Hi Rob,

Unfortunately, there are some *music* programs out there that actually
promote *keyboards* instead of pianos. Most noteably "Music for young
children". Also many *commercial* music schools have *nothing else*. And
yes, even some private teacher are *recommending* the keyboard. After
all--its *FUN FUN FUN*. Other than that I think you raised good points.
