I can play OK latin piano but I need a bass player and some percussion. As far as lessons, I hope to learn more about solo piano and vocal accompaniment.
Yeah, I can imagine playing solo piano for dancers would be pretty darn tough. I once heard a piano player and conga player (both sang) that packed a little dance floor at a hotel bar in Puerto Rico. No tracks, just acoustic piano and congas/vocals. Those guys were buring!
Latin piano is all about octaves...it's physically demanding.
The arranger keyboard, to me, is just another tool in the tool drawer...it does several things, and it does them very well. I wouldn't want to have to do without my Tyros4, although I still love playing solo piano and also doing a group thing.
I've learned that each different way I play (solo, arranger, group etc.), helps me with the other types.
