The keyboard and piano are NOT the same, for a couple reasons:
- The piano has a wider range.
- It is more real and acoustic.
- Better to practice on than a keyboard.
If you are sending your child to piano lessons, it is best to buy a piano. A piano will teach them how to sit correctly, and how to actually press the notes far better than a keyboard will. And most keyboard keys are smaller than the piano's keys are, so that is not a good thing, if they want to practice right. Also, when your child reaches a higher level in piano, pieces will require more strength and power. If you happen to bang too much on the keyboard, the keys will break and the electronic sound will be damaged in time as well. However, a piano can take that kind of vigorous aggression.
Hope this helped!
Yes. All musical notes are the same (abcdefg) the only difference is the tone, or the pitch, and such. The xylophone actually is like a piano with fewer, but wider keys.
Many percussion keyboards have metal keys. Some of them are glockenspiel, xylophone and vibraphones. Piano is not a percussion keyboard as it has a string mechanism as well.
Same as on the piano, except with the range adjusted to fit the xylophone.
88 keys on a standard piano, upright and grand.

The keys
There are 88 keys on a piano (52 white keys and 36 black keys).
The standard modern piano has 36 black keys and 52 white keys. The same is true for full size keyboards. The piano is the most popular solo instrument in the world.
Some instruments similar to the vibraphone are the xylophone and the marimba (wooden), the glockenspiel/Bells (metal) and the piano. All are keyboard instruments, and with the exception of the piano, are played by striking the keys with mallets.
By the lengthness of their keys.
