I had studied piano since I was 13, but I was surrounded by students who'd been playing since they were 5. I realized I was never going to be anything but mediocre.

I played piano, I learned a lot about music.

For ten years, I went to piano lessons. I don't think I'm a very musical person, and the theory quite defeated me, but I had a freak aptitude for Debussy and Ravel.

I studied piano for seven years and play for my own enjoyment.

I studied chord theory and started playing the piano.

I started playing piano with a little band in high school. I was terrible. I thought I had absolutely no talent. I couldn't keep time. I only got into McGill, which was a lousy music school, because they were taking American music students.

I grew up with the piano. I learned its language as I learned to speak.

I play piano very badly. That's my great regret.

I was coerced into taking piano lessons in the early '50s. It was a quite unpleasant experience.

I was a piano player. I love piano playing. I just love all music.
