I think Piano players would be good jugglers because of the way they co-ordinate with two hands, and throw the notes between them.

What does everyone else think??

Some might - but don't juggle the notes with the lid up - if they fall into the piano and get under the strings they're the devil's own job to get back out.


(Having said that, it's the sort of thing Cornelius Cardew would have done).

Ha ha ha . Very funny.

Hehe, I know it is not what is meant but when I read the title of the piece I imagined somebody juggling people who played the piano!!

i cant juggle to save my life! then again i couldnt play piano so save my life so oddball you are probably right!

Juggling is definately not my thing. Apart from playing the piano, I have a total lack of co-ordination.

Can't juggle for life.

I can't juggle properly. Two balls I can manage, but not three!

I'm not too bad with just one ball, two handed but I don't know about pianos. Be safer all round if I didn't try them. What if you dropped one on your foot?
Way-hay!

LOL. If its considered juggling withone ball then I'm halfway there, otherwise don't throw more than one thing to me without a ten second interval where I try and gain my senses again.

Can't juggle, whether it's pianists, pianos or anything else for that matter. I remember being hopeless at games at school as I've no hand-eye-coordination, and I took 3 years to pass my driving test for similar reasons. How I play the piano is a mystery-different part of the brain?

So I guess organists should be able to juggle using hands and feet ??

Wow, that would be a sight to see!

They wouldn't know where to stop, like bad violinists.

You have to be organised to do that.

which I'm not, so I shall just have to voluntarily console myself (with a choco-woohoo en chamade maybe?)

I have a friend who backs up this theory - great pianist, and he can juggle. (and ride a unicycle as well, lol... I wonder if that is connected...)
