I just love the way the piano sounds. I would love to learn how to play beautiful music that really comes from the heart. I want to start out learning to play simple things and work my way up until I can write my own music.

How I did it: I always dreamed about being able to play the beautiful songs I heard in movies. So, I started taking piano lessons. At first I was awful, but after a year or two I got much better. Now I've been playing for eight years, and I can write my own music. :) Read how I did it…
How I did it: I started when I was 5, went to a musical school parallel with my regular school. I loved it in the beginning, but then when I was around 12-15 I hated it. Having to practice for hours every day, arghh. But those countless hours have paid off. I'm 17 and I'm quite proud of myself, I've been playing for 12 years, and am not thinking about stopping ever. I'm in a stage where any kind of music, melody or notes come easy to me, you read the n… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I chose to do my senior project on teaching myself how to play the piano. I've had a piano in my home for years but no one's really ever played. So I bought a bunch of lesson books and taught myself. I had a mentor who had been playing piano for over 40 years and she helped me a lot, too. I found out that I was a natural, so it went by very well for me. Read how I did it…

PhoenixTail feels like progress.
Every time I hear the piano, I want to play too. I’ve never learned. I’m going to buy an electric keyboard next year, and teach myself. I’m looking forward to this.
thinkcheap has picked up blogging again
When I was eight years old, I started taking piano lessons for two years. I was a lazy kid (or at least unmotivated) and didn’t practice. So naturally, I didn’t advance very far with my skill. I would love to be able to play popular music pieces and also to be able to do a little improvisation and composition on my own with some work and practice.
Such a beautiful instrument.
I wish I had stuck with my piano lessons when I was younger.
I didn’t like it back then though.
I could have been excellent by now.
All well, I want to learn now.
I am determined to find a way to do it.
I took a beginners course, but just for half a year since i thought i was going to move(but i didnt….) At least I learned the basics, and i am slooowly progressing myself still.
How marvelous it would be.. It’s going to be! :D
xandreax is reading Have a Nice Day by Mick Foley
Birthday’s coming up.. I’m getting a piano for my birthday. I keep seeing tutorials for many awesome songs on youtube and lately I have wanted to listen to people playing songs on the piano/keyboard because I love the way it sounds… I used to play when I was younger but stopped. I might eventually take lessons.

Muriel asks,
“I've been learning on a small keyboard, which isn't cutting it now. I have the chance to purchase a Suzuki SS100 or a Casio PX110. Both for about $500. Any advice on the two? (They are both weighted, 88 keys, etc.)”
