Watching NAMM 2020 re: keyboards.

Manufacturers seem to be developing new pianos/synthesizers all the time but that’s not so true of arrangers.

I know that they are different animals but in many ways, I think it’s easier to teach non keyboard players arranger than piano.

8 years ago, I started playing an arranger(with a guitar background) and was able to do a one hour gig(simple songs) with an arranger after about a year.

I’m on my third year of piano,and can do simple songs on the piano, but I still don’t have the confidence to do a gig using a piano as I do an arranger.

Most places I go have a piano. When I ask folks who can play, the most common response I get is that there are a few that can play.

Yet I know that I can teach(have done it) a non keyboard player to play a simple song using using one finger, left hand in a short time.

Who is buying all these pianos?
