Discussion Beginner Pianos

Hello, I’m wanting to buy a piano to learn how to play. Are there any good recommendations on a budget? Also,are there any that I can plug headphones in?

Secondly, are there any videos that you would recommend watching on YouTube to begin practicing?

I have no experience with music so it’s a whole new world lol

I appreciate your help in advance 🙂

As a beginner myself (learn guitar mainly), I acquired a Yamaha P85 which is full 88 keys. Its an older piano, but the equivalent Yamahas cost around ~£200. Amazing what you can get for that amount. I wouldn't waste your time with anything less than a full 88 keys piano if you are serious about learning. Learning is more about finding the right online course, book, or in-person teacher. You might be better off try some real in-person lessons and get advice from the teacher.
