WHAT IF I DON'T OWN A PIANO OR OTHER INSTRUMENT?In order for you to get started right away with lessons it is important to have an instrument to practice on.

There are many options out there for keyboards, with a wide range of models and prices. You do not necessarily need a high-end keyboard to start.
