being a beginner who wants to learn piano sendiri, and our house dont have any piano or keyboard >_<

is it possible to learn songs from friend directly instead of kaji how the keys/tones in the music score?

wanted to learn some song in the end of the year during school holiday, maybe future kaolui can use biggrin.gif

Ah, thanks for all the advices!! it really gives me a clearer image of piano-ing.

indeed, being a spm-taker, i will have about 6 months of holidays after my exam, so i'm looking for something new to learn. i not actually like those rock music or getting involved in bands (but maybe i'll after i get addicted? xD) , but more on soloing some classic music when i'm at home for leisure or playing some latest song which can "impress" my friends (let it be chinese or english songs, jay's~ leehom's~ or when i getting pro can play maksim songs? drool.gif ) *actually i wanted to play some love song for my brother in his wedding next yr biggrin.gif *

the kaolui purpose i mentioned in a few post earlier is just joking la~ but learning new thing is great, isnt it? life long learning ma thumbup.gif =D

perhaps i shall pay a visit to some music stores nearby and check with the price.

E hem,

so indeed for my case I can just get a controller (which is cheaper) and link it to my computer to produce sound, right?

I see the M-audio keystation 88ES controller is just about RM1k, which is quite good in budget, for a beginner like me.

despite having to connect to a computer in order to play, there is no other aspect i have to worry or think about liao, isnt it ?

since i'm travelling to other state to play i need a really portable one to be with me, perhaps this little thing will solve my problem?
