Actually Joni is a far better guitar player than a keyboardist, and I love Joni, just saying.
Small hands? Just stay away from Brahms and Rachmoninoff pieces and you will be fine, or practice a quick overhand.

Vienna Teng, anybody? I think she is the best at beautiful but not self-indulgent melancholy (and she’s a hell of a storyteller–especially on Inland Territory): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bah_1kJySDM

I absolutely love love Vienna Teng. A storm is not a storm without Lullaby for a Stormy Night.

So because of a love of the music, I’ve always WANTED to learn piano, but I have small hands and fingers. As it does in other extremely important areas of my life, this fact scares the crap out of me. Child prodigies play piano; will I be able to? Is it worth trying?

I have the hands of a small child also, and I can play the piano – there is hope for you, young grasshopper!

As long as you can reach an octave, you’re fine.

it took me forever to learn piano, but spontaneously i figured out how it works, granted i play many other instruments so that probably has something to do with why it was easier, but my mom has small hands (i dont) and manages to play fine. where small hands lack, you can make up with eye-hand dexterity/speed

totes, I have the smallest hands in the world and I play piano. if you can do a girl with your hands, you can play the piano

You all give me hope. @femme on a mission, I’m just a little babygay over here and that’s another thing I’m really fucking super worried about.
