Hi,

A lot of people here in the Netherlands think that we 'arranger keyboardplayers' have nothing to do to play a good sounding song. They think that we just hit a button or so and the rest goes automatically (like playing an SMF song). Then they think that you just have to do like you're actually playing the song by hitting the keys. Of course I do not agree with this at all, and I try to explain them what's actually happening. Sometimes this thought makes me mad when I hear such a thing again, and I start explaining again, like it doesn't matter. Most people who have such thought are often not very into musical instruments.

So how do people in your country think about playing a keyboard? Do they see it like art, what it actually is like, or just like they do here in the Netherlands? I'm interested to see the answers.

I just had to let this out
