[goan_crazy]

I used 2 play the piano
got up 2 grade 2 i think
stopped b4 grade 3
that was in about yr7 but
now i just play randomly when i feel like it
however i did do music in 9 and 10
played for performance in class of course coz we had 2 4 assessments etc
that was just playin 4 fun tho

I WISH I could play the piano. I just love listening to people playing the piano. Listening to the music provides stress relief and makes me wish I could play.
I love listening to classical music.

yeah, very relaxing, allows me to get away from study etc...xcept if i want to go on net/out

 

[Dreamerish*~]

i've been playing since i was four... '-_-
i finished grade 8 and grade 5 theory but 1 week before my AMus exam i chickened out and i never tried it again.

 

[steph@nie]

Played since kindy, but didn't start exams until highschool. Stopped in year 11 and just started grade 5 (again!) now.

 

[Original_Angel]

forced at a young age
quit after year 7
only coz i didnt enjoy what i was being taught

got upto grade 4 - and stuff.. eh

i'm into contemporary stuff - not the classical aspects of it

self learner now - when i have the time
im currently learning how to play disney songs [from one of my matez's books] so that's pretty cool
kinda forgot how to read music, but a few hour sessions jogged the brain - it's awesome stress relief tho.. that's foshorrr
but can be a major cause of stress when something doesnt sound right

speaking of which, anyone got some sites with free contemporary music [here's to hoping] - just music books are soo expensive these days... *tear*

i love playing piano! i always play my piano or when im over at a friends i usually jump on the piano for a bit ... seems a bit weird. im thinking that if i move interstate for uni, i wont get to play my piano properly for a good 5 or 6 years. then i'll just get rusty. *sighs*... (cuz i want to do lmus in uni)

yeah i play da piano, have been for about... 7 years actually, i never had formal lessons though, my grandma taught me for like, three years, then my neibour (she rocks) helped me along for about two years and ever since i've been teaching myself. it was great though coz i never had to do stuff i didn't want to, i didn't even do that much with scales!
i play modern stuff like 100 years and clocks but i also love stuff like fur elise (your right, i hate it when the newbys stuff it up!) fantasie impromtu, the blue danube, moonlight sonata and ronda alla turca. (my faves)
anyone ever tried writing their own stuff btw? do you write the music first and the lyrics after or the other way around? i've written a few pieces but this is where i get stuck lol.

 

[Silver Persian]

Yep, played for about 14 years now. I've learnt the instrument voluntarily for most of that time. I'm currently learning:
-Sonata - Schubert
-Elegie - Rachmaninov
-Sinfonia - Bach
-El Puerto - Albeniz

 

[lyounamu]

[electrolysis]

I use to play the piano, though stopped taking lessons in year 9
too time consuming tbh

but I still play every now and again, albeit at a more crap level

 

[Freddie09]

good cuz that ain't it

 

[louy]

I played when I was really young but stopped.
Wish I never stopped, I would be we good if I continued till now !!

I swear being musically gifted is a babe magnet

 

[Omie Jay]

i used to play from year 7-9.

YouTube - Präludium BWV 999 was my favourite song (but i played it 10000000x better than this dude), still remember bits of it.

i should teach myself how to play that song sometime..
