I want to learn how to play the keyboard, and so I’m looking for a unit that has a built in teaching system. I’m totally new to playing the piano. Any recommendations?

Cool, arent they?

Can you help me out in choosing the right one/ right features?
This is what I am looking for:
I need a full set of piano keys.
I need the sound output to be high quality. I’d like to hear the music I’m playing as if I were palying it on a steinway grand (Obviously not possible, but you get what I mean, I don’t want some poor quality junk)
Do these keyboards come with a headphone jack? I’m sure my roomate would get annoyed of me playing at late hours into the night.
Also, do they come with pedals? I think I have seen one with all three, but that could just be my imagination.
Are there certain things about keyboards I should know? IE, do they lose quality over time/ individual keys break?
Lastly, what would I be paying for an above avergae keyboard?

i want to be able to record from a keyboard onto the computer using a program. will any old electronic keyboard do this or will i need a special one with the right plugs etc. also, what is a piano synthesizer and will this plug into the computer? thanks
