Did Elvis Presley play the piano? If so, how well, and where did he learn?  Any on any recordings?

Yes he did. He learned as a child. He wasn't fantastic but he could "hold his own". There is a DVD of his last public performance floating around in cyberspace where he is playing a solo version of the Righteous Brother's song "Unchained Melody". He plays piano and sings. Shortly after the video he died. He looks absolutely terrible in the video and I wish that I had a copy, but I no longer have it. Elvis also liked to plunk around on a bass guitar and it's at Graceland. I went many years ago and the guide knew him personally and said that Elvis loved bass so much he wanted to play it in the band, but Colonel Tom Parker told him that a lead singer shouldn't be allowed to play bass, and he wouldn't allow Elvis to play on stage.

It's Elvis Presley.  I saw a concert on television where he showcased tracks from the "Intensive care" album, and when he introduced "Advertising space", he said it was about Elvis.

Just play a mixture of songs like they do at a regular ballroom.  Elvis has a lot of swing music that your daughter can boogie to!  Have you ever been to a ballroom dance?  If not, it's not what you think.  I know a lot of people think it is all orchestra music and the like, but we dance to all kinds of contemporary music and rock and roll.

I would love to know how to play the piano very well, natural-like, not reading sheet music.  \n\nNo, I probably never will.  I took piano lessons for a year in college, but it was very difficult.  It didn't come naturally at all.  I would love to have someone in my life that played often, though.

closest they will ever be alive is in my stereo!  People who think Elvis is still alive need a new hobby and just accept he is dead.  I dont believe aliens took him or that he faked his own death.  Some people just have too much of an imagination.

I know google and yahoo inside out and I've searched high and low but Im in the same boat as you are.  You can only find a bit here and a bit there.  Tell me what level you are at and i can give you a video to download of me playing the notes.  Just pick and song and I can have a video in about 7 days so you can see my fingers slowly.  I teach piano the traditional way but visually/aurally learning the song is much easier.  Classical pieces require the sheets but all latest rock/pop etc don;t.

I'm one of the defective people who can do this without changing my foot's direction. Must be dain bramaged.\n\nParanormal Princess - I had never heard about the "trick" of playing piano, but that would explain it!  I've been playing for...um...let's just say, "several" years. :-)

i have been playing for almost 20 years.  i think there is something very profound about playing an instrument, especially the piano.  i think classical is very underrated (something that should be observed live).  there is a passion that comes with the piano and playing several notes as once.  \n\ni think it also brings your experience as a person.  shows yourself how to have control and discipline and that hard work actually works.  the result is amazing knowing that you work on this piece and you made that sound come from your finger tips.  each note perfects by the way you touch, and how loud or soft it resonates from the piano itself... helps everywhere (even the bedroom) to have such an art!  did i get a little carried away there?

The King created a rock n roll craze in America that changed the face of music forever.  He popularized blue suede shoes, pelvic gyration in dance and the pompadour and that's just the tip of the iceberg.  \n\nHe is an icon and is beloved by millions world wide to this day.  I have friends who still observe Elvis's birthday each year.  Also one of my best friends had an Elvis impersonator at their wedding in 2005 and it was fun and great!\n\nThe King Lives in all of us!

if you play the piano well enough by ear, or read notes well enough to do key transpositions, you should be able to play most any piece in "C" quite easily. do not be confined to the key indicated in the sheet or to the key in which you hear the piece actually played. Enjoy!
