I've accidentally learned to play piano.

So, I use a keyboard to play melodies on my PC to make songs. Usually playing one finger on each hand, like how some people type lol

Tonight I wasn't really thinking, just noodling away and realised I can play with all fingers on both hands!

Still awkward, but it blew me away.

Edit: later in the evening, I was listening to something I'd recorded on my phone. This is how Gibson felt about the noise:

That’s a very dirty look!!’ My cat is terrified of my piano. Feel guilty when I start to play and she runs out of the room

Hey, I'm one of those people that only types with one finger on each hand :(

My GP is a fucking machine when it comes to typing. He has to type at like 200WPM

I blame phones though. I learnt to type on a phone, and it's a bit awkward to use more than 2 thumbs typing on a phone (at least with the size of them these days), so I think I just sort of applied that logic to computer keyboards but with my pointers instead of thumbs

It took a while for Gibson to get used to the studio at home. Now she'll come nap on the couch while I'm playing.
