Can you play the piano?

[Sholem Itzhak 84]

If you can play the piano (or want to learn how), "raise your hand".

[Mr. Critical 433]

I have. I have always dreamed of learning how to sweep the lovely ladies off their feet, playing for that special someone who-... I mean, yes. I have.

[Scootalove 10,684]

I tried to play the piano, got my fingers stuck between the keys. So, no I can't.

[Celtore 2,769]

No, but I know how to play the clarinet. My parents didn't really make learning the piano fun when I was a kid so I never wanted to learn it. I'd love to learn to play it now, it's a lovely instrument, but it's a bit difficult between my studies to learn that kind of skill.

I've given it some thought in the past. I am pretty musically inclined and I played cello in middle school as well but I think my hands would get far too confused. My hands have two main functions: Video games and string instruments. Multitasking always was and probably always will be easy in those subjects. The piano? Not so much. Maybe with years of practice but I doubt it would ever feel so natural like the cello did.

 

On the other hand, being multi-talented in instruments wouldn't hurt either.

 

Not particularly a fan of piano music though. I usually only like it when it's combined with some other instrument, usually violin or cello.

[PsychedelicPony 440]

All I can play on piano is Hot Crossed Buns and In the Jungle from Lion King

[PrymeStriker 408]

I can play a handful of songs on the piano, primarily by The Beatles. 

[Shanks 10,811]

Yep I can play, I learned very quickly in middle school, played in the band and played in the jazz band in high school. I also composed a few songs, I have been out of practice for a while but have some plans to get back in. 

[Inactive01 5,298]

Yep! Played the piano and violin for over a decade! Going to have a full hour of piano music... All played exclusively by yours truly:

 

[IcyHaze 593]

*Raises hand*

Got lessons when I was younger, kept it up as a hobby

[FatalRain 108]

I learned how to play piano a bit while I was in Middle School, but I've often wanted to learn to play it better

all I know on it is the beginning to ode to joy haha

[~Silver Essence~ 2,621]

I have one time in my own spare free time.

 

It was very fun and great, though I'll remain away from it as it doesn't interest me much.

[The Soldier 2,043]

Oh, I can play the piano.

 

The question is if I can play the piano well

 

No, I can't

[ninjamon102938 222]

I wish, but no. I would like to learn though it does seem difficult

[Appleloosa 90]

Coming from asian decent, I was born with a voucher to start piano lessons at age 7. Quit years ago, but still know where everything is. Give me a month, and I can get back to the level I was 5 years ago.

[Chuckles4lyfe 441]

I'm asian so it really isn't a surprise that I can play the piano lol  -_-.

 

I've been playing since I was 7 years old, which means that piano has been in my life for 13 years now. Songs that I mostly stick to are the classics (Rondo Alla Turka, and Fantasie Imrpomptu for example) and I've begun experimenting with piano renditions of popular songs (I can play This Day Aria & Dire Dire Docks just to name a few).

 

If anyone is hesitant about what instrument to learn, I highly suggest starting out with the piano. I find it to be the easiest of the instruments to learn and once you can play the piano, then learning the others will be a lot easier. Heh, even Spike, Scootaloo, and Pinkie have been shown to play the piano in a couple of episodes !  

[Envy 5,998]

I took piano classes in my first couple of years of college, but I was really only proficient enough to make it through the classes just fine. Even that proficiency has kind of been lost as I don't really play it much. I tried to keep it up, but... I'm never be good at it either way. =/

[joecal97 340]

I can, it's fun

I'm grade 6 ATM with ABRSM

[NightOwl 911]

Currently learning at the moment will be starting my preliminary exam soon I find it fun but a bit challenging at times I will keep at it though . 

[Midnight and Shira 123]

I can play a few scales, but that's it. I do like the instrument, however, and may learn to play in the future.

[clockwork24 103]

I started piano lessons once, but I just couldn't wrap my head around it. I dropped out of the class, and to this day, the only thing I can play is hot crossed buns.

[Rift enchanted 378]

I can play piano but practising sure is a pain. Plus I'm level 1 and can't even play fur Elise.

 

But I can play the bass clarinet quite well and I'm decent with the djembe even though I don't take classes

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,809]

Been playing for 20 years. So glad I started it at a very young age.

I used to but stopped, didn't have the interest.

[Frostgage 7,972]

I used to take lessons. I enjoyed it, and I wasn't too bad but it just never really "clicked" for me. It doesn't help that I can't read music at all. At all.
