Piano prodigies

<p>I know tons of CCers play the piano (especially since so many are Asian), but are there any really great pianists here? If so, what advice do you have?</p>

<p>I'm not a prodigy, in fact, I don't even play the Pie-an-oh</p>

<p>I used to play. I quit even before I got to playing "London Bridge is Falling Down". I hated practicing.</p>

<p>I play, not necessarily a prodigy though. PRACTICE AND THE METRONOME ARE YOUR FRIENDS.
Also, go to <a href="http://www.pianoworld.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.pianoworld.com&lt;/a> for help.</p>

<p>I play, but I'm not a prodigy. I just like playing the piano.</p>

<p>I totally agree with the use of the metronome. I get carried away sometimes.</p>

<p>yea but the metronomes r never loud or fast enough... so i put on the metronome in a rythm program on my comp and turn the bass on my speakers ALL the way up</p>

Fast enough? They're supposed to keep you in tempo and not go any faster or slower. I turn it up as well (it is kind of hard to hear it).</p>

<p>metronomes are for the weak.</p>

<p>No, metronomes keep someone in line when they either feel like speeding up or slowing down. These are especially integral to fast pieces which demand a certain tempo.</p>
