The functions of a keyboard
The keyboard is one the most popular instruments in the world and it can be used in any type of music, for example, pop, R&B, classical and even rock. you can do many things with it, for example, the melody of a song, the chords and it even do a solo and the keyboard is also very popular for composing or when you are going rehearse.
Solo keyboard performance
As it says in the title, the solo keyboard performance is when someone is performing by yourself and is just playing the keyboard and no one else is there to play with him/her, so that is a solo keyboard performance. When the keyboard is doing a solo performance it has to play the whole song by itself, for example, it has to play the chords of the song and also play the melody so the song sounds more interesting or how some people like to say it 'Make the keyboard sing the song'. Some people when there are doing a solo keyboard performance they like to add some things to it, riffs, arpeggios or you can try some different inversions of the chords or just try to add some notes in and by doing those things you will make the song sound much more entertaining and less boring.

Live performance of a keyboard as part of a band
Another point of the functions of a keyboard is when there's a keyboard player in a band, cause a band usually consists of singer or more than one singer, guitarist, drummer, bass player and a pianist. When there is a keyboard in the band, the keyboard doesn't need to do loads of things, because there are more instruments and they all can do different things, for example, the drummer provides a beat and it also emphises the other instruments and vocals, the guitarist can do the rhythm, play notes or do some solos in the song,but if you are in a band and you are not a very good guitarist then you can just play the chords and don't worry
because the keyboard or the bass can add something or improvise and play something more interesting and the bass just do the bass line and it can also do some solos.

The last point of the functions of a keyboard is the Keyboard used for inputting midi data in the studio.
You don't only use the keyboard when you are going to perform or practise/compose because there are different types of keyboards and there's one that you can connect on your computer, it is called MIDI controller and the only way to use it you need to connect it to a computer, for example, there's a program called Logic pro where you can create your own track and also record vocals, but to create a new track you really need a MIDI controller connected to the computer.
The MIDI controller transfers all the information from the MIDI controller to the computer, so there’s how you can use it. There is also some differences between a normal keyboard and a MIDI controller, for example, the MIDI controller keys are lighter than a normal keyboard.
