Came across your site searching for piano practice rooms in Austin. Do you happen to know which colleges here have practice rooms? I tried UT’s but they are for music students only.

May I never own a piano again. I still have nightmares about those lessons.

I tried to get a free piano off Craiglist and failed miserably. It’s like they sensed that I was going to ask them to drop it off at my apartment on their way to work.

I couldn’t get rid of my nice ’81 Yamaha upright, pending a move across the country. I ended up donating it to my old college — and paying to move it for them! Indeed, there are cheap pianos to be had.

Paying for a practice room at a local school?! Nah, just show up and waltz in. The piano major practice rooms are prolly locked, but you can find a room with a beater, no problem.

I also saw an ad in this week’s Toys-R-Us for an iCarly 48 key, half off, $22.

No excuses!

I have 2 friends who have gotten a FREE piano off of Craig’s List. And the pianos were in good shape except they needed tuning. Not sure where you live but I just looked on my local Craig’s List and there were 3 listed as FREE. Good luck!

Don’t forget to check craigslist for electric keyboards & pianos – in my area there are lots of folks getting rid of them, often for under $200. Remind your boyfriend/parents that Christmas is coming, hint hint. I finally got my piano as a birthday present.

When I was in an apt, I “settled” for a guitar. I was surprised to find I loved it. It’s a different kind of playing, but still v. satisfying, and there’s something to be said for the portability.
