Am I allowed to list more than one at a time?
79. To sooth the savage beast. We have two Yorkies and adopted two abandoned cats. They come running to hear the piano but couldn't care less about TV or stereo.
80. To express with our hands what our hearts feel.
81. To add sunshine to a cloudy day. Just thinking about my piano brightens the days I am too busy with work.
82. To relive wonderful memories of the past with family and friends.
83. To preserve a little of the past when everything wasn't artificial and mass-produced. We have lived for 21 yrs in an 1886 Queen Anne home now with my 1919 Weber upright player, got Nov '06.
84. To gain the confidence to make mistakes on the way to mastering a desired milestone.
85. To set a goal and bit by bit finally achieve it.
Can you tell I am a new learner and still really enthusiastic?!
It is never too late to be what you might have been. George Eliot 1919 Weber Duo-Art upright, Roland RD-700GX, 1918 Chickering Ampico 5'8", 1923 Steinway Duo-Art 6'4" ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pianoworld.com/moyd14/MOYD_01234.gif)

88. Because the exercise keeps me from getting fat fingers.
89. Because nothing else is more interesting to me at the moment.
Waiting is hard when the future is uncertain. But I wait....

90. Because no other instrument comes close in terms of versatility (the piano can be the bass, baritone, tenor, alto, and soprano voices at any time).

95. Impresses people better than solving a Rubik's Cube.
96. It's the instrument that you can play with your nose and feet.
97. So you can add music stores to the list of places you waste your time at.
98. You can say musical terminology, and people will think that you speak Italian.
99. You can shock people when they look at your iPod, because it is full of classical music.
100. You can get musical humor.
101. PIANO IS THE BEST!
Practice makes permanent - Perfect practice makes perfect.

104. Because there are always more than 101 reasons to play piano.
And in my twisted face... there's not the slightest trace of anything that even hints at kindness...

105. You can go solo or join a band - or both!
106. Playing piano gives you a foundation to play other keyboard instruments as well - synthesizer, organ, clavichord, and harpsichord. With all of these, you can be a whole orchestra!
107. Music from any era, and in any style, sounds good on piano!
