making music isnt about educating people unless thats what your priority is. For me music is its own reward however it is made or created or played. Iam in the fortunate position of playing music just because i like doing that. I play for choirs and congregations but that takes up less than 10% of my playing time. I mostly play for myself the other 90%. For those of you that play for a living, your duty is to make a living and provide for yourtselves and your families just like any working person and hopefully enjoy doing that. If you can achieve that by playing keys "live" or "semi live" with the use of auto accompaniment or midi files, cd etc then so be it. Doesnt matter a jot how you doit so long as people are prepared to pay you to do it. If you are a great musician but cant find anyone willing topay to hear you play then your talent as great as it may be is as useful as a hole in the head. If you play foryourself then thats a different matter becuase like i said music is its own reward. But if you do this for a living , make no mistake , you need tofind a way to get paid or you will starve.
