I researched the keyboard I have before I bought it, and people said that for its price it was really good. It's supposed to have a weighted keyboard just like a real piano. (It's a Casio PX-100, have I been misled? Probably, but I like it well enough)
My family owns a piano, so I can always go to that to see the difference between the real thing and the keyboard. I don't use it because it can't stay in tune (there is a crack in some board) and because it would cause such a ruccus in the house.
I'm learning the nocturne first because that's all the musical score I have in the house as of yet, and I can't get a tutor because I am now nearly bankrupt and I live in the middle of nowhere.
I think I'll end up getting a dvd or software.
Anyways, I definetly think I'll get into jazz piano--I like Art Tatum's "Jitterbug Waltz" very much, but I'm a LONG way off
. Also, a keyboard should be fun because I can make the keys make all these wacky sounds
...I think...
Eventually I wan't to start playing music from Final Fantasy video games (it's surprisingly good stuff for a game).
Thanks for the input!
PS- I almost bought a guitar instead, as you can play it at parties and girls fall all over you. Really strange, how that works...I have a cousin who lied to a girl and said he could play guitar, and she slept with him just like that. (The next morning must have been hilarious when she found out the truth
) But piano has some of the absolute best music for any intrument.
