We will be in touch
After watching the mighty Elbow at glasto on iplayer, I'm inspired to use a forthcoming birthday to pick up a keyboard and try and learn to play.
Any tips? I learned the piano up to grade 3 way back in the day so can read music, but could do with some good resources for learning again.
And any recommendations on an instrument to buy? Budget is ~£100
Thanks hivemind!

Ok, it's a game peripheral, but it's actually quite a clever way of learning to play properly if you put it in 'pro' mode.
Though, at grade 3, you're probably looking for something a bit more serious...!
Is that a keytar? Awesome ....
In order of importance (IMO) you'll want to look for full size keys, weighted action and touch/velocity sensitivity.
For your budget you'll only get an approximation of a realistic sound but enough to know if you want to go further.
