What kind of piano keyboard is best for beginners?

Piano keyboards are available as weighted and unweighted. Both are suitable for a beginner, but a weighted keyboard is best if you want to play an acoustic piano.

What's the difference between a 61-note keyboard and an 88-note keyboard?

A 61-note keyboard is compact, saves space, and is less expensive. A 61-note keyboard has a shorter 5-octave range, so it's not good for playing classical music. An 88-note keyboard has a range of 7 octaves, so all types of music can be played.

Is a keyboard harder to play than a piano?

A keyboard can be easier to play, especially for children, because the keys are much lighter than piano keys. A child who has yet to build finger strength can learn to play piano on a keyboard. When finger strength develops, usually around age 8, the child can move to an acoustic piano.
