Just a hunch, but....... smile smile smile. No actually, I think most of the main posters here are older, self-taught keyboard players who came to "arranger playing" either from no formal musical background or training OR from another instrument (accordion, guitar, etc. - not classical piano or organ). One thing you can say about 'old folks', they are hardly interested in relearning something they've been doing (incorrectly) for 40 years. They'd rather spend their time learning a new song than learning a new fingering technique. So if that's the type of thing that interests you, you'll probably have more luck over at Keyboard Corners. For arranger players, fingering technique means (perverts excepted) 'how fast can I go from variation 1 to variation 2' or 'how fast can I key in my credit card number' when a new arranger hits the market'. Keep posting though Mark, some random visitor under 30 might drop in smile.
