You could always come back to it.  Maybe take a little break?  Or maybe try playing some different songs and or styles of music, things that you really enjoy.

No, and I don't want to!

:Yes. I play the piano by ear because try as I might, I just cannot read sheet music. I also play around with drums, guitar, horns, and the tambourine.

First, I am so sorry that that happened to you. Second, I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through.\n\nFinally, all I have to offer in the hope of...I don't know...consolation? That doesn't sound right...but I do have a nice memory to share that's related:\n\nI grew up in a small town. We had one music teacher for K-4th grade and she was awesome! She taught us to read music, play instruments, and put on the best plays/concerts. She played the piano effortlessly, as well as other instruments. She was gentle and never had a student behave poorly in her class. We LOVED her.\nShe was missing part or all of a few fingers on her hands. In Kindergarten I admit to staring at her hands all the time, especially when she played piano. "HOW did she do it?" But, over the years, I stopped even noticing (as did the other students). It became normal to us.\n\nShe still teaches music to this day at the same school and my own son has had her for music. He has yet to say a word about her missing fingers.\n\nI admire how she did what she loved no matter what. She must have had to work extra hard, but it didn't show. Total class, all the way.\n\nBottom line, she was accepted and loved.\n\n~True~

ok... but piano, celeste, clavichord and harpsichord are basiclly the same thing. he was also a very talented violist, which is different enough from a violin for it to count.  also, a fun fact... he HATED the flute.  but he loved the clarinet.

Practice each hand seperate, then put both hands together working on just small chunks. Work on getting the notes, then the rhythms and then adding in the dynamics and expression. And if you dont have a piano teacher.. getting one would be a good idea

If you have a Sam Goody in your area, go there. Otherwise, find a local music store and check them out. But I've always had luck finding piano books w/ popular songs in them at a Sam Goody. Good luck.

I don't really understand your question, but I will try to answer it. \n\nYes, you can play piano without using just the pentatonic or diatonic scale. It think all classical piano pieces don't use just those scales.

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 doubt it is easy!  The piano is completely different, it's mostly what the fingers are doing -- and all ten are moving nearly all the time at the intermediate and advanced level.\n\nIt helps to know how to read music already.  I'd get into a lot of piano scale work eary and work on sight reading, that way it will "coax" what you know about the guitar onto the keyboard.

Pianos have something called a sound board.  If it becomes damaged, say as warped, it would ruin the instrument.  Leaving a piano outside would probably cause seroius damage to the sound board.
