Piano Players?

I am a performance major on the cello, however I am currently beginning piano as the skills are most useful and also, required. Right now "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" is pretty much my favourite piano piece ever.

Even more so since my electric keyboard can recreate it in helicopter sounds.

(I'm working my way through a "teach yourself the basics" text before my functional piano course begins in late January).
 
Know this is like... a 6 year old thread, but just wanted to say I play piano too! About to have recital in about a week, and am going to play the Moonlight Sonata.
 
and am going to play the Moonlight Sonata.
Lovely piece. Break a leg at the recital. (I remember my neighbour learning that when I was a kid. She played the first part over and over, I remember hoping she learnt the next bit...LOL)

I learnt piano as a child, and again as an adult, but I haven't played (tried to play) in years. I'm too impatient. I know what music sounds like and when I'm murdering some piece I know that that's not it.... Instead of persisting and practising until it sounds "right", I give up. I'm murdering the guitar at the moment. I mainly went back to lessons because I noticed some stiffness in my fingers (osteoarthritis probably starting). I'm intending to get back on the piano as well to help keep things moving and not end up like the tin man. I'll probably just practise scales and Hanon exercises. Those I can do without too much self-criticism.
 
Thanks! I know, I was stuck playing the first page for a while- the second page looked intimidating, so it took me a while to "work up the courage" to try and learn it, and now I'm so proud 'cause I've learned the whole thing!

I would encourage you, yeah, start playing again! But don't just do scales and Hanon, you'll murder yourself and hate piano for the rest of your life. Seriously.

I'm recovering from half killing myself that way.

California. Boring, dull, old, California. I'm kidding! We've got Disneyland (not to mention Legoland, Sea World, the Wild Animal Park, or Six Flags) and the palm trees, and the beach.
It just goes to show how discontented people can get. But I still want to go to Australia.

They say that our climates are the same. You're basically living in Perth already..... LOL Are you in one of those "Santa" towns? Santa Teresa, Santa Clara or San Somewhere? San Luis Obispo.

Now I've got that song in my head, it never rains in southern California, girl don't they warn ya, it doesn't rain, man it pours (something like that, what is that song?)
 
This is like Perth??? Really???

...Hum... Don't know that song. Was it Tony, Toni, Tone?
