How do I add suggestions my keyboard?

An electric keyboard?

• I'm interested in teaching myself to play piano. But I want to add cool beats and rhythms, like a keyboard can. I'm looking for one that can collaborate all of the separate instruments I play into a song, because I write my own lyrics for fun. I also want one that's a reasonable price but still works pretty good. Any suggestions?

• Answer:

  Depends on your idea of reasonable. Most keyboards, even the inexpensive ones, have a bunch of sounds, including drums. The main difference is how good those sounds will be. Might sound a little fake on the cheaper keyboards. The basic Yamaha and Casio keyboards have decent sounds at the lower price. If you have a little more money, something like a Yamaha Motif or a Roland RD will give you better sounds. Another option is to use your computer, especially if you are planning to add vocals. You can use a program like GarageBand or Cubase to record everything. Plus, you can load great sounds. Then it matter less what kind of keyboard you get because the computer will be playing the sounds. Welcome to piano! Good luck!
