Buying a Keyboard

If you want to start off with a keyboard, Fountain Tutors can recommend a keyboard to suit your level, will be able to supply one to fit within your budget and arrange for it be delivered directly to your door. The following keyboards are carefully selected to be especially suitable for beginners. They have been chosen for their optimal level of performance, durability and value for money.

Each model has 61 full-size keys, a five-octave range, which is wide enough to cover almost any pieces that are written for the piano, organ or electronic keyboard. All of these models feature:

i) Full-size keys, important for developing the correct
hand position that can transfer onto any other keyboard instrument including the piano.

ii) A virtual grand piano sound created from Yamaha’s famous sampling technology.

iii) A wide range of other instruments and sounds accessible at the touch of a couple of buttons.

iv) A varied selection of pre-programmed rhythmic accompaniment tracks that may be conducted with
an easy-to-learn single-finger style key change.

v) The potential to create sophisticated performances
with practice and perseverance, using the complete functionality of the electronic instrument.

As the price increases, this is effectively an indication of a broader range of the same basic functions. However the additional feature of touch sensitivity is offered at the top end, which will allow the student to transfer their skills to a real piano more easily later on.

The models of keyboard that are recommended below are for learners with a smaller budget:

“Starter Keyboard” Cost : £97.95
134 Voices | 100 Styles | 4 Drum-Kits | 102 Songs

“Education Keyboard” Cost : £122.99
375 Voices | 100 Styles | 12 Drum-Kits | 102 Songs
| “Concert Hall” Reverb
