I happen to be a guy who also plays the piano and sings, so people automatically associate me with Billy Joel.
Fundamentally I feel that there is as much difference between the stage and the films as between a piano and a violin. Normally you can't become a virtuoso in both.
The piano is a universal instrument. If you start there, learn your theory and how to read, you can go on to any other instrument.
I was always super, super musical. So my parents recognized that and put me in choirs, piano lessons, and all that.
I'm able to sometimes express things even more articulately on the piano than I am with singing.
I play piano and I sing. But I do that for fun. I mean, I do everything for fun.

But it wasn't just a technical approach towards the piano, studying the music for this film was also a way of approaching the soul of the film, because the film is really about the soul of Schubert and the soul of Bach.
I've been into music for a long time. I started playing drums when I was 8 and piano when I was 10, then bass and guitar when I was 18.
I started playing the piano when I was about two and got a scholarship to the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore when I was five. But I left when I was 11.
