Something like this: http://bavasmusic.com.au/store/behri...X610#location1
At the moment from Bavas - $220 plus your soft synth. |
I was going to suggest this as often a MIDI keyboard takes up less room that a full blown keyboard. Plus if you have iMac's in your home, GarageBand is a great starting point (I've used it with my Korg Triton a few times when mucking about).
Marc, my daughter uses my Korg Triton which is probably a bit too advanced but it does have semi-weighted keys (good for getting finger strength up if you don't have a full blown piano) and will last her a lot longer than some of the more cheaper (read < $200) types from Kmart. Try and find one that has nice strong keys, ones that are too light and plasticy can often make fingers lazy.
