Improve at the piano

I am getting there. I go to weekly lessons and tend to find more short periods of time to do piano, plus I like my pieces I am working on so I am motivated. Piano really calms me down!

by the end of the school year.

i got my piano moved into my house about a month ago. a lot of my old songs are starting to come back to me. i practice a couple times a week. sometimes i can sit down and play for a whole hour. it’s so relaxing.

I was basically “forced” to learn how to play the piano when I was five. It was fun at first but then when I got to the age of eleven or so, I began to dislike the piano with a passion. As a result, I stopped taking lessons. My mom still forces me to play the piano for 30 minutes every Saturday and Sunday but I’m not improving at all since I’m just playing piano pieces that she wants to hear and I really don’t like. So I’ve decided that I will work on playing more piano pieces that I enjoy no matter how hard or easy they are… eventually I’ll improve in playing the piano when I get to enjoying it once more. :D [[ Or at least, that’s the way I feel. ]]

when i was a child ,i was “forced” to learn piano. after playing for 7 years, i gave up for some reason.
but now i realize that playin’ piano is such a wonderful thing.. i now try to play as much as possible in my free time.
haha, i get addicted now.

good luck fellows :)

Music’s my life, as cheesy as that may be.
I played clarinet in 4th grade (after almost getting a 100% on my grade when we were learning the recorder, haha. I’m still proud. :P) and then got a guitar in 5th, viola in 6th, saxophone in 7th, and then in 9th I got my keyboard… I’m in 11th now and recently got a new violin for Christmas. :D
So, I’ve been teaching myself piano for two years now, and I’m gonna keep playing for as long as possible… This will probably be a never-ending goal.
Oh, and the weird thing is, is that my taste in music ranges from pop-rock/pop-punk to a little hardcore punk and some reggae thrown in there. I listen to almost no music with piano/violin in it, haha.

Right now, I am getting so much better at playing the piano. I started to learn the “Minute Waltz” (also known as Petit Chien), composed by Chopin. It’s very fast (3/4 beat at about 280 bpm). I think that the only thing that’s somewhat easy about playing it is that I have some experience (I used to play the accordion! But that’s sort of a secret :] ) Well, I can get past most of the first part, but that’s it (for now!)

I took about 4 years of piano when I was much much younger, and now my mother just gave away my piano. I still have a keyboard at home, but I’m currently in college and it’s I don’t have the time to practice there. Maybe next semester I’ll take piano lessons.
