Piano or Keyboard? Choosing the Right Starter Instrument

Jun 28, 2025

Should beginners start on a piano or keyboard? Here’s a quick guide.


Acoustic piano

  • Rich tone and weighted keys

  • Great for long-term progress

  • Needs space and tuning


Digital piano

  • Weighted keys, volume control

  • More affordable, compact

  • Close feel to acoustic piano


Keyboard

  • Lightweight and budget-friendly

  • Best for casual play or testing interest

  • Limited touch and tone quality


Takeaway

If budget allows, a digital or acoustic piano sets students up best. But a keyboard can be a good short-term start. At Melovia in Pasir Ris, we guide parents on the best choice for their child or adult lessons.
