Hi. Im just writing about that memorizing piano music thing. Im 14 years old and live in australia, i really love piano music, especially classic. But i dont know anything at all about piano music notes. Anyway, i have listened to alot of great music played on pianos, most of the time i dont even know the name of the person playing the music. One day i was at my friends house, and she had a piano, im not sure what type it was though. i sat down and remembered a great tune i had heard before, and then i pressed every key to see what sound they made, then i played the same tune i heard earlier, i dont know if every single key was exact, but my friends mum is a great piano player and teacher, and she asked me if i had ever played the paino before beacause i was really good. I was just wondering if it means that im just a memory player or if i have a natural gift?? thanks.

sounds like you have a natural ear for music...and playing by ear can be a lot of fun, but it's even better when you can learn to play from music, so why not have some lessons and discover just how good you could be. If your friend's mum is a piano teacher, maybe she could get you started.
