Any Piano Players?

Postby Ally-Ann » Sat Dec 11, 2010 4:05 pm

Do you play piano? I do. It's awesome! I don't have a piano teacher anymore, 'cause I moved recently. The most difficult pieces I can play are the "Waltz King", and "The First Noel". I'm working on the original copy of "Fur Elise" and the "Little Dog Waltz" and it's making my fingers hurt.:waah!: Is there anyone out there that plays piano as well?

I used to play the piano more than I do now. I occasionally go to improvise something and find I'm not skilled enough to play what I'm making up.

Yeah, I play the piano! I started when I was younger but didn't really keep up with it... you're probably better than I am, Ally-Ann, if you can play those pieces!

Here's a simple piano cover I did awhile ago:

I used to play for about 5 years when I was younger until I moved onto different things because I disliked learning musical theory with a passion. I still enjoying playing the piano every once in a while, but I'm very out of practice. ^_^;

I remember my favorite song that I learned to play was the intro to Star Wars. :>

I've been taking lessons for a long time, but I always say that it's not about if you've been taking lessons, but if you've been practicing. I don't really practice much.

This is me playing my all time favorite piece, First Arabesque in 8th grade. That was about 3 years ago at a recital.

When I was little (10 maybe? Somewhere around there) I took piano lessons for 2 years or so. I did the Suzuki method, and completed the first book (I think) in a year or less. (Don't remember exactly.) My teacher said I was really good.

But then she moved to California, stuff changed in my life, and I play next to nothing, now. My younger sister and I can each plink out Zelda's Lullaby and some assorted other tunes, and sometimes I'll play something I haven't done in ages (to see if I can still do it--sometimes it's all nostalgia-y and my fingers know what they're doing and it's awesome, other times not, XD), but other than that, Grandma's grand piano --and the electric keyboard in my room-- gathers dust.

Six years of classical piano. However, nowadays I mostly play keyboards on occasion. Midori is a good sound guy. :)

Well hey, I didn't go into another church and integrate with their worship team immediately without practicing like you did. That takes a whole nother level of skill.
