Help a beginner out please!

Hi this is my first post here and im asking for a little advice.

Basically i want a keyboard for playing piano as i want to learn to play scores like 'moonlight' etc. I also want some kind of teaching aid on board.

Theres one i saw today which i liked, its called the Yamaha DGX620 and is just short of

Since you want something with a "teaching aid on board", that places you squarely in the "home user" market.

I think you'll find most of the users here are using more "professional" models of keyboards so don't expect a response...

I'd say compare the features of the 2 and pick what seems to suit your needs better.

Just remember that the action and the piano sound will be inferior to more "professional" models.

In fact, you might want to check out the Radio Shack digital pianos (rebranded casio).

They have a pretty nice semi-weighted keyboard and a very usable sound (I've got one for practice and love it).

No synth sounds onboard but a good grand piano and usable electric piano (rhodes style). Strings are also usable in some contexts...

For classical music you definitely need a full-size keyboard. However, I don't believe that Yamaha keyboard is weighted, meaning the keys feel like a real piano. That's a personal choice.

I'm partial to Yamaha, however, for what you want to do, the DGX620 seems to be what you need. Notwithstanding, the best piano sounds come from Roland.

The better the sound and features, the more you have to pay to play.

yea if you want to play classical you NEED 88 (well atleast 76) fully weighted keys. So the afformentioned yamaha would probably be a good bet/

that would do nicely for what you want:
