I think I mentioned once upon a time that I had picked up this electronic keyboard and I started learning how to play! Well, I haven't given it up and I'm really growing to love it. I'm no Mozart or Beathoven but I'm learning how to play some of the music created by these masters! When I dig out the keyboard I really escape and I could literally spend a few hours progressing that little bit further! I think it's nice and it makes me feel so good. What instrument do you play? What feelings do you experience when you are playing away? I look at this as a great form of therapy, I can really relax and forget about everything when I am having a tinkle! Andrew

I'm sure that you can only get better and better as a result of regular practise! I too love the piano and it's so relaxing and enjoyable to play! I try and practise on a daily basis for half hour or so. I feel that this is important if I'm to become proficient at it. I don't expect that I will ever become a concert pianist! No, I only seek my own pleasure and enjoyment! I don't mind displaying my skills to friends though who may want to listen! Andrew

I'm playing Keyboard and sometime I'm playing Piano. I really love both of them. I learn how to play it in YouTube and also I love to search Piano Cover of every song that I like. I feel something really good when I am playing Piano or Keyboard. Just make me erase my stress.

Yes, I really love youtube and they have some great videos in relation to learning how to play the piano! The keyboard that I have, this teaches you to play certain famous classical pieces like Mozart as well as Beathoven and I really love the learning experience. I try to practise on a daily basis and I think you do notice yourself improving. I've decided that I'm only going to learn one piece of music at a time! Once I have mastered that then I will move on to something else. At the present time I am learning Fur Elise which is quite a famous piece I think! Andrew

Hello Andrew. I like listening to classical music very much. Whenever I have the opportunity, I go to the Philarmonic Orchestras. I can't play any instruments. My favorite instrument is the harp. I tried once to learn how to play harp, but didn't make much progress. I may give it another try when I can and when I meet a good teacher.

I too love classical music and I had never been to a classical concert until recently when I attended a Christmas concert which was very nice. I love the sounds that emanate from a harp, such beautiful music. Still, I guess my favourite instrument is the piano or the electronic keyboard in my case. I'm learning how to play and it's nice when you see yourself improve gradually. I'm not seeking to become a concert pianist or anything like that, that's probably way above me but I can certainly relax and enjoy myself when I take my keyboard out. Andrew

Now I don't play any instruments, but, when I was younger I had a hippie boyfriend who taught me to play the Recorder. It's similar to a flute, but, instead of blowing into it from the side you blow into the top of it like a clarinet. It has a lovely sound to it.
The piano is one of my favorite insruments and I know you'll be good!

That's funny because I actually have a recorder as well and my father bought this for me many years ago when I was learning to play it in my music class as school. I rarely use this now and I'm comfortable with the piano and I love practising regularly, it's music to my ears! Andrew
