Any Piano Players?

Do you play piano? I do. It's awesome! I don't have a piano teacher anymore, 'cause I moved recently. The most difficult pieces I can play are the "Waltz King", and "The First Noel". I'm working on the original copy of "Fur Elise" and the "Little Dog Waltz" and it's making my fingers hurt.
Is there anyone out there that plays piano as well?

I used to play the piano more than I do now. I occasionally go to improvise something and find I'm not skilled enough to play what I'm making up.

Yeah, I play the piano! I started when I was younger but didn't really keep up with it... you're probably better than I am, Ally-Ann, if you can play those pieces!
Here's a simple piano cover I did awhile ago:

I used to play for about 5 years when I was younger until I moved onto different things because I disliked learning musical theory with a passion. I still enjoying playing the piano every once in a while, but I'm very out of practice. ^_^;
I remember my favorite song that I learned to play was the intro to Star Wars. :>

My younger brother likes to play the Imperial March.

I've been taking lessons for a long time, but I always say that it's not about if you've been taking lessons, but if you've been practicing. I don't really practice much.
This is me playing my all time favorite piece, First Arabesque in 8th grade. That was about 3 years ago at a recital.

When I was little (10 maybe? Somewhere around there) I took piano lessons for 2 years or so. I did the Suzuki method, and completed the first book (I think) in a year or less. (Don't remember exactly.) My teacher said I was really good.
But then she moved to California, stuff changed in my life, and I play next to nothing, now. My younger sister and I can each plink out Zelda's Lullaby and some assorted other tunes, and sometimes I'll play something I haven't done in ages (to see if I can still do it--sometimes it's all nostalgia-y and my fingers know what they're doing and it's awesome, other times not, XD), but other than that, Grandma's grand piano --and the electric keyboard in my room-- gathers dust.

Six years of classical piano. However, nowadays I mostly play keyboards on occasion. Midori is a good sound guy.

Well hey, I didn't go into another church and integrate with their worship team immediately without practicing like you did. That takes a whole nother level of skill.
