Macbook + Electric Piano (how to get started)

[stevefx]

Hi..
I am new into this as I am an "old school" setup.

Without any kit now, I am looking to buy a "keyboard" piano type to connect to my macbook for my kid.
The reason is that www.hdpiano.com site he is interested and I really want to get it started.

Any suggestion how to do it and where to and how to get a "piano" connected to the macbook?

ideas and help needed. . thanks

regards,

Any keyboard would work. You don't need to connect it to the computer to use that site.

I am not sure.. but I think the right way is to midi it and play it like a game.

PS: I am old school musician, so this is very "in" to me.. like guitar hero game.

fellow Softies,

DId some homework and this are the 2 models i have narrowed

Yamaha PSR 433 versus Casio CTK 7500/7600

It seems that Yamaha is much simplier to use on rythmn programming but not sure how "MAC" friendly is the USB to USB Garageband interface

Can anyone advice..?
