I would like to learn to play the piano and want to start on an electronic keyboard because of the options they offer. Problem is, as a beginner it looks like too many choices for making an expensive decision. Does anyone have any keyboard recommendations for a beginner? Thanks for your help with this.

Thanks for the suggestion... something I hadn't even thought about and will do more research. Also thanks to you Wayne for suggesting the websites. I was surprised to see how much prices have fallen. When I first started looking about 3 years ago, good boards were at least $300. I am glad to see less expensive options, and it makes more sense to start out at $100 rather than $300.

I think you'd be okay with any basic keyboard; it's the supplementary learning material that teaches you how to play that really matters. Try a multifaceted approach for the best chance of success: read books, watch videos, and even consider hiring out a good tutor.
