In S1 E21 Over a Barrel, Spike plays the piano in Pinkie Pie's song "You got to share, You got to care." But, where did Spike learn to play the piano though? I know that Spike grew up with Twilight Sparke, and her family, but it never says that Spike learned how to play the piano though. What do you all think?

No but seriously, I don‘t think this is a big deal. 

Eh, you're probably right. There's probably stuff going on we don't see "on camera". :huh: Or at least what we don't see on our TV screens. :ButtercupLaugh:

Season 1 was full of ideas, such as fall and winter activities, and the world was being built, episode by episode, sometimes with no real thought. But many things were never done again, and I feel like Over a Barrel was one of those episodes that felt different from the remaining theme of the show. So when I see Spike playing the piano in that episode, I just see it as a gag made just to add a musical number, with another super short Pinkie Pie song. But where did he learn to play instruments? Did he have a will of his own before he came to Ponyville? He seems to always be the "help" to Twilight Sparkle. If I were a baby dragon, helping my "mom" to rearrange books since birth, would I have time to learn to play instruments? If so then, Twilight "mom" sure is the strict one!

I don't think he knows how to play piano :LunaMCM:

 

Honestly, when I was reading the topic name and the first post I had the same thoughts as you and I wanted to make this moment as point. Maybe Spike has used this auto play function even then in season 1 episode. Because If he could play the piano in season 1 why he would need to use the auto play function in season 5 ?

You could say somepony was worried for Spike not playing perfect (which is the thing with Yakks) then again was really nobody to get  find who could play it on a high level ? Or even better why didn't Twi just didn't use magic on the piano and let Spike pretended to play. For my money it's the most easiest and most reasonablest assumption: Spike could not play the piano back in season 1 and he used also this auto play function.

Spike is what you would call, a wonderchild.

He is definitely a baby dragon. How can he do all these things? :BornAgainBrony:

And why is he (at the same time) Twilight Sparkle's help? :mustache:
