Hi all,
I started playing keys on an arranger 9 years ago and having no music experience before hand.
After about 4 years learning the arranger mostly from written music I started to slow down in my skill level and didnt seem to get alot better after.
2 years ago I decided to start learning the piano and started to read the bass cleff.I didnt really play much on an arranger until now and I have found that I am way more advanced at playing an arranger now and find it very easy to improvise around the music only having to read the treble cleff.

It seems whilst I continue to learn the piano I have to practice very robotic and strict playing techniques but when playing on the arranger I let myself go and play with ease,if you know what I mean.

Did most of the proes come from playing pianos and organs in the arranger buisness or were they just good vocalists who didnt neet to much keyboard playing skill?

Regards,
Daz
