I don't come from a musical family at all, but I realized early on I was a musician. I started begging for a piano when I was 6 years old.

I started taking piano lessons when I was about 5, and there was always a lot of music in my family: my parents both play instruments, my grandparents were classical violinists, and my grandfather was actually a music professor and a conductor.

I've played piano and guitar when I was younger.

I played piano as a kid; I still play a little bit.

You know, my family is very musical, I was surrounded by it. And from four years old I was the one that asked my mother could I take piano lessons.

My oldest daughter is a pianist; she plays concerts. We play together, also.

My mom was in a band for over 30 years, and my brother, sister, and I start taking classical piano lessons when we were three. She's really the reason why I'm still playing piano - she made me practice every day before school and made it a priority even when we didn't necessarily want it to be.

My grandmother played the piano, and I used to toddle over there and pick out little things that sounded good to me.

My mother played piano so we always had music around the house.

Mom and sister played piano growing up; my grandma still plays piano in church. They always beat me over the head trying to get me to play piano, but I was more interested in riding dirt bikes and playing in the mud.
