Default Looking for a place to play the piano
Hey everybody,

I just moved to Aberdeen a month ago and am looking for anyhwere that has a (real) piano I could play. I don't want to practice anything specific, I just want to play it for maybe an hour or two a week. (I've been playing since first grade and I miss it like crazy).

I checked out some of the rehearsal spaces links, but they all either only have keyboards or are for entire bands and much too expensive for me. Can't pay 10 pounds an hour alone. =(

Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe a public school that has a piano somewhere in a corner that I could play on? Is there a music school for children that has practice rooms? (Googling doesn't give me any results on that =( )

It doesn't have to be perfect, if it's slightly out of tune it's not the end of the world, I just miss playing a lot.

There's one in Cellar 35, which I don't think is generally open during the day. You could maybe enquire at the Noose and Monkey for a go.

Churches are a good bet. They've GOT to be nice to you.

There's one downstairs at the hospital in the corridor? It's not very private and I'm not sure if they'd let you play it, but it's there?

Don't Musical Vision have one in the main entrance part, rather than in a practice room?

Go into a piano shop and pretend you want to buy a piano but you want to try it out first.

There is one in my living room, but I don't want to risk you being a serial killer, or worse, a student, so it'll just be for my girlfriend to play and me to make a shitload of noise to annoy our neighbour.
