OK. White is good. But why?
And what music do you play on the piano? -

Because I wanted it!
Not much really, I can plop out the odd melody on the piano, but I'm frustratingly meh. Probably one of the reasons I have so much respect for composers who can actually write something worthy. -

I'm a cellist (sounds so much posher than just saying "I play cello", doesn't it?
) . ABRSM Grade 6 but that was a while ago and I haven't bothered with the exams (or lessons) in the last three years so I'm probably a little rusty. I much prefer playing in orchestras/ensembles to solo performance anyway.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.

He does look a bit like a young Klaus Badelt, doesn't he?

Does he? I don't see it but I'm blind.
So, what about some John Williams:

Well! Vacation is keyboard time!
I was glad to find out I can still play Davy Jones and some of the other stuff I taught myself in Christmas vacation.
I am now practicing Transformers - Arrival to Earth which is fun. I also played the Silver melody from The Lone Ranger and I wish I knew what the chords are that go with it. I am also going to try Lovers from The House Of The Flying Daggers today.
I should learn musical notation some day... -

Bregje, tell me which key do you start with, I'll try to find the chords for you later.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

Funny you ask. I started with D and found two chords that matched that I know from the Lonely Mountain tune.
But then I put the track on and heard I play it too low, it should start in E. When I just move the two chords one step up it still sounds right but I'm not sure and I don't know the rest.
It would be really kind of you if you could help me out a bit thank you!
And I start the melody as heard at 1:45 into the track Silver. -

I started taking piano lessons. Yay! Will let you know when I can play some film music. I only got two lessons so far.
I noticed today that Lucrezia's theme by McCreary shouldn't be too hard for a beginner? Will ask my teacher. -

Thanks Stavroula! Yes, it is a great way to relax and put things like work in the right perspective.
Drawing has the same effect. So that's what I started this september. Piano lessons and art lessons and now work seems only work to me and not my life or death.
Piano: I'm almost far enough to request music I like, said my teacher. But I send in some requests this week anyway because I wondered if these are easy enough for me to play now: Lucrezia Donati (McCreary), Death Is My Heir (Korzeniowski) and Davy Jones (Zimmer). He didn't reply yet. I think because of autumn vacation. But we'll see next week.
