Still Working on the Piano Classes

Help me give my students the piano lab suitable for learning on the high school level. Full 88-key weighted keyboards and not the small half sized ones from the elementary/middle schools.

My Project

It’s one of two beginning music classes for the students to take as an elective their junior/senior year. The other class is beginning guitar. More students are taking these classes every year with the enrollment increasing every year.

The classes have grown to the point it’s a complete year of piano and not a semester.

Almost finished trying to update the 1996 piano lab to fit the needs of the students now.

I am requesting keyboards which are full 88 keys and not the 43 key models from before where I had to try and fit two students to one keyboard.
