Interesting replies... Electric pianos are fine if parents purchased quality ones. When I was teaching some students came with 32 key Wal-Mart Casio’s (with smaller keys than standard pianos). Though music appreciation, chords and theory can be taught on such instruments, piano playing can't. A good 88 weighted-key electric piano would be in the $2,000 range. I doubt most parents would consider that price. Anything less in a keyboard would just be discouraging to the student that actually wanted to play piano. My opinion on electric pianos… good for recordings (since all recordings are electrical anyway, including acoustic piano recordings), but give me the real thing for playing “live”. Jeez, I can be such a snob...  John

"We are all millionaires, billionaires even, because right now we have today. And today is worth more than all the wealth we can imagine. So spend today wisely. Spend tomorrow wisely. Enjoy the wealth of today, and realize it is worth far more than all the money and possessions of tomorrow and beyond." -Brian Austin Whitney
