Do you have a piano at home?

hi youless good for your son, even if he never becomes a musician he will have this skill which will be all his. Good for you for buying a piano too as it will not go to waste. you all may be taking lessons. I always wanted to learn to play the piano but never really had the opportunity to do so. Now because of circumstances I am living here at a retirement center, we have two pianos here and some of those who have learned will play at times. I truly think everyone should learn how to play the piano as its just a wonderful skill to have. I love music and am addicted to classical music mostlyMOzart's.

When I was a child my parents had a piano, and I started taking piano lessons when I was 9. In the beginning my parents also wanted to learn to play the piano, and when I got back from my lessons I taught my mother the things that I had learned from my teacher, and after that she taught it to my father. That way we all learned to play. After a few lessons they gave up, but I still continued playing. When my brother was born he also learned to play. 5 years ago my parents moved to another house and they couldn't keep the piano. I lived in a small apartment where there no room for a piano so I couldn't take it. Instead they gave the piano away to some friends.

youless, I am glad that your son has started learning to play the piano and seems quite successful, too. The piano is indeed large so the best place to place it, would be the living room where it is well ventilated, spacious and would be ideal for the family or visiting guest to be entertained.

we used to have a piano at home. my father is a musician and he has this grand piano and i can play a few songs but i am more used on playing the guitar. but if you remember the typhoon which flooded the house of my mother up to the roof last september the piano was totally damaged. it was a pianful thing to see it go, but this are only things. though all of it has sentimental value, its okay as long as my mother is okay.

It is shown that children who learn music get better at math. But then, he's a boy, so He'll probably be OK in that area anyway.

It's wonderful to have someone playing the piano in the family. And an acoustic upright piano in the living room is also nice to see... don't you think? I love playing the piano, I wouldn't say I'm that good, but I've been playing since I was 4. It's a hobby that I wish to pass to my kid someday.

Unfortunately, I don't have a piano. However, one day, I would love to have one in my home. And I would also love to play the piano as well. Hopefully one day, I'll be able to do it.

Good for your son because he already have a chance to learn piano because you already bought a piano for him.Even he wont have teacher or what we call a piano lesson he can still learn by just reading a beginners book..

hi youless, my mother tried to persuade me to learn the piano when i was about 7 or 8 years old. but i just was not interested in it so to make the long story short, mom didnt send me again in that school. during my teens, i got very interested in guitar because i had a crush on someone who plays it very well , then i learned it all by myself with only a guide to follow (like where to put your fingers on the string, etc.)now everyone in my home can .. but not the piano. have a nice day. ann

Hi! yes we have, just a Yamaha portable organ but it can be converted to piano. My sister bought it abroad and i found it very useful to my daughter. She took a piano lesson and she's able to use it often. I think its nice having some musical instruments at home. But of course we should know how to play them first. These instruments can neutralize stress. Unfortunately, i can only play guitar.

As a kid I was exposed to different music sets insterments and what not. I didn't really like it because I was always feeling forced into doing things, but I've had experince on different insterments. My sister had a painio but my home never did. If so it would probably have ended up as a place for the cats to nap. A waste of wood if you ask me.

I think it is great to have a piano in the house if you can afford it. My Grandma has one in her house and when I was younger, I would love playing on it. I was never very good, but it was fun and kept me amused for a long time! My Mum used to have piano lessons when she lived at home. I think it is always good to encourage your children to have an interest in music and playing musical instruments.

i have a keyboard at home, the advantages are (compared to piano): - smaller - portable - capability to choose different tone/voice - some automated programs (drum beats, etc...)

Congrats that your son is picking up on the piano. I'm glad you're not forcing him to play it as I see a lot of other parents wanting their child to become a professional musician in the future. The child only gets messed up later on. I think it's healthy to naturally let him develop his skills. I don't have a piano at home and understand they are pretty large and take up space. But if it's a positive thing that's going to encourage your son, I think it's worth it.

We don't have a piano. But we have a keyboard which my older son started playing when he was 6 years old. He is now almost 10 years old. He is learning the piano and we are thinking of getting a piano. We don't have the space in the apartment for a full-sized piano but nowadays there are good smaller sized pianos (similar to keyboards)...and we might get one of those. But they are as expensive as the bigger pianos.

That's really nice.. I think is much much better when a kid plays the piano at a young age. A child brain is still developing and they can pick up things and learn Them fast. I'm still you as people say but older you get you teach your brain to do the same thing over and over because that's how life plays it's self. So your brain cells die well the ones you don't use offend. A kid learning these things will make them smarter if they enjoy doing this that will be great lol.. I remember hearing I think in a movie for a kid to play the violin I think age 5 at the max haha.. Also they are making programs teaching young kids at the age of 1-2-3 to read ... Which is becoming a success lol.. But yeah back to your question I had a keyboard piano but I stop using it because it's so hard but I know that practicing takes some time to learn hints probably because i killed a good amount of brain cells on my everyday information to me mostly on technology and health I know a lot of out that. Since people consider me still young I and willing to learn a much as possible. Before I can't learn anymore. Be old and forgetful.

It's great your son is playing the piano. I have never been very mucically inclined but I would have loved to have the chance to have learned. I think it's better if you start learning young. I don't have a piano but my b/f can play anything with strings so we have various guitars plus a fiddle..lol.

There's a piano in our home... my sister plays. Back when she was taking piano lessons we had a small electronic keyboard for her to practice on. Her piano teacher advised that she get a real piano because she was getting too good for the keyboard. It was expensive, but my sister plays it almost every day so it was a pretty good investment.

Yes, I have a piano in my home. Both of my sisters also have a piano and we all 3 have one. I play the piano some but not as much as my oldest sister does. I don't know if my other sister plays as often as she used to or not, though. She lives about an hour away from here. My grandmother used to play the piano a lot, too. I took piano lessons for about 6 years but I've always been more into the guitar, myself. I sing and play it more often. I majored in music when I was in college and I took piano lessons up there. I mainly majored in voice, though. I always wanted to be a professional musician but that career never did materilaize. It's very hard to get a break in the music business. I wanted to be a professional singer. I sing and play the guitar at one local nursing home and one assisted living facility here in town once a month.

We have a piano in my parents' house. They gave it to me when I was about 7. It is good to encourage young kids to play music because it helps train their "ear" for music. From the piano I got to guitar and drums and now that I'm much, much older, I'm trying to learn a bit of violin. My friend, who had no music background from her youth, is learning it with me and it's easier for me to learn. So, even if I have not played the piano in a long, long time, I still remember how to "play music" thus it is easier to learn other instruments even at my age. In the future, your son coul be like that, too. Besides, I don't know if they've proven it, but they say that kids who learn music are more likely to learn math well. As to the space well, that's one thing you have to sacrifice because the piano is bulky.
