My piano teacher would highly disagree with that..

playing piano is all about the perfect balance between fingers wrists and lower arms..

I think this video pretty much indicates what he tought me..



with just the finger technique of the piano playing, you come a long way on semi weighted keybeds. But all the finger technique is there in the playing the piano..

in general, playing and training more piano makes you less fatigued after long playing sessions..

My thoughts:

Having a father went to Italy to study concert piano -- I have to say that there arm movements. To what degree? I think it may have a lot to do with volume -- accenting

When I am trying to improve my finger technics I do scales and arps on the piano. Returning to the keyboard I seem to have more command. Studies start slow an accurate, then gradually speed up.

I use an acoustic guitar which has high action in the same way. Returning to a guitar with low action I can breeze through the same piece of music.

Bachus, my piano teacher played with the Baltimore Symphony and she would agree with much of the video you posted. She was an incredible player and played for the Symphony for three decades before passing away. However, she always stressed forearm and wrist movement, primarily when a player was placing emphasis on a particular note or chord.

As stated prior to the piano rant, "Absolutely nothing" is boring about playing my arranger keyboard, or any instrument for that matter. If I still had the chops, I would love playing my old 12 string guitar, mandolin, and even the chromatic harmonica.

That the topic title doesn’t fit in with this forum?

As Gary says, there is nothing boring about playing arrangers..
Maybe they could spice up arrangers some more..
But the playing itselves is allways very fun..

Boring is the mother of improvement.

Styles can be very boring; thump thump thump!

Sure, styles are boring, but that is why I love Multi-Pads, and switches that mute part of the style. By adding a ride cymbal, or a snare on 2 and 4, we have a difference. A bass that adds more of a kick. The list goes as far as your imagination.

So --- Boring equals improvement. Yes, boring can happen, but it is not the fault of the keyboard.

My opinion, John C.

During the years the arranger keyboards has given me nothing else than lots of joy and fun!
Well, and some more grey hair...
