[pianotech] The big discussion

[David Love]

Sadly, the schools are having to make difficult choices about what is
essential.  Perhaps one day we'll figure it out-I hope that's soon.

Time marches on...  technology changes & improves, sometimes obsoleting what
was common in the past. 

 

In addition to David's comment below...  perhaps some have not heard... the
schools are starting to eliminate cursive writing in their curriculum, due
to it's lack of use... and substituting new subjects & tools for today's
world.

 

As Will Rogers said: "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over
if you just sit there."

Except that kids use computers and still learn basic math skills, they use
word processors and still learn handwriting and with all the new player
mechanisms kids are still learning to play the piano. So much for that
theory.
