My downtime tends to resemble my uptime. Weekends are workdays, but toned down. Over the whole weekend, I may have five meetings, as opposed to six on a weekday. I used to play piano for 30 minutes at night, but I had to pull that out of my schedule. I don't have time for nonwork stuff.

You may be sitting in a room reading this book. Imagine one note struck upon the piano. Immediately that one note is enough to change the atmosphere of the room - proving that the sound element in music is a powerful and mysterious agent, which it would be foolish to deride or belittle.

Well, my piano's really beautiful. I actually have two pianos. I have a Yamaha upright from the '60s that's blond, wood, and black, and I also have one from the '20s from Chicago - not a well-known brand or anything.

I like to play the ukulele, but I'm not, like, awesome at it. I mostly play the piano and the guitar.

When I got a little bit older I wanted to play piano - that's all I wanted to do. I remember learning how to play a blues progression on the xylophone in music class and thinking This is the greatest thing I've ever learned.

Within our culture, every school has a swimming pool. We lived on the coast. People swam in the surf. It's a very sporty nation and at that particular time anyone who had an artistic bent was very much an outsider. So if you liked reading or ideas or playing the piano then your dad viewed you as a sissy, basically.

I never planned on being a live performer. My whole forte was about being in the studio, producing, playing the piano on recording sessions. I was all about the studio.
Allen Toussaint

I have no talent when it comes to pianos or guitars or any of that, even karaoke. For karaoke, I have to be wasted to get up there and sing.

I love the morning time - a cup of coffee and to sit at the piano, that's probably my favorite time.

The piano is like an orchestra - I'm very fortunate that I chose it as my instrument.

I have always studied my parts with the orchestral score and not with the piano reduction.

I also have a big love of classical music played on piano because this is the environment I grew up in my brother being one of the great masters in this world.

Fundamentally I feel that there is as much difference between the stage and the films as between a piano and a violin. Normally you can't become a virtuoso in both.

My mother always wanted to be in show business, but her parents discouraged her. So when I started performing for the mirror she enrolled me in dancing, singing and piano lessons.
Irene Cara

The only thing I try to watch carefully is that I never lose the love for the instrument. That's also why I decided against a professional piano career when I was younger.
Nils Frahm

I wanted to try to make songs that worked as songs, not just as productions. People wanted me to do a solo acoustic session, they were like Can you play song on the piano? and I was like Not really. It doesn't really work. I wanted to write songs that would work in a variation of instrumentation.

A football team is like a piano you need eight men to carry it and three who can play the damn thing The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.

I've played drums since I was 15. My sisters and I all played instruments. I kind of started with piano and then I actually played saxophone with a jazz band in middle school. So, any knowledge I had of jazz music was from playing alto-sax back then.

The Steinway piano - with its beauty and power - is the perfect medium for expressing the performer's art, drama and poetry.

I have so much music that I do. Just like how a visual artist is always sketching something but they might not share it, I'm always writing songs or coming up with melodic lines on piano or guitar. It's therapy. It's always happening.

I'm very fond of piano players.
