<p>I play piano! ^^
I started playing when I was 18…and well, I’m still 18. I’ve been playing for only 9 months hehe</p>
<p>Definitely not as advanced as you guys, but I will get there some day.
Never too late late to learn! :)</p>
<p>I love piano so much <3</p>
<p>I’ve been playing since I was 8. I was disqualified from CM level 7 last year (LOL) so I can no longer participate in it. But I still take lessons and I love it. I also teach five elementary schoolers.</p>
<p>i’m back from japan 
yayy. wow i got a lot of posts to read .___. </p>
<p>wow i’m only in level 5 ; ~ ;. but i still self-teach myself level 6 and above stuff for fun lol xD</p>
<p>then again, i did just start this year.</p>
<p>I’ve been playing since I was six, and have been (more or less) for 8 years now. My progress is pretty…slow though, since I’m not much of an enthusiast and barely ever log in 30+ minutes a day. </p>
<p>Makes me shiver to think of what could have happened if I had a Tiger Mom.</p>
<p>I am Asian and I can’t even read notes. I used to play when I was little (my mom taught me), but then I got lazy and forgot everything.</p>
<p>@alwaysleah… wow why did you get disqualified o_0?</p>
<p>@cchanged… well can you play by ear possibly I always do that</p>
<p>I’ve played piano since I was about 8, but since then I’ve stopped taking lessons. While taking lessons, I didn’t like to play piano, but now I like it a lot. I can only play one piece well (Fur Elise), and can also play Moonlight Sonata (haven’t fully memorized it yet) and the first part of Turca Alla Rondo. I really like classical music, and it’s pretty much all I listen to. Chopin’s piano music is simply outstanding, but unfortunately it is nearly impossible to play 
. My favorite pianist that I’ve heard on Youtube is probably Horowitz.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The gist of it is that my teacher neglected to mention that you can’t bring photocopies. This was my first year playing something that wasn’t by memory (you play like 3 from memory and 1 you can have music). So I naturally photocopied my book so that I could use it and the proctor could follow along. Apparently I was supposed to buy a second book -_-</p>
<p>I said I would do it without the music but she disqualified me immediately for having a photocopy.</p>
<p>Ooh, I love Chopin! Is it really that difficult to play?</p>
<p>I play the piano too! I consider myself only intermediate though (not beginner, but definitely not expert either). However my piano is now collecting dust at the moment.</p>
<p>I’m Asian as well. c:</p>
<p>I’m learning to play Kiss the Rain right now (it’s pretty easy, haha).</p>
<p>What are you guys learning to play?</p>
<p>@pinksparkles223
It depends on the piece. Some, such as the grande valse brillante op. 34 no. 2 are quite easy (for those that have playing for a few years), while others are much more difficult (I’m having a really hard time trying to play his etude op. 25 no 12. at full speed - and there’s harder ones).</p>
<p>@aldfig0: The only non-arranged piece I have by Chopin is Fantaisie-Impromptu (Op. 66). Have you ever tried to play that? I’ve been passively trying to play the first five measures of the piece correctly for about 4 months and haven’t been able to do it. Sextuplets paired with sixteenth notes just don’t work out for me.</p>
<p>I’ve only played the first few measures (haven’t bothered to learn the entire thing, maybe someday), and I don’t have a problem with the timing (though it is a problem for some other pieces). Maybe it’s because I’ve listened to it so many times.</p>
<p>Been playing since I was, eh, idk, 9? 10? Played for a straight year, stopped, picked up again around 11/12 and played for a solid year and a half, stopped, picked up again at 13 and am now 15. So four/five years total.</p>
<p>Sonatina in G Major by Beethoven is the one I’ve most loved to play to date. The first movement is my favorite part. :D</p>
<p>@alwaysleah nooo that sucks D: never as in just for awhile or permanently? gawd so strict i swear .____. haha psh there’s other piano programs, try doing others LOLOL.</p>
<p>@Duckyy haha im like intermediate as well…</p>
<p>I have so much to learn actually. But I have so little time b/c of ap hw, sat, act, an internship, driver’s ed, and college apps…</p>
<p>I’m trying to learn Elfin Lied, Angel Beats, Kimi Ni Todoke, and more anime music.</p>
<p>They said I had to repeat level 7 again the next year. But I’m around level 9 now and I really didn’t want to bother with an examination for something I’m two levels past. Ugh.</p>
<p>Well at least you moved on :D. haha oh well, it’s just an exam anyways, at least you have skills in piano. xD ~</p>
<p>I’m not taking an exam until senior year, around May. How’s the exam like anyways, i’m a bit anxious?</p>
<p>I’ve played since I was 5, and I’m currently playing moonlight sonata! Fave song ive ever played is Clair de lune a few years ago</p>
<p>Everyone started so young o_0…i’m the only one in here that started when I was like 12 xD</p>
