Is Purchasing a Piano a neccessity?

This question will be on your minds when you would like the children to take up piano lessons.

Well, the solution is to not invest heavily in a baby grand or a grand piano first. There are cheaper alternatives for example, the upright piano and it should not cost more than SGD5,000.

Although there are many brands of piano out in the stores, it would be wise to look at your budget before making a rash decision. If possible, purchase the piano when the child has taken at least two to three sessions of the piano sessions. Talk to the piano teacher and assess the timing of purchase the piano. The budget should be considered before looking at the brands as well as the types of pianos available.

Do consider starting on a keyboard if a piano is not readily available to you. My personal preference is still for a piano over a keyboard. This is largely because, piano-playing is a family centric activity. Pianos are often gathering places that can be enjoyed by the entire family. With proper upkeep, maintenance, playing them and keeping them tuned they'll last for generations to come.
