Can I play piano notes on the keyboard?How much will an acoustic piano cost me?

I really cant afford a piano rightnow and i plan 2 purchase an acoustic one after i get the hang of playing notes, butcan i practise all my piano leson notes on the keyboard. If so should i buy a keyboard for this and which type and what brand?I havent started piano lessons yet but are keyboard and piano lessons the same thing? Or do they teach different notes. Or is there any note on the piano that cant be played on a keyboard.All answers will be appreciated plz reply.

A keyboard is simply an electric piano.

Notes on the keyboard are exactly the same as those on an acoustic piano.

The thing to watch out for when buying a keyboard is to remember that a full size acoustic piano has 88 keys, but some electric keyboards have fewer (some of the very highest and very lowest notes may not be there). Also be sure to buy an instrument that has full-size keys the same as a piano; some less expensive keyboards have smaller "mini" keys, and if you get used to playing one of those you'll have a hard time switching to a full size piano. Thirdly, try to get a keyboard with "weighted" keys that feel like a piano; again it will make it easier, switching to an acoustic piano later.

Hope this helps,
