quite frankly $600 isn't THAT expensive for intermediate gear. especially considering most other workstations are around $2000.

casio offers some cheaper entry level workstations for under $300 but at that point you're going to start missing on features and the quality of the available sounds will likely suffer.

learning an instrument on your own is really up to your own abilities. you have to be self disciplined and patient enough to put up with the necessary practice. there are plenty of books out there on the market if anything the "X for dummies" might be a decent start (at least if the guitar version is anything to judge by).

i wouldn't subscribe to any self-teaching series. if you're paying a regular fee then you might as well stick with an actual teacher, but a few self-teaching books never hurt.
