i can play many songs. i studied piano for something like 11 years and i keep playing even though i finished studying. if its a song with chords i can play it without any difficulties but if its another melody with left hand itl take me a few days to practice until i can play it perfectly. last thing i learned to play is "aeris theme" from final fantasy 7.


Wow!!!! If you can play that song you are a really good pianist.

I just started playing the piano this past summer...i'm self (ish) taught ...-ish because I've been using a program called Synthesia, that shows you how to play any song (as long as you have the .midi file of that song)
I may not be able to 100% read the notes and match the keys but using Synthesia I can play:
Fur Elise
How to save a Life - The Fray
March on Android Moon
Oh Danny Boy
Moonlight Sonata
The opening to Welcome to the Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
Mario Overworld Theme
and part of the Four Hands Piano Duet from the movie Secret

I can sight-read pretty well but I haven't practiced recently.
I was able to play the Star Wars theme, Ode to joy and a few other songs.

I've played piano for what? 5 years already I think. I can sight read pretty well, too.

I know a load of songs, but I'll list a few I remember.

-Cristofori's Dream by David Lanz
-Corazón de Niño by Raúl diBlasio
-Piano by Bebu Silvetti
-Several classical stuff. I can't remember names atm :<

And some more widely known stuff:
-Several Beatles stuff.
-Imagine by John Lennon.
-A few coldplay songs :P. Namely The Scientist and Clocks, along with a few others.
-Nothing Else Matters by Metallica/Scott Davies. The guy made a piano cover for the song that sounds pretty awesome.
-Through Her Eyes by Dream Theater.
-Starlight by Muse


A few others, but I can only remember these atm.

I can perfectly sight-read songs that are in keys that have 2 sharps/flats or less. If it has more than that it'll take a bit more time to read.

Same here. Sharps and Flats are a real pain in the rectal area. I tend to avoid songs infested with them :P

Piano is the one thing I can brag about. ^^
I've been playing since I was 4, so it's a major part of my life, as well as a source of cash.
I would provide links, but I'm too lazy so here's a small list of songs I played that were a ton of fun. I particularily like Chopin and any Romantic era composer.

Fantaisie Impromptu by Chopin
Chopin Nocturnes
Revolutionary Etude
Rhapsody no. 2 by Brahms
Moonlight Sonata mvmts 1 and 3 by Beethoven

Gershwin is fun too, so check that as well.
I'm not one for modern music, but I have played a few songs from Phantom of the Opera and Cats.

I can play the Godfather Waltz, Star Wars Main Theme, Sakura. Also all the little ones: twinkle twinkle little star; mary had a little lamb; yankee doodle. I don't play often and I've never had any training.
