My daughter is 6 years old and we are planning on starting piano lessons here in a few weeks. We have a neighbor that is teaching them on the side, so it is really convenient for us.
My question is in regards to the piano - we don't own a real piano and I was wondering if a full-size 88 key digital piano would suffice. I'm not ready to plunk down $2k on a piano when she's never had a lesson. We could rent, but the first month with delivery, etc. is $250, and then $50 a month after that. There's a Casio Digital piano at Costco for $489 that seems like it would work. Do you think it be okay to have a piano like that to practice on?
