fun fingernails
Painting your nails with a fun, glow-in-the-dark polish that shines under black light adds a playful touch to your piano performances, especially in low-light settings. Opt for vibrant colors or creative patterns that illuminate when the lights dim, creating an eye-catching visual effect as your fingers glide across the keys. Just make sure to keep your nails at a comfortable length, so your playing remains smooth and precise while showing off your unique style.

Pianos & Keyboards
Finding a good instrument that fits into your budget is important. Here are a few instruments I recommend at different price points. All of the instruments listed have touch sensitivity (able to control dynamics by touch). I will note what type of weighted action the keys have if the info is available; semi-weighted, graded-weighted, fully-weighted.

KORG GBAIRBK 5.0⭐️ digital console on stand and triple pedal
Roland F702-LA 4.4⭐️ digital console on stand and triple pedal
Different types of pedal:
foot-switch (I recommend upgrading to a better pedal)
sustain pedal
triple pedal (has all 3 found on acoustic pianos)
Different types of action:
Semi-weighted keys are weighted heavier than most keyboards which have light synthesizer action.
Fully-weighted keys are heavier keys like an acoustic piano.
Casio’s “smart scaled” and Yamaha’s “GHS graded action” are similar. Each refers to the fact that the lower keys are a heavier weight than the higher keys. Yamaha’s GHS is lower end and GH or GH3 is an upgrade.
