(Jun, 2002) - Motherwell, Central Scotland, UK. Will is a 47-year-old engineer, married with two young sons both learning to play piano (better than their dad, according to Will)!

Musical Background: After leaving High School in the early seventies, I started a band with some former school friends and played lead and rhythm guitar, playing covers of all the pop hits of the time. Over the following ten years, I changed the group line up and style several times and played a wide variety of music to suit the gig. Kind of lost interest after a while and put the guitar into retirement and played around with a couple of "toy" keyboards. But my enthusiasm for music was rekindled when I purchased a new PSR640 a couple of years ago. I was amazed at the quality of the sounds in this board and was unable to leave it alone for any length of time. I recorded a number of well-known songs and began composing my own original songs. I started to find the 32-note polyphony of the 640 a bit limiting for some of the more complex arrangements. So, a few months ago I decided to upgrade to the PSR-2000 and have been very impressed with it. Although I can follow a piece of sheet music, I have great difficulty sight-reading. Therefore, all my songs are played by ear, mostly multitracked on the 2000 with the occasional 'live' one. I have a varied taste in music and find I can listen to most genres, but my biggest influences were the British pop and rock groups of the sixties and seventies.
