I think any parent that makes their kid sit at a piano against their will and practice, they're going to have a kid that's not going to want to play the piano.

I've been playing since I was 5, but I wouldn't say that I'm serious about the piano.

Pianos tend to get better as they age, the more you play them. They grow into their sound.

My daughter plays keyboard very well, and my son plays guitar, and they're totally into music.

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

In France the music schools are a bit old fashioned. I was more excited about doing my own stuff or to play with my friend in my band, than studying the piano.

Both my grandmothers had upright pianos, and I just knew how to play since I was a child. Nobody taught me. I sounded like a grown-up, and then I learned how to read music. I played so well by ear I could fool the teacher to believe I could play the notes. She'd make the mistake of playing the song once, and I could play it.

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

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

I took piano lessons as a kid, and my daughter's played piano since before she started kindergarten, so classical piano is something I really love.
