I want to play the piano.Growing up poor chinese we only had a little piano that sounded weird and we didnt have piano lessons around,so i can barely play at all now. cry

azn parents are really nuts about math and piano, and if they think that going nuts over math isn't enough, they'll want you to play piano. violin too, sometimes... but some lucky people have really awesome parents who don't do weird stuff like that....

x.x Hm. My parents don't really care. But I've been wanting to learn piano for a long time now. When I was in Kindergarten back in Vietnam, I saw my classmates taking piano lessons after school O.o. I thought that was impressive.

I play piano too. I've been playing it since I was 5 or six. There is this Chinese guy at my school. He is like, the Piano Master. H already memorized some of Beethovens Symphonies, and he played piano just as long as I had. It scares me. he's pretty cool though. And he's hilarious.
