learn to play piano

I got scales, intervals, and learned Mary Had a Little Lamb and the first few notes of Fur Elise. Might be easier if my fingers actually fit on the stupid little keyboard, but hey. I’m actually learning something :).

I inherited a piano, the upright kind that looks like an organ because it plugs in, but it’s a piano. My Dad’s twin brother passed away and now it is mine. He was an extraordinary musician and I want to do him proud with this gift and learn to use it. But having taken no lessons and being almost 33, I don’t know where to begin…

I few years ago I did play the piano. I really love the sounds that it makes and the composing that can be created. But my piano teacher was never serious about teaching me and just constantly asked m how i thought about her appearance and hair. I felt that my time was being wasted. So I quit. now I want to start again. I’m thinking about practicing majors on my own but I think I should find an instructor.

I want to play piano because I love music very much.I just can play violin and organ.I hope play piano is not hard then play violin

Currently accomplishing step 1… learning to read music by taking MUSTH-101 course in my college.. =)

The inspiration for this came from that Bill Murray movie, ‘GroundHog Day’... you know in the film were he ‘borrows’ that money from the Armed Car, and with a $1000 buys his way into piano lessons. Then cut to the end were he is playin smokin’ keyboard in a band…(Oh an’ eventually win’s the girl of cause). The largest thing I see in this art or skill is time…as in investing in the time it takes to play the piano. The prize is gettin’ the girl.

I want to be able to play the piano. I tried the guitar but I find the strings too awkward to get my fingers on so I want to be able to play the piano for myself, my family and friends.

I have an awesome digital piano that unfortunately does not get used enough! When I do sit down to play it is usually just to play the pieces I learned years ago, by rote, and not to learn anything new or practice technique. I really need to work on this one!

I love a piano. They’re big and complicated and beautiful. There’s something so exquisite about just sitting and listening to Debussy or Mozart. I want to know how to play those songs I love so much.
