Keyboard's Impact on Music

With the invention of the keyboard, music changed quite drastically. I believe that the biggest change was that bands did not have to find as many musicians to create the type of music they wanted. Since there was one instrument that could produce so many different sounds, there was no need for bands to find many talented musicians. As long as there was one person in the band that was able to play a keyboard, the band could produce hundreds of different sounds to incorporate into their songs. The keyboard also changed the type of music that was being produced. Many sounds that can be produced by a keyboard would be very difficult to reproduce with actual instruments. This allowed musicians to become much more creative with the music that they were composing. The keyboard had an extreme impact on bands and the music that they created. Although some may think that the keyboard lessens the talent of music, I believe that it opened up hundreds of new doors for musicians.
