Some Midi controlers have keys like a real piano. Look for a midi Controler with fully or semi weighted keys you want one with 88keys if your learing piano music. You can also by pedals. Some Virtual instruments require a powerful computer or laptop. You may want to get a DAW a Daw is software that turns your computer into a recording studio.

@buggiedoodoo A virtual piano is a piano uses your computer to produce the sounds, so all you need is a cheap plastic MIDI keyboard and a computer and the software ( eg Alicias Keys, or any other virtual piano software) then you have awesome piano sounds for justy a couple of hundred bucks!

Thankyou for explaining to me! Its pretty complicated to understand from the interview lol. That's so cool though! Alicia is such a nice person in so many ways, she even wants to share her piano playing skills with others who may not be able to afford it! She amazing :)

The virtual piano they're talking about is computer software that allows musicians and producers to have the piano sound without spending $50,000+ on a grand piano. The software allows people to produce the same sound with or without a keyboard.

This interview is good, but I don't understand it! I know they're talking about some "virtual piano" (I have no idea what that is) but she was saying something about people who can't afford pianos, and how this gives them the oppurtunity to play? I've wanted to play the piano for years, but haven't really been able to afford one. Can someone please explain what this thing is to me? I'd be really grateful if you could! :D
