Not only does it serve to have piano playing skills, now you give good reasons for playing other instruments. I remember my piano teacher talking about phasing. Those long curved lines in sheet music.... that's is about all I understood what she was trying to say. "This is a phrase (pointing to the music) and this is the phrase (playing it) and I sat there with duh on my face. That was at 15. Maybe now I am ready for another lesson. I do remember a lot from the few lessons since then. (perhaps because I had to pay instead of my parents) ; ) Ha, maybe it is not so important for a tech to play at least on the intermediate level, but rather take lessons. ---ric
