| It just ain't the same |

Digital keyboards, even with touch-senstive, weighted keyboards, simply do not feel the same as a real piano. Anyone learning on a digital piano would basically have to start from scratch learning how to play a real piano properly. It's not just the finger strength. You can do fingering things on a digital piano (eg. stretches) that you can't get away with on a real piano because of the heavier touch.
There's also differences in phrasing. Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata' looks deceptively easy on paper but is actually difficult to play because the melody is mostly on your baby finger, and you have to play octaves with different touches between your thumb and baby finger. It's pretty much impossible to play on a digital keyboard. If you've been learning on a digital, then you don't have the strength in your baby finger to play it on a real piano.
Put the piano in the basement and throw a couple of blankets over it to muffle the sound. |
