(Official PIANO Thread)

<p>I am just starting to play, although I do have 3 years of prior experience when I was about 10. I have a strong enough passion for it, but the ''dark age'' really is killing me. I love the insturment, evidently my favorite.
Here are some of my favorite songs on the piano.</p>

<p>YouTube</a> - Pirates of the Caribbean He's A Pirate Piano</p>

<p>YouTube</a> - One Republic - Apologize (feat. Timbaland) By: David Sides </p>

<p>YouTube</a> - Titanic Piano Theme: The Portrait</p>

<p>i play piano too! i've been playing since i'm 5, and i'm turning 16 in a month!!</p>

<p>same as narcissa, except i'm already 16.</p>

<p>here are some songs i'm learning to play:</p>

<p>YouTube</a> - Rihanna - Umbrella on piano By David Sides</p>

<p>YouTube</a> - Ne-Yo - Because Of You By David Sides</p>

<p>[url=<a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=VbEkKa-W55s%5DYouTube"&gt;http://youtube.com/watch?v=VbEkKa-W55s]YouTube&lt;/a> - The Fray - How To Save A Life (featured on Scrubs)<a href="scrubs%20shoutout">/url</a></p>

<p>I play the piano, too!</p>

<p>I love to compose and improvise. I could (and do!) play for hours on end.</p>

<p>I seriously have to get better, I practice 5 hours a day just for the record.</p>

<p>I love playing Maple Leaf Rag and other songs by Scott Joplin. They're so much fun to play! =)</p>

<p>ETA: David Sides is such a talented person. I especially liked Youtube - Like a Boy (Ciara)</p>

<p>dSIDES!!! He's my boy!! </p>

<p>He played at Columbia University.</p>

<p>Gah, I'm sad to see that you guys aren't really into classicals. They can really tune up your style of playing.</p>

<p>I'm into classical :) But the composer thread kind of talked about that already I guess.</p>

<p>Hmmm....the only thing I can play on piano is scales.</p>

<p>My teacher, being all old and Russian, has me play only classical stuff for her, so that's mostly what I play. I teach myself a couple of more pop-y songs, though.</p>
