I am Dr. Maria Pisarenko, D.M.A., a concert pianist and university piano professor, and every item here is something I would be glad to see in a student's home: a keyboard with a real touch, headphones for daily practice, a bench at the right height, a light to read by, a simple way to record yourself and send me your playing for free feedback, and gifts for the musicians in your life. Amazon sells and ships everything; I choose it.

Why trust a concert pianist's store?

I recommend this gear because it is what my adult students need to work through my free 41-lesson course and, later, to use with my upcoming method books. I am a concert pianist and a university piano professor, and these are the kinds of tools I look at first when a student asks what to buy.

Where should a new pianist start?

What do buyers ask about this online piano store?

Is this an online piano store?

Yes, a curated one: it is my store of recommendations. You browse here, and every purchase happens on Amazon, which sells, ships and handles returns. I choose each item as a concert pianist who teaches adults.

What should an adult beginner buy first?

An 88-key digital piano with weighted keys, a sustain pedal, an adjustable bench and a pair of closed-back headphones. Nothing else is needed to start.

Which piano accessories do I really need?

A piano-style sustain pedal, an adjustable bench, headphones and a light for the page. A metronome, a book clip and a dust cover come next.

Can I buy from outside the US?

The links go to Amazon.com, and Amazon ships many items internationally. Check delivery to your country on the listing before you order.

Are these affiliate links?

Yes. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. I do not print prices; open the listing on Amazon to check today's price.

Do you need to buy anything to begin?

No. The course is free, and so is feedback on your playing.
