I've been learning piano since 1995. I began with a acoustic piano (only the first year because it was crashed). The question is: Can I learn to play piano with my digital piano? Thanks!!! >> You can learn the basic fingering and scales from a digital piano. But it will not replace the escapement that an acoustic piano has. Sound from a digital is produced electronically. Sound from an acoustic piano is produced mechanically. Also it is a matter of investment. What will the digital piano be worth after you own it a year? Technology such as computers changes an average of every 18 months. Pianos do not. They will retain the investment much better. Food for thought. Dave Peake, RPT Portland, OR
