Hey, thanks for the longish reply! Yeah, the 'what piano should I get' is still a very wishy washy topic for me. I want a decent beginner thing, without investing a lot of money, because of how uncertain everything still is. I just want a good beginner keyboard for less than $200, but people keep saying that I should not miss out on weighted keys, but that'll bump up the price 2 or 3 times as much. How well do your portable piano skills translate over to a proper piano with strings anyway? Would you have a short period of getting accustomed to it and then it would work fine or does it take longer? How much of the skill would initially translate and how much after 2 weeks of switching? And thanks for the idea with filming myself, that's a great idea. Not only will it help me to critique myself and see where I can do better, but it will also show my progress and motivate me!
