I played piano growing up. I played classical piano since I was 5, and I sang in choirs, and I sang in plays and musicals.

Yes, my mother was a singer, and my father played piano and keyboards. They were in a band together, though they also had regular jobs because they had kids and stuff like that.

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

I had 12 years of classical music as a child, playing piano competitions as a teenager, playing in blues bands and rock 'n' roll bands, country and jazz bands. I played in about any situation.

My father, I think he played percussion in high school. My mother played piano when she was very young, but only for a brief while. I don't think she had a great teacher. In any case, neither of them were really into music at a young age.

My father was always playing the piano. He played all kinds of music - Gershwin, all kinds of stuff.

My parents were very musical in the sense that they were, you know, music lovers and avid buyers of records, but none of them actually play an instrument.

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 written lots of songs on the piano. My mother had a piano and it was the first instrument I played.

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.
