ive been playing piano for 10 years, and i must say, make sure you find a good teacher. I was taught the wrong way and i can't just 'read' sheet music, i have to work out what line is what note when i read sheetmusic. Although, 10 years did help me with my ear for music, and im very capable of writing music, just my damn sheet music skills are shabby. Still piano is great once you have 7 years of lessons and then quit and then develop your own style. I guess im also favoured as im left handed, so its easy to keep beat with my left and play melody with my right, unlike you drummers :lol: :cool:
