Do you think that there's more men that play the piano 🎹 and keyboards?

As I was watching a music video on here that showed a woman playing the piano it almost seemed odd to me because most of the music videos I watch, it's almost always a guy playing.

Well, except for Lady Gaga.

there are more men who play the piano than women who play the piano, yes...

because our hands are bigger... lol

@NathanDavis
Oh, so that's the key (get it?) why more men play the piano.

[NathanDavis]

lmfao..

kind of, yeah... among some other things, it is easier for men to do some of the playing in general, as for many centuries, the pianos were built only for men or only men were allowed to play

@NathanDavis
Hummmmm...
So did the women's lib movement demand to play the piano to be equal to men? 😄

[NathanDavis]

I guess it depends on the time... and the context

at some point... the piano was considered to be too girly for men, so only the rich girls would play the piano

and they could not play the cello as it would have to seat between their legs, which was not lady-like at all, they said...

Eddie Van Halen started the keyboard piano playing for Van Halen starting in 1984.

It’s funny, I’ve noticed the same kind of pattern in games and music videos 🎹🎮
In reality, tons of women play piano and keyboards, but media often shows more men, especially in bands or pop videos. It’s more about how the industry chooses to present artists than who actually plays. In classical and YouTube piano scenes, you’ll see way more women. What you’re seeing is mostly a visibility bias, not the full picture. 💫

I don't think it is really biased toward men away from women. Women just don't play piano publicly as much. But they do plan to play it in church.

I know a woman who is an awesome keyboard player but I know quite a few guys that play.
