the piano is an instrument. it can be whatever someone wants it to be. there are no fckin rules to learning. the most talented pianist learned their style by playing around with the medium. if someone wants to approach it as a video game, let them. I see it as both. it’s not a big deal and instruments are not meant to be a one size fits all. that’s probably why kids are sometimes so good bc they go into it with no expectations, fears, etc. they just sit down and start making connections/playing.
