A Beginner Keyboard/Pianist

[ASheffielder 10]

Hi all, just bought my first keyboard, was wandering if when I learn to play will it be transferrable to a full sized piano? and how long would It take for a complete beginner to play confidently?

 

Thanks

Standard keyboards and pianos have the same layout, so yes, if you learn to play using a keyboard then you can play piano too. The notes are all in the same order.

An acoustic piano has an altogether different feel under the fingers than a keyboard.

A lot of people find it disheartening when switching from one to the other.

Digital pianos are a compromise-not ideal,even with weighted keys.

As for how long it takes to become confident-everyone learns at such different speeds,difficult to answer.

Lots of teachers in Sheffield though-make sure you find someone qualified-too many amateurs with a rudimentary knowledge passing themselves off as competent when they're anything but.
