It’s hard not to notice the change in piano playing around the country.
Music programs are being pulled from elementary school in favor of STEM activities and sports. Data shows that the level of piano sales continues to fall since its all-time high around the turn of the century.
But does that mean playing piano is a dying art?
You only have to turn on your radio to discover that isn’t the case.
Forming a band is still high on a young person’s wish list. Kids at every age love picking up an instrument and discovering music. 
But now, for some, it might not be a traditional acoustic piano. They may be opting for digital instead.
Traditional pianos tend to have a little more nostalgia built into them. People select them because they remember sitting around the piano at grandma’s house. Or they remember learning on one at home.
Yet when they look at their current lifestyle, they no longer see a traditional piano fitting in. They have smaller spaces and don’t have the room. They have different activities all day long and need more flexibility in how they play.
And that’s where digital pianos can excel.
If you select a good digital piano, they will play and function just like their acoustic counterparts. But they have added details that can make them more functional in your busy lifestyle.
Their size makes them more convenient to move and stow away when not in use.
Use headphones for silent practice; different people can be in the same room doing different things.
Being digital means a player has fluidity and can move their songwriting skills online to play, mix, and share however they choose.

These new innovations may seem the same but they are in fact very different. So what are the differences between portable keyboards and digital pianos? It all comes to their size, their features, and how much they cost.
