Older uprights that have never been maintained and only used as furniture will cost you more to move/repair and sound far worse than a new digital instrument. Be very careful in choosing a used "free" upright piano over a new digital piano. If the budget allows, a digital piano with weighted keys that simulates the action of a real piano is even better. While it's wonderful if you have an acoustic piano or have the budget to invest in one, all you really need to get started in lessons is an electronic keyboard with at least 61 keys that are full sized and touch sensitive. Our Academy Press also recently released our debut method for the young beginner titled, " Piano Prodigy Primer A". For jazz students, we recommend, "The Jazz Piano Book" by Mark Levine.

The most common beginning piano books that we keep in stock are Faber & Faber, Bastien, and Alfred. Our piano instructors at LAAPA teach from a variety of method books and will recommend the most appropriate text based on the age and goals of the student.
