Are the keys on the xylophone the same on a piano?

The keyboard and piano are NOT the same, for a couple reasons:

- The piano has a wider range.

- It is more real and acoustic.

- Better to practice on than a keyboard.

If you are sending your child to piano lessons, it is best to buy a piano. A piano will teach them how to sit correctly, and how to actually press the notes far better than a keyboard will. And most keyboard keys are smaller than the piano's keys are, so that is not a good thing, if they want to practice right. Also, when your child reaches a higher level in piano, pieces will require more strength and power. If you happen to bang too much on the keyboard, the keys will break and the electronic sound will be damaged in time as well. However, a piano can take that kind of vigorous aggression.

Hope this helped!
