I don't beleive that anyone here has been given the job of educating other members on their performance skill level. Obviously, some here are much more talented than others. Just because you can afford a quality keyboard does not mean that you will produce quality music. I for one am surprized at what appears to be mediocre talent that is in a professional status. But that just goes to show that the general public is willing to pay for anything.
I think it best if this forum stick to general discussion and does not try to do to much in the way of instructing those who seem to have less talent than others. We all play music (hopefully) because we enjoy it. Even people who are not as talented, still derive a great deal of satisfaction from creating something musical. It is in all our interest to incourage this type of effort no matter how the musician is received by the general public. We are a forum of musicians that should remember that we all started out being less than we are today. I continue to lurk on this forum because of the great discussions related to new keboard technology. I look forward everyday to hearing what another forum member has taken the time to create and share with me on this forum. To give negative feedback to a musician, no matter what the intent, could promote more hostility than I would like to see here. Just my two cents.

Kind regards,
