Hello,
as a new student I will be traveling a lot for work. Is there a very small keyboard that I can take along with me for practice? I don't want to buy something cheap that won't feel right either. I was thinking of getting a MIDI keyboard that has weighted keys for practice. Since I am in bootcamp most of the notes are within one octave so would a 25 key work to keep my fingers in check?? The Akai MPK 225 was the one that I have been eyeballing..
Is this a good plan or would something else be better for a newb?
Thank you

I'd recommend a 49 key MIDI controller. that'll enable you to play all the rookie material once you get there!
Alesis or Novation would be my go to's.

Thank you both for your replies, very helpful!

I like the idea of a midi 25 key. By using the octave shift you should be able to practice the single had routines. I have a 61 and 49 so I might try it to round out my collection.
