yea... thanks will do
in a week and half im gonna but the keyboard
thanks for everything

Its difficult to find a keyboard teacher. Piano teachers abound. You can play piano on the PSR300 in 'Full keyboard mode' and also use it as an arranger in 'arranger mode'. It is also possible to play the piano voice in full keyboard mode and trigger auto-accompaniment, as long as the auto-accompaniment can figure out the chord your playing by combining the left and right hand.
Playing style is different on a piano, but it doesn't hurt to learn how to play like that, or learn both.
Have fun.

Any body that can play piano and have good knowledge of music theory which normaly is the case will already be able to play the arranger.
But I dont know anybody who learned to play the arranger can automatically play the piano.

If you only play the piano you can play the arranger.

If you only play the arranger you will not be able to play the piano.

dazart, I disagree slightly...the average trained classical pianist, would have a heck of a time trying to master the arranger..Why, most seem not to be trained well in theory, and are uncomfortable playing chords or understanding the chord progressions..They usually are trained to be strong site readers and playing technics..Many do not portray the emotion that none classical students can show...

Maybe in piano mode they can get by, and I mean that literally...
Keep in mind, I am referring to the average classical trained pianist..

Your other points are valid, although, there are some of us that can play both...

okok .. so how i'm gonna learn playing in arranger all the songs i like and make some of my own (in future of course), should i take a piano teacher ?? would it improve my current-none arranger/organ skills?

it sure will -

how old are you ?

almost 23

You need to answer this question: Do you want to play a piano or an arranger?
The PSR3000 can do both, but they are played differently (see Fran's post above).
IMO, a TRUE piano player will not be able to trigger the arranger function. If the pianist some how plays a chord with a combination of left and right hand, then it will work, but this is not the way a TRUE pianist plays.

of course the simple solution is to get the PSR3000 (which I am seriously considering myself to do smaller gigs) and then an 88-note keyboard for a controller, that way you get the best of both. I trigger my Pa1X Pro with an $800 Yamaha DGX-500. Works great and I like the piano sound better!
