I think japanese people are out of this world. I admire their dedication and perfection.

Even if you don't like that music tell me if Yamaha is better than Roland or Wersi. Absolutely only the player makes the difference.

Uh, I don't think there are too many Japanese people with that name (Qi Zhang). She's Chinese. God bless America.

Yes, down here we need God's help and some ETs from your place too. Our disastrous government is trying to increase 30% imported electronic products and now they are discussing in Congress how to silence the mass media (yes, just similar to China)

Dwei! Ta shr Jung guo jen.

Right! She's Chinese.

I'm pretty sure that you've been admiring them for as long as you've been around considering that a lot of their inventions are even still used today. Many more are considered as direct descendants of modern day tools and methods.

Very Impressive...!!!!
Kills me to see my own daughter not practising because I know she is good. Kids have a better social life than their parents these days though. Too many distractions.

You see a lot of these performers in competitions (Particularly Yamaha) and after a time they just become boring, as while technically they are brilliant, in truth they just memorise the notes (Or write their own songs) and play them as is, where as in the West, we play the song and use the notes as a guide, which is why there is much more feeling and variation in the music that is played.
Without being disrespectful or putting down their technical abilities, players like that are plentiful in those countries and once they win a competition you very seldom here of them again. (They practise to compete, not to perform)

kids today have to many alternatives msic wise vs learning to play an instrument which to them is "TO HARD"...on top of that most family units where everyone is always working or separated cannot offer a good family environment to do the things we did years ago. It's a sad new world out there for the young.
