Oh that I know - keyboard and piano sound different. But yes, I shall keep your comment in mind. Whenever I say,\"we shd get a good piano once and for all since the place we live is really unsuitable for moving big pieces of furniture.\", my hubby would roll his eyes and say 你有钱也不要这样！＂ He thinks I am :siao: to fork out $$ to buy a u1.
Even between Keyboard and Piano, there is a bit of difference when playing on them. But don't buy unless your child is firm. :moneyflies:Imami:
Oh like that ar.... hmm... I didnt think of it. I thought he would not be that discerning anyway.
Ok, time to find out more about keyboard..... -
I am not sure if I am the odd one. Actually I don’t have any Illusion about my kid learning music. Deep down, I have this strong feeling that he is not musically inclined and that even if he really learn to play a musical instrument, chances are he will not go very far (if grading can be a gauge, then I think I would have strike toto million dollar angbao draw - 1 winner - if he can reach grade 8). I just hope he has been given a fair opportunity and that he gives himself a chance to know music and himself better.

Not sure where I read it from. Something like.... If a child learns music, his/her IQ immediately increased by 10. Not really sure what it means. But should be beneficial for the child, I guess. Probably, that is also a reason why many parents want their children to learn Music. Will do a search for the article... :siam:

Also... The weight and the touch response. Get the U3.

Oh I hv read something along that line too. Here's what I take away from something I hv read - learning to play a piano is like a total Brain workout as it involves reading the notes, manning the foot pedals, listening to the sound and of course with both hands on the keys. While I am not so sure about the iq bit, I am sure such activities expand the capacity of the brain. This in turn will definitely be beneficial for academic learning.
My niece and nephew have been learning the piano for the past 10 yrs. Nephew at grade 8 practical (can't remember his theory, if I remembered correctly, it's grade 7) and niece at grade 6. Both are ip students. I am sure their learning to play the piano must have benefitted their school work in some ways. -

There is no concrete proof that learning piano increases IQ, but study did show that people who play piano regenerates brain nerves at faster rate than those who don't. Hence the advice of picking up a musical instrument to counter Alzheimer when we grow older.XiaoXin:

Beside learning to appreciate classical piano music, there are many good habits and principles that students can pick up while learning piano. These habits can then be applied to their academic study. For example learning how to organize and segment practice, time management, self-discipline, public presentation, setting goals, research skills, etc. -

Don't ever think of buying Wilhem Tell. it's not durable at all. The piano easily out of tune every tuning in 6 months, the keys touch very light as playing on the electronic keyboard.Hi all,

Not sure about Bosendorfer. Yamaha U1 it's not overprice, as it's really durable, even the 2nd hand U1 model.
