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.)
