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.

Agreed Simon. Mac, 61-key semi-weighted k/b and GarageBand. Unbeatable. I used GBand for ages, but have moved on to Logic 9 Pro and would still recommend GBand for anyone who wants to have TONS of fun learning with the iTunes-delivered piano or guitar tutorials.
