going on to compose something themselves, computer connectivity is a must. While it’s not fundamentally necessary when learning how to play, linking your keyboard to a computer can give you access to additional tools that can help you learn the basics.

Accessories

While many of our beginner keyboards are ready to be played straight out of the box, there are an assortment of accessories available through our catalogue at Fair Deal Music that can help you create a functional environment in which you can play and compose. Keyboard bundles are also available for many beginner models and are comprised of headphones, stands, stools – and of course – the keyboard itself.
