ive got a piano!

I have a piano... and I'm getting a new one soon yay!

Yup i do! i brought it of my teacher and its cool..!

How much did u pay for piano.

I don't own one but I have a piano hired. Its a very good piano.

I dont have a piano...

i have a clavinova. but really, i should get a piano

I didn't have a piano until after my grade 5 exam - until this summer I just practised on my Gran's when I could. But I'm very pleased with my own piano now - It's a Kawai KX-10.

I played the piano to grade 4/5 standard before I got one - my parents didn't think I'd keep it up. I had a keyboard on the floor that I was only allowed to play with headphones on!
I paid £400 for mine which is a lot of Saturdays! It is not a brilliant piano but it is fine to be getting on with at my standard.

i have a piano it's a bit batterd but i got a key board aswell

AH hah . Piano. I got one when I was grade 1 and have been using it since then. But it is a bit faulty here and there, you know.

Hmm maybe I should follow your example. Anyway, would having a piano that is so nice to play on be good? Hmm, what are the qualities should a piano used for daily training have ?

i got my 1st piano when i was 8 yrs old,it's Yamaha piano,LU series.
(i knew nothing abt it,my dad just bought a new one for me once my
lessons started!) my childhood piano lessons were my nightmares,cuz my teacher would hit my fingers once i played the wrong notes.believe me,it's painful!

i got my 2nd piano when i was 21!(yamaha piano is still wt me)it's pre-owned upright piano,kawai BL-71.

OUCH!!! glad my teacher dont do that!!!!! Thats horrible

why isn't that illegal. I supprised you never gave it up.

thats outrageous. how dare they.

i've got a really nice piano teacher. her names susan. and i've been going for about 7 years now and shes NEVER even shouted at me not even once.

if she hit my fingers i'd give it up and get a new teacher.
they shouldn't be allowed to hit.
did you tell your mother or father. or gudian.


Davé

I agree, you should have told someone. ( to your techer)

I have what's known as a digital stage piano (Yamaha) with weighted keys. Pretty darn good in terms of sound as you can choose the sound of a grand piano or others with different acoustics. It cost £600 last year. However my teacher said the other day that teaching someone to play piano and keyboard are two different things entirely. It's great because I need to use headphones to practice where I live but I would dearly love a `real' piano.

i should have told my parents,but i didnt!

if this happened to me now,i'll definately get a new teacher.
but my teacher is great!she's patient and caring.

I got a new piano in 2001 or 2002 (I think) and it's worth about $HK39,000=£2,700!
My old piano costed $HK6,800=£475.

Free. I sort of inherited mine. The lady who used to look after me after school was getting rid of hers, and said to me "Would you like a piano?" after she watched one of the concerts I was in!

That would be soo cool, if that happened to me!!!!!!
