So, what should i do next?

Hi you all!

Let me first introduce myself (read if you feel able to, and sorry bad english)

My first touch to keyboards was when i was seven or eight and my father bought organ in our home. My father is cantor in church, so, that's why he bought those organs.

I wasn't really interested of playing them, but when my father teached some basics i got interested. But it leasted only half year or something like that.

I got interested on keyboards 4 years(i was 12)  later and i bought very old roland synth. So i asked my father again to teach basics again. I played this old synth something like 8-9 years, mostly myself.I played some rock songs like: Van Halen: Jump, Queen Bohemian Rhapsody etc.

4 years ago, i got interested of classical music. I listened a lot of different kind of piano music (Liszt, Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann, Alkan, Bramhs, etc etc you know).

I started to play classical pieces with my old and crappy synth with only 61 keys no touch responsity. I started with Fur elise(cliche) and Rondo Alla Turca(another) and i played Czerny's and Hanon's exercises.

Then i learned some Chopin nocturnes(easy ones) and waltzes, Brahms hungarian dances and some easy Mozart pieces,  still with crappy old synth.

Then i heard first all Liszt's hungarian rhapsodies and then i decided it: i really need piano.  But i didn't have money to buy piano.

So i started to learn hr2 and hr6 with my synth. It was really annoying, because there was only 61 keys, so it was impossible to play those songs as they should (not to mention no touch responsity). But i played/learned hr2 and hr6(i knew these songs were too much for me, but they are so.....) something like 1 year (i still played some easy stuff with along with these). And i now can play them with synth, of course, i had to take some notes out, which is pity.

But, as 21 years old,  i have money to buy a piano and im going to buy it on summer.  And i ask: what should it do?

Should i take a piano lessons? I know it is hole different to play those songs with piano than synth. But i think that i can develope at least part of my 9 years trained synth/keyboard technique to piano. There is still a lot of learn, because im not uset to play with touch responsity of with pedals.


Ok, i hope you understand something and sorry for (these, i use this too much)

Help me!

Wow, you will have a whole new world to deal with, because a "real" piano is just so dramatically different from a synth without weighted, touch-responsive keys. At least you know the notes (mostly, anyway, I guess). I think it will be a long process to get to know the piano, and you should definitely get a good teacher. You may have acquired really bad habits. Then, you may not, but in any case, you should have your technique thoroughly evaluated and then go from there.
