Jazz and classical piano

Lukien · 10-27-2013, 04:13 AM

Hi all,

I've decided to start taking piano lessons as a hobby, to cover some of the songs that i like. So i took a look at the yamaha website, and they have jazz piano and classical piano lessons. I'm totally new to music theory, so i'm not sure which one is more suitable for me.

I read online that as a beginner, it is better to start with classical piano, as it provides a solid foundation for you, whereas jazz piano requires more improvisation, which maybe more complicated for a beginner. Any advice? If i want to cover my favourite metal songs, which one would be more suitable?

I'm totally new to learning musical instruments so any advice feel free to say, thank you

Edit: Oh and whats the price range for a beginner piano?
