Well, Chas I don't agree with your perspective, but I do respect your opinion.
Using an arranger AND a workstation AND a sequencer should be an integral part of a musical education...we aren't living in the dark ages anymore.
Technology has advanced in leaps and bounds since we took piano lessons.
These tools should be used to enhance a musical education in my opinion, and I'm looking at it from the perspective of many years as an educator with Yamaha.
But, that's what makes this thread interesting...one POV would be boring.
