Got chatting to a number of Arranger Keyoard players at our local club and the thought struck me that the vast majority of them were retired. Good players - life experience and all those positive things, but where are the younger people ?. Our local "Technics Music Academy" evenings seem to consist of pre-teen children and the retired. People in the interveening years are all doting parents, not players. Good arranger keyboards (KN7000 and the like) are generally too expensive to be given to children so where are the up-coming young adults ?. Are Technics, Yamaha and the ilk doing enough to make keyboard playing "sexy" to attract the next generation ?.

What does everyone else think ?
