Question:

Piano or keyboard lessons?

I want to learn to play the piano, but we don't have the money or room to buy a piano.(Unless anyone knows where i can get one for under $300). Anyways i was wondering if i could take piano lessons and practice on a keyboard or if i should look for someone giving keyboard lessons?

Answer:

Classical Piano lessons.
You could get piano lessons on a keyboard, but not a 300 dollar one full, 88 key keyboards, with weighted keys (which is what you need) can run $650 and up into the thousands.
Of course you can practice on a keyboard while taking piano lessons. If you buy a nice keyboard, especially if it has al 88 keys, you should not notice much a difference between the piano and keyboard. Low quality keyboards are less responsive than a piano in that when you press down a key, no matter much or how little force you use, the volume does not change. Even if you can only get a cheap keyboard, you will still be able to use it while taking piano lessons.
