Piano Quotes

The guitar gives you a lot of space to cover for yourself, but there’s not a lot of room for that on piano Picture Quote #1

At 11, I went to live with my maternal nan and granddad temporarily, after my parents separated, and Nan would let me have a go on her piano. My grandparents were like something out of the Noel Coward play, ‘This Happy Breed,’ and it was magical to hear them sing music-hall songs Picture Quote #1

I don’t know any other lifestyle. I get up in the morning and I really do feel that the world is my oyster, and I start that way, the same as I would if I were preparing to write a song: put a blank piece of paper up on the piano and you go for it Picture Quote #1

My parents got my sister and I to go to church and have piano lessons. We were keen and they could see that Picture Quote #1

My dad sung and played piano. But he was also a man of God. He was a minister. So when Sam Cooke would come in town, you know, with The Soul Stirrers at that time, he was singing gospel, they would end up at my dad’s church, and it would always be a guest singer for Sunday morning Picture Quote #1

I’m blessed with a good pair of ears. That’s how I fooled my piano teacher. I’d watch his fingers and I’d listen to it, and I just kind of basically learned it by myself Picture Quote #1

Life’s like the piano and the violin, it’s about how smart you could play the melodies to make a good harmony Picture Quote #1

Writing songs is an essential part of my life: my mother teaches piano, and I have inherited my grandparents’ passion for music, especially from my grandfather Tommy, who was a great drummer. It’s no coincidence that I play the drums best, but I am also good with the guitar and the piano Picture Quote #1

I’m glad I went through the training because I’ve met such great mentors and lifelong friends/collaborators along the way. Also, any training (acting, movement, dance, piano, singing, etc) allowed me to hone my skills and find an inner space of self-generating creativity Picture Quote #1

My mom, grandma, great-grandma - we’re all named Mary, and we all play piano and sing Picture Quote #1

I decided I wanted to be a musician when I saw the movie ‘Amadeus’ around 1987. I was five years old, so it was a good time to start piano lessons after seeing Tom Hulce who played Mozart play the harpsichord on his back with his hands crossed. Such a great movie to inspire a five-year-old Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I never took guitar lessons. I took classical piano lessons from the age of six when we lived in Holland. And when we moved to America, it was just the typical thing except I was really good at it; so was my brother Picture Quote #1

I tend to be freer on the piano. I never took guitar lessons, so my reach exceeds my grasp - what I hear in my head I don’t always know how to play. But I love to play over something else. I’m not a self-starter. I get kind of bored with the same three folk chords that I know Picture Quote #1

I started off with violin, then I started learning guitar, then I went to piano. But I self-taught piano just because I enjoyed it. I’ve always really enjoyed music Picture Quote #1

I grab an instrument to make my body a song, but I’m not a player as such, maybe a little more on guitar, but certainly not piano Picture Quote #1

I was up playing violin at seven and translating that information to play guitar, piano at eight Picture Quote #1

I don’t let the children watch TV on weeknights. They practice playing musical instruments instead. Both my sons play piano, drums and guitar, so my husband and I listen to them in the evening Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been able to sit round on my own and play drums, practice in the back room, never been able to. I’ve always played with other musicians. It’s how I play, there’s no joy for me in playing on my own, bashing away. I need a bass, a piano, guitar, whatever, and then I can play Picture Quote #1

I play the guitar and the piano and have a group of guys who I play with. They’re uber talented Picture Quote #1

I notice guys playing the piano playing a part up here and a part down there, and I wandered why couldn’t I do that on the guitar? Picture Quote #1

If you play the guitar, you’ve got to hold the chords down with one hand while you play with the other, so you’re limited to one hand. But the piano is the king of instruments because you have your 10 fingers, which become the 10 members of the orchestra Picture Quote #1

If you think hard enough about it, Rowlf the dog playing the piano on ‘The Muppet Show’ - what kind of insanity was happening underneath the cameras to make that happen? His mouth is moving, and he’s got two hands playing the piano. That’s two people under there! Picture Quote #1

I basically have needed to go to the piano and give voice periodically to, you know - I’m always afraid to describe it as a kind of therapeutic process, but nevertheless it was a type of unloading that had to occur due to my personal life with my mother’s health or just my professional trials and tribulations Picture Quote #1
