It's part of what I do at my piano - the hymns. And then I write.
Jessi Colter

People compose for many reasons, to become immortal because the piano happens to be open because they want to become a millionaire because of the praise of friends because they have looked into a pair of beautiful eyes or for no reason whatsoever.
Robert Schumann
Image
If I hadn't been President of the United States, I probably would have ended up a piano player in a bawdy house.

One day I will go back to my books and piano, but not yet.
William Hague
Image
As a young composer I had a particular fondness for Liszt's Beethoven Symphony arrangements for the piano, and to this day I enjoy playing non-piano music at the piano.
Michael Hersch

It's quite hard to have your mom as a teacher - it's like, she's not necessarily a real teacher for me. But she'd always teach me to really hear the music, and develop my ear, and to try and hear the harmonics of the piano. That was the main thing.

I can play the guitar, the dulcimer, the piano, and the drums. However, I am not a performance quality musician. Rather, I am a composer and a producer.
Frederick Lenz

I believe I inherited my sense of music from my father. My father was an ear piano player he could just hear something and play it.
Richie Havens

In the family of punctuation, where the full stop is daddy and the comma is mummy, and the semicolon quietly practises the piano with crossed hands, the exclamation mark is the big attention-deficit brother who gets overexcited and breaks things and laughs too loudly.
Lynne Truss

The same way that some people can play the piano, I can do plots! They just come!
Francine Pascal
Image
I don't know why people enjoy what I do. I play piano and sing a few songs - and that's about as exciting as I want it to get. The people who come to my shows will have to bring a good book!
Gary Barlow

But if you listen to great piano players, both classical and jazz, theres a huge range of dynamics and colors and emotional expression thats possible with the instrument.
Gary Burton

I play guitar, the ukulele and the piano. I grew up on a mountain in Tennessee and we had The Mountain Opry, where anyone could just get up on stage to perform. It was just about the soul and heart of music. My upbringing was less about being great and more about just doing what you love. It was always for joy.

The piano is able to communicate the subtlest universal truths by means of wood, metal and vibrating air.
Kenneth R. Miller

When I was a kid, my parents gave me piano lessons and guitar lessons for a while, but I was never very good at it. I have big, sort of awkward hands. It's hard to keep going when you don't get any better.
Christopher Walken
Image
The only instrument I can play is piano. Whenever I make songs at home, I play the piano and make them on the piano.
Yoko Ono
Image
Composing for the prepared piano is not a criticism of the instrument. I'm only being practical.
John Cage

To play piano is a significant part of my life, my existence. It fulfills a very physical & spiritual need for me.
Michel Legrand
Image
If you have total freedom, then you are in trouble. It's much better when you have some obligation, some discipline, some rules. When you have no rules, then you start to build your own rules.
Renzo Piano
Image
I couldn't help but feel very different from everybody, so I think that's why I found such a big world in music, and that's why I kind of - I was an introvert as a kid, but I loved the piano, and that's where I felt at home.
Emeli Sande

Sometimes not talking is effortless, and other times it’s more exhausting than lifting pianos.
Steve Toltz

I've never really not played the piano. I've played it since I was six or seven and it's something I've always done - I don't think I could ever really play anything else, I would be a bit out of it without a piano.
Tom Odell
Image
Grammar is a piano I play by ear.
Joan Didion

I'm taking drama classes, they say I'm a natural actress. I think it's just because I talk a lot. I'm also learning how to play guitar and piano. Piano is really hard though. My dad is teaching me and I just get so confused because the chords are so different, but by learning I hope to be able to be a songwriter as well.
