Stormy's Bucket List
P - Piano




I've always wanted to learn to play piano.

Got any requests?

I know Chopsticks or Rachmaninoff's Prelude in G Minor!

  6. I taught myself to play the piano in high school. Never learned any Rachmanioff, but I could do justice to some Mozart and Beeethoven.

    Never did figure out chopsticks though...

  7. I play -- badly. I don't have enough time to practice, but when I do, guess what?

  8. I still play! I'm not too skilled at reading sheet music though, but my Yamaha U3 upright has a Disklavier system so it's like an old player piano only driven by a computer. That way, I can watch the piano play itself and mimic it. I've learned a lot of Chopin and Mozart that way. Good luck with the Rach, one the most difficult pieces out there!

  9. I used to drive my family crazy with Chopsticks! Hope you get your piano some day so you can too... :)

  16. That piano looks like it's well-tuned!
    I'm a classically trained pianist, though I don't play too much classical stuff at the moment...
    How about Beethoven's Fur Elise or Moonlight Sonata?

  17. Growing up, I had a neighbor who taught me how to play the piano. I didn't have a piano, so the only time I could practice was when she let me use hers. The neighbor eventually moved away, so then there were no more lessons. : ( I'd still like to pursue it again someday, if I can ever afford to buy a piano.

  18. Christine - Not sure he can create his own music. I'll ask him.

    Michelle - Furry what? :)

    Susanne - The piano is a beautiful instrument. It always upset me that I can type with two hands but I can't play any two-handed instruments.

    Thanks for coming by everyone!
