The Keyboard

 The Keyboard


What the is the difference between a piano and a keyboard?

A 'piano' is an acoustic instrument with weighted keys whereas a 'keyboard' is an electric instrument (requiring a power source) with unweighted (lighter) keys than a piano. But pianos need to be tuned regularly, which can be expensive. Keyboards never need to be tuned.

Keyboards are also much more easy to transport as they are quite, slim and rectangular, as pianos are big, bulky and heavy.

• He and Bob Dylan both released their debut albums in 1962
• Wonder has two sons with Kai Millard: Kailand and Mandla. He also has two children with wife Tomeeka.

Keyboard reflection.

I really enjoyed playing the keyboard because it was nice and easy to learn and understand. I often got a bit slow around the chorus because I usually memorise the chords. I was playing shallows by lady gaga. That was one of the more easier options, I originally started playing old town road but found that a bit tricky so I switched to the shallows.
