The Best Keyboards for Beginners
Which keyboard should you start with?
For beginners, keyboards should be easy to use, affordable, and versatile. However, you shouldn’t miss out on important features — for example, accompaniment styles. A good auto-accompaniment function follows your playing with bass and chords, like a well-rehearsed backing band, and delivers rhythm patterns based on the selected style. This allows even beginners to quickly enjoy their first sense of achievement. This effect can be enhanced with an integrated learning function. From the very beginning, your keyboard playing will have a structured approach and support your sense of rhythm.
Keyboard features and components
At first, 61 keys and 5 octaves might be sufficient, making the keyboard more compact and affordable. However, if you're using it as a stepping stone toward piano playing, a model with 76 or 88 keys would be more advisable. All features of the following models — from velocity sensitivity to connectivity options for external devices like an amplifier — can be found in the detailed product view.
