How to unlock the Keys Apprentice achievement in Rock Band 3 - Definitive Guide

The Keys charts use only 5 keys (C-G on the keyboard). The easiest way to get this achievement, in my opinion, is to play on Medium. Even if the keyboard is completely new to you, you should be able to at least 3* the early songs without much trouble.

Note: This requires a keyboard controller to unlock. You can use a guitar controller to play the Keys charts (available after completing the "Guitar Immortal" goal), but no Keys-related goals or achievements will unlock until you play something using the keyboard (you'll still make progress towards them, however).

You implied it, but I just wanna be sure, this means you can't do this on pro keys right? If so that's quite annoying, I really have very little interest in regular Keys, and I've prolly already got (If not, close to) 25 on pro.

+1 for the tip on earning progress on the guitar though.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I went through and played 25 Keys songs using my guitar (before reading this guide, obviously). Since it still keeps track of my progress, if I just play one song on the keyboard should this achievement pop then? In theory, anyway?

Nothing too difficult. Just don't forget that it must be 25 songs out of the 83 on-disc songs (DLC and imported songs doesn't count).

**IMPORTANT: By 5-starring 50 songs on Medium Guitar (or 3-starring on a Higher difficulty) you'll unlock the ability to play the normal Keys with the guitar, but in order to get this trophy you'll have to play any song on the actual Keyboard afterwards.
