If you have decided to buy your first musical keyboard from yamaha,Yamaha Musical Keyboard - What is a suitable keyboard for Beginner? Articles then here is what you need to consider. Yamaha has a wide range of keyboards suitable for beginners, intermediate as well as advanced players, so it can get difficult to focus on what you want.
 
You need to go in for a Yamaha keyboard that has touch response keys. An important aspect of learning to play keyboards is to play it with expression, and not just in a monotonous way. Touch sensitive keys are a must for that reason because then not all notes are played with the same volume, you can change it by applying different force. Besides, a keyboard with touch response keys also teaches your fingers to have better control over the keys.
 
Another thing is to buy a Yamaha keyboard that has at least sixty-one keys. This is important if you want to seriously learn the keyboard. If you go in for a keyboard with lesser number of keys, you will nit be able to use your left hand. That means you will not be able to learn and play chords together with the melody; though you can learn the basics like learning to play the notes and timing, you will not be able to learn to harmonize.
 
So what are the options? Yamaha YPT, PSR and lighted series keyboards are something that you can consider. You may even consider used-keyboard if you are on a tight budget. Cost is obviously an important aspect to keep in mind.
 
It should not be a problem to use a pre-owned keyboard since Keyboards generally last for many years. You should even consider having a look at if you want something that is a bit cheaper.
