Is learning piano on a keyboard just as effective as learning on a grand/upright piano?
Since the layout of keys for both electronic keyboards and pianos are the same, keyboards could be effective for beginners. However, Pianos have more ���action��� than keyboards (i.e. how the keys feel when pushed down, whether they are light or heavy). So learning on a keyboard may not prepare a person for the heavier feeling of piano keys. If a piano is too costly or large, another option is learning on a keyboard with weighted keys that feel much more similar to a piano.
