Sorry im kinda late. Haha. I play keyboard. My favorite is the red and beautiful nord stage 2. I use a marshall to amp although its a guitar amp . I like neoclassicals. jens johansson, jordan rudess and derek sherinian are among my favorite shredders. First question, how can i get a nord stage 2. I mean, what is the price? Where is the store?

If you're considering RM1 - 3k range of keys, Roland got a better looking keyboard. At this range, Yamaha keys are looking like kiddo stuff. I mean the design is just eeerrhhh.. No offense Yamaha owners. I played a kiddo Yamaha too.. But if money is not a problem, Yamaha offers plenty of top class keys too. And so do Roland.

Added on July 4, 2012, 12:24 amSorry. Been busy with studies lately. And since I'm on a holiday, I'll try to give a piece of my mind. Idk much about keyboard so I'm very sorry if it wont help. Like they said, just to keep the forum alive! Cheers.

Yes keyboard is suitable. Being an organ-trained keyboardeur myself, I think it's good enough FOR A START. However, when your grades are higher, it is no longer suitable. You need to get a full organ. This is because you're going to play all your right and left hand alongside the bass pedal together. See, organ pieces is quite 'lively' hehe.. So it's up to you actually, start small or go big. To me, I start small. Because in the end, I'll have a big rig: 1 key 1 organ .

That is a good-start-rig. Sorry I cant help on rock school stuffs since I'm not even in KL. Anyway, Keep playing!

Idk but according to http://www.cmmusic.com.my/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=15 as on 4th July, Roland Juno D is RM2600. That is way beyond your budget. I recommend Casio CTK7000 or Casio WK6500 which is according to the link, is RM1999 and RM1890 respectively. Here is a little advice. Choose a keyboard with the most function and still within your budget. Of course, you need to consider sounds, rhytms, key-type, number of keys etc2.. For an amp, I dont really bother since me myself is using Marshall MG30FX. I mean, I just love Marshall Amps.

So you're telling that changing keyboard sound is hard? Just an opinion. I do not agree nor disagree with you. I have to say that there is no one, standard way to play a keyboard. If you start learning piano lessons and ended up playing keyboard, you will have that piano style of playing. If you start taking organ lessons and ended up playing keyboard, you will have that organ style of playing. For example and from what I see, a piano-taught keyboardeur is playing Cmaj chord: C, G, E. However, organ-trained will press: G, C, E. And however, again, keyboard opened up to many styles. After countless hours of practice and covering songs, you'll end up with the keyboard-style.

Idk about the rate nowadays but seems that the price at my time was around that range. I didnt take piano lessons. I just look at the rate displayed at my tuition center. Anyway, better look whether the certificate you'll get is recognized or not. Of course, the more recognized it is, the more expensive it will be. Happy boardin'
