    I've been teaching Piano for the past 15 years and have noticed
    a number of students who don't seem able to learn proper expression
    and voicing. Without exception, these are the students whose
    parents are subjecting them to digital "pianos."

    They also tend to play the piano much harder than they should,
    no doubt being used to the inadequate sound from an electronic
    sound system. The dynamic range and audio power from even a small
    6' piano is tremendous. You'd probably need many hundreds of watts
    of power to provide a realistic simulation of the volume levels
    and dynamic range that a real piano can produce.

    Have any other teachers noticed this? Or am I being prejudiced
    by the knowledge of the type of pianos the students have? (It
    does bother me to see parents drop their kids off in $70K cars
    who won't spend $$ for a decent piano! This is nothing but
    child abuse.)
