Piano Quotes

Piano performances by Condoleezza Rice are better than Hitler’s paintings Picture Quote #1

Immediate, simultaneous connection between the audience and a performer is crucial to me. It’s why I do what I do. Other things, like recording, are satisfying, but they’re not the same. I love the connection I get with the audience when I’m sitting behind that piano Picture Quote #1

The Conversation’ was a movie I saw probably for the first time in the early 2000s. I immediately loved the piano and just how simple it is Picture Quote #1

There was always a piano in the house when I was growing up - my dad played, and I thought it was cool - and when I was eight, I begged my parents to let me have lessons. After a couple of weeks, I wanted to give up, but my parents were very focused and made me keep going, which I’m very pleased about now Picture Quote #1

Now, guitar was pretty cool. Everybody knew something on the guitar. So I wanted to play guitar, but I told my dad if he wanted me to keep studying something, I’d like to study piano Picture Quote #1

You get this really cool groove when you’re playing just piano, bass, and drums where everyone’s sort of feeling each other’s space, which is the only way to put it, but it really is true, and everyone’s sort of sitting in their own pocket. It’s kind of jazz-like Picture Quote #1

I read like a crazy person, I play the piano, and I’m a photographer. I always say my photography keeps me sane. I spend a lot of time in the darkroom. It’s a very solitary, quiet life when I’m not working Picture Quote #1

I grew up in such a musical family, and my dad was the first chair in the Johannesburg Symphony Orchestra, and my mom was a piano teacher and a painter, so it was kind of a creative environment, and it was kind of in my DNA Picture Quote #1

My mother played the piano and my father the violin, I can remember my dad teaching me how to waltz; I had my feet on his, my mother playing the piano, and my husband will tell you the lessons weren’t very successful Picture Quote #1

You don’t have to be a professional to play music. Close your eyes, take a deep breath.. And let it out. Let the violin dance, the guitar fascinate, the flute sing, the piano composes. Just. Let. It. Go Picture Quote #1

Of course, it does depend on the people, but sometimes I’m invited places to kind of brighten up a dinner table like a musician who’ll play the piano after dinner, and I know you’re not really invited for yourself. You’re just an ornament Picture Quote #1

I suffered a bout of depression that pushed me to reevalute things in my life, and I learned a lot about myself and the world and my spirituality. I sat at a piano, and the ideas fell into my head. I started playing, and I felt comfortable with my music for the first time Picture Quote #1

I played the piano as a boy for six years, from the time I was six to 12 years old. My piano lessons ended when my father died because our family had no more money. I used to have a mestiza teacher. She’d come once a week to teach me piano lessons, and she’d bribe me each time with an apple; otherwise, I wouldn’t play Picture Quote #1

Actually, music gave me the support when I needed it. I would never have gone to college unless I’d gotten a piano scholarship. And now I’m so glad I got to learn to play the cello, which is a different experience, you’re flexing a different muscle, but it’s beautiful because it is music Picture Quote #1

All the things you put off, like learning to play the piano or leaning a different language? You’re like, what’s the point? I’m not really gonna do that, am I? Picture Quote #1

A piano in the house, when I came home from school and was able to play all these different notes with all theses different sounds, I really found that fascinating Picture Quote #1

You’re in direct contact with the music by having the strings under your fingers. It’s not mechanical like a piano Picture Quote #1

In my bachelor days, I had a small upright piano in my kitchen. It cost ÃƒÂº10 from eBay plus ÃƒÂº70 delivery. It was because I’d seen an old photo of Tom Waits - with dirty dishes, empty bottles, a hot plate, a coffee machine and a piano strewn with lyric sheets - and fallen in love with it Picture Quote #1

Without the piano, my life would be a disaster - nobody would hold me in any regard. It’s the thing that saved me Picture Quote #1

My own mother, my sister and nearly all the women in my family had full-time jobs as mothers. They were wonderful at it. They drove their children back and forth to soccer, skating lessons, piano lessons, private schools, but I sensed, even in my own mother, a kind of distant dissatisfaction Picture Quote #1

Music for me is a bit more spiritual. There are moments when I’m sitting at my piano, and I don’t realize that I’ve been playing for two hours - it feels like divine power. I know it’s so cheesy Picture Quote #1

In my son’s kindergarten, they’re telling us how to get him into Stanford. By their advice, I’m doing everything wrong, because I’m trying to make him happy rather than putting him through as many piano lessons as possible Picture Quote #1

I have two extraordinary daughters, who, I can say proudly, are doing very well in school and in piano. Daughters are a father’s joy Picture Quote #1

I was always interested in the arts as a child - drawing, painting, and piano - but acting became a favourite. I was a major theatre geek in high school - if I wasn’t in the drama room at lunch rehearsing, I’d be in the art room finishing up some type of project Picture Quote #1

My progress on the piano and my motivation to practice increased dramatically when I caught a vision of my potential Picture Quote #1

People don’t understand what music really is. I’ve been a musician since I was 6 years old. I got my first piano, was playing recitals at 8, 10 I picked up a guitar, 12 I picked up my first Pearl Master drum set. I was an artist before I was an ‘artist.’ Picture Quote #1

My early life was full of music because my sisters played the piano and I started playing at three Picture Quote #1

I quit piano and violin because it felt too rigid. It was just my thing, something I fell in love with from a very early age Picture Quote #1

I took music theory for one year in high school and flunked all but one six-week period. That’s because I couldn’t read music, and the rest of the class was already eight or nine years into it. The teacher would sit down and hit a ten-fingered chord on the piano and you had to write all the notes down in about ten seconds. I just couldn’t do it Picture Quote #1

If I sit down with an electric guitar, what’s going to come out are Sabbath/Zeppelin type riffs, but if I’m sitting behind a piano late at night, I might write something like ‘Desperado.’ You’re not going to write ‘Desperado’ between a wall of Marshalls and thumping, crushing volume Picture Quote #1
