The instrument you choose will depend on your skill level. It also depends on whether you are still a beginner or already capable of playing the digital piano to some extent. If you are already at a decent level, you may prefer a full 88-key digital piano. However, if you are just starting out, a simpler and more compact digital keyboard or piano may be more suitable.

Now, why are seventh chords so important to start with? Because this chord type serves as the foundation for ALL contemporary chords, without exception.

By starting with this chord structure and learning it in all 12 keys, you establish a solid foundation to build upon. This approach prevents confusion. For example, in the key of C major, we have 7 chords: C Major 7, D minor 7, E minor 7, F Major 7, G7, A minor 7, and …
