I wanted to play piano, and that slid quickly into writing - it wasn't enough to play other people's notes: I had to write notes too.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
From the time I could play the piano, I remember trying to write tunes. They were in my head, and I would just sit down and start noodling. Next thing I knew, I had written a melody.
Oh yeah, we all write. That's what's great about when you have basics in piano.
I decided that playing piano was a little bit too common, you know what I mean?
I don't think I could have ever had a career as a pianist because I never ever wanted to play the notes the way they were written, I was too sloppy to learn them quite right.
I've written lots of songs on the piano. My mother had a piano and it was the first instrument I played.
When I was young, I just sat down and started playing Chopsticks at the piano. I got so far and then lost interest. Eventually, I regained it and started writing songs.
I wanted to try to write songs on the piano to get a different flavor.
I play the piano and write music.
I discovered it was easier to carry around a pen than a piano.
I myself never make any notes. Usually, if I write something down, I can't read it afterwards.
