Greetings, You bet! I really agree with this. I was first taught piano lessons from a nun (Cath. elem, school) and later in my 20's by an accomplished concert pianist who was the "grand" pupil (the student of the student of Anton Rubenstein)(a big ta-doo in pianist teaching about what is passed down as far as techniques from teacher to pupil). Anyway, at first I thought this teacher was crazy, with her speaking of how a key is played. But after experimenting on my own, I have found this to be really true!

A lot of this “contact time” talk could be applied to the piano hammer and tone generation as quite a topic. **************Need a job? Find employment help in your area.
