Do I Need a Better Instrument?

The instrument you practice on every day should have weighted keys to develop agility and proper finger strength. If a piano is in poor repair, out of tune, with keys that stick or won’t sound at all, it is not going to be a very enjoyable experience to play it, and may actually contribute to developing poor piano habits over time. In many cases, a piano can be tuned or repaired, but if the problems you experience can’t be fixed, it’s time to consider a new instrument. Also, if you’re using a keyboard with less than 88 keys, look into getting something full-sized. If you have space in your home and in your budget, go ahead and go for an acoustic piano, but a good quality digital piano is also a great choice.
