I hate organ setting haha. DH is very musically gifted so we have a whole room full of piano, guitars, banjos, etc. Meridian on "Do you have a piano at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-piano-at-home#post-241750 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 09:33:27 +0000 Meridian 241750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mrbee: HAHA yes, #AsianFail Rubies on "Do you have a piano at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-piano-at-home#post-241724 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 09:12:31 +0000 Rubies 241724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My parents still have my piano. My in-laws, though, want to give us theirs - we just haven't gotten around to it. mrsjyw on "Do you have a piano at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-piano-at-home#post-241666 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 08:38:37 +0000 mrsjyw 241666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yep!

My husband is a guitar player so he will teach them that. I might get a tiny keyboard but that's it. heffalump on "Do you have a piano at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-piano-at-home#post-241572 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 07:25:46 +0000 heffalump 241572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have a keyboard. I played piano as a kid but wasn't really into it, and my mom didn't make me practice too much. She really just wanted me to play so she could have the piano :) sunny on "Do you have a piano at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-piano-at-home#post-241483 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 00:46:43 +0000 sunny 241483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ yes, it was my big, huge splurge last year! i don't play nearly as much as i really should/would like to tho :-( Rainbow Sprinkles on "Do you have a piano at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-piano-at-home#post-241480 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 00:34:37 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 241480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yep! We have an antique upright. I learned to play on it when I was a little girl and my parents gave it to me when I got married. I still play every day!

But it's no replacement for the real thing! I hope we can have a real piano in the future. mrbee on "Do you have a piano at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-piano-at-home#post-241462 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 23:47:18 +0000 mrbee 241462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @sweetchic: 45 minutes a day?! And you call yourself an Asian. :) Meridian on "Do you have a piano at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-piano-at-home#post-241451 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 23:03:22 +0000 Meridian 241451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mrbee: 3-4 hours a day?!? Holy crap! I played violin for 12 years and quit when I was a senior in high school - as soon as my parents would allow me to! Practicing for 45 mins a day was painful enough... I always wished I played piano instead of violin because I also sang, and it would have been much more helpful.

I would love to actually learn how to play and for LO to learn. He is already a big music fan, so hoping he eventually has interest in playing.

A yamaha upright. It's beautiful. It takes up most of the room in our tiny lounge, but I think it's worth it! Andrea on "Do you have a piano at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-piano-at-home#post-241425 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 22:13:04 +0000 Andrea 241425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not yet but we'll buy one in the next few years. My mom keeps offering to ship us the baby grand piano I played while growing up but we don't have the room. We'll just get an upright. Sweet T on "Do you have a piano at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-piano-at-home#post-241420 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 22:08:53 +0000 Sweet T 241420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We don't have one because we don't know how to play. I would love to learn how to play someday. It really wouldn't be great for us to have one right now because we move so often. Maybe one day? Mrs. Jacks on "Do you have a piano at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-piano-at-home#post-241419 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 22:08:01 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 241419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have a piano. At this point Lala loves to make noise with it. I played when I was a very little girl, but I can't play but a few little things now. We'll let her play if she wants but won't push it if she doesn't. I'd so much rather she play the cello, but ultimately it's all up to her!

I used to compete in piano and I hope to continue playing and teach my children. prettylizy on "Do you have a piano at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-piano-at-home#post-241398 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 21:39:28 +0000 prettylizy 241398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yessir, after we bought our house we moved my piano from my parents house to ours. I dont play it enough anymore, but I just bought a book of children's music to play for lo Maysprout on "Do you have a piano at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-piano-at-home#post-241392 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 21:33:28 +0000 Maysprout 241392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have a keyboard now. I'll probably invest in the real deal once we move again in a couple years. My daughter loves to hit the keys, I stick her in her high chair by the piano once in awhile so she can just bang away. singingbee on "Do you have a piano at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-piano-at-home#post-241389 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 21:31:17 +0000 singingbee 241389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yikes! had to make another post quickly.....I got it for free. The people didn't want to move it to their new house, so I got it.

It's about 100 years old, sounds like it belongs in a ghost town bar, and I don't know where to put it. We're taking it anyway, of course. DH is a piano player, and I'd like our LOs to at least learn the basics! singingbee on "Do you have a piano at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-piano-at-home#post-241386 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 21:30:22 +0000 singingbee 241386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have one! I love to play Christmas carols on it. I also use it to practice singing stuff.

I never learned how to play. Growing up I enjoyed listening to my cousin practice. lovehoneybee on "Do you have a piano at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-piano-at-home#post-241376 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 21:22:40 +0000 lovehoneybee 241376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not a piano, but we actually have a small organ. The people who rented a house before us had left it, and we liked it and when we moved the landlady told us we could take it if we wanted...that sucker is heavy, and we've been lugging it from place to place, even though I don't play. I'd love a real piano. I'd totally get lessons if we had one (DH plays a little bit). I love pianos, and always wished I'd learned to play when I was younger. mrbee on "Do you have a piano at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-piano-at-home#post-241371 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 21:17:35 +0000 mrbee 241371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I played the piano for almost 20 years.... practiced 3-4 hours a day like a good Asian boy. I never really liked it though. Looking back, I wish I had spent that time programming! Anyway I have been thinking of someday getting back into it, and maybe transitioning from classical to jazz piano. The real bonus here would be that Charlie would get exposed to music at a young age. But sadly, we don't really have much room in our apartment. Do you have a piano at home? Do you ever think about getting one?
