6 Insane Ways to Play the Piano

If you’ve ever tried to learn to play the piano, or any instrument for that matter, you know that your teacher constantly harped on you to sit in the right position, make sure your hands and fingers were at the exact right angle in relation to the keys, your breathing was precise and perfect, etc.

Well, we bet you’ve also heard that rules are meant to be broken and we’ve tracked down the rebels of the piano world to show you that once you’re an accomplished piano player, or at least have put in a bit of practice time, you can play the piano any which way you want.

Here are some of the most insane ways to play the piano:

1. Got a Bottle of Water?

2. How About 2 Pencils?
