I don't know if I can still do it or not - but I used to be ok at playing the piano.
I've always been quite musical, and my first instrument was the piano, or a little toy one I got one Christmas when I was about 4. When I was about 7 my parents bought me a real piano - we still have it in our living room, I love it. It's all out of tune now though.
I took proper piano lessons when I was little too, at a ladies house in Whitmore Way, Basildon. It was £10 an hour, and that seemed an awful lot of money to me in those days. I loved it though. When I was taking my options for my GCSE's I chose Music and piano was my instrument of choice. I didn't do too well in the written exam- I was only really intereted in the playing.
I still get the urge every now and again to have a go of my little piano in the living room. I'd hate it if ever my parents decided to get rid of it...
