Browse through the threads. You'll see that we're an even-handed bunch. We artistic types often have touchy egos, so to keep discussions civil, there's not a lot of flamethrowing. The main theme here is sharing experiences, and helping each other through the rough spots. Take what you need; contribute what you can. I'm sure your piano expertise will be a great addition to this pool of information. Welcome aboard.
