Everyone has to start somewhere. For young musicians - budding keys players in particular - a purpose-made piano is a great way to explore the world of music and boost motor skills like hand coordination.
Pianos for Kids
A piano for kids could mean anything. It could just as easily refer to a toy piano for toddlers as it could to a cheap digital piano. To spare you any confusion, let's just make it clear that we're not talking about actual toys or those large piano-key play mats here.
From Kid's Pianos to Fully-Fledged Pianos
If you're not sure if your kid is instantly going to fall in love with the digital piano, it's a good idea to start off with a more affordable model. Just like acoustic pianos, most digital pianos are equipped with 88 keys, but you'll also find models fitted with 61 keys, for instance. A lower number of keys doesn't necessarily have to be a deal-breaker since, at first, most beginners rarely use the highest and lowest notes.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Children's Piano
Is a keyboard for kids the better choice over a children's piano?
Keyboards are loaded with various different instrument sounds and rhythms that can be used to play entire songs. Children's pianos are purely focussed on piano sounds, so if your kid's already enjoying Bach or Beethoven and will want to take piano lessons in the future, a purpose-made piano for kids is the best option.
Are kid's pianos like toy pianos?
While we do have a couple of inexpensive toy pianos for the youngest of music-makers, these are nothing like the fully-fledged, lesson-ready digital pianos for kids that we stock.
What's a baby piano?
A baby piano is a little toy piano for toddlers and is not to be confused with a baby grand piano, which is essentially a slightly smaller grand piano.
Are there any piano songbooks for kids?
Yes, there are special piano music books that contain tons of songs that kids know and love.
What's the best way for kids to learn to play the piano?
The best learning method is to take lessons and have a practice routine in between. Kids that take lessons are usually seeing their teacher at least 30 minutes a week. It's best to practise for 30 minutes or longer on a daily basis, either playing a real piano or a digital piano. Kids can usually play full-size keys without any problems.
