Yes, a quality digital piano is a good instrument for beginners to learn on. Make sure it has 88 fully weighted keys, built in speakers, a headphone output, and comes with at least the sustain foot pedal. These types of keyboards start at about $700CAD and go up in price from there. If the desire is there, then consider an acoustic upright piano from a reputable piano store. Those prices range from $4000 to $7000CAD.
