I recall my 1st piano.  I was 1 1/2 and it played a song on each little key when I pressed my little finger.  I was so mad it didn't play notes instead.

I remember once I got to press one note on the piano at an event for kids when a lady played a song, when I was about 7 and never played music.

I actually started playing the melody to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" on a small electric keyboard I got for Christmas years ago when I was 7.  For career day at school, I said I wanted to be a singer when I grew up at age 7.  I started knowing I wanted to at 5.  I memorized the hymns at church so I could think about them or sing them at home when I was about 7.  We learned to read music at my school at age 7.

I was so passionate about what wasn't in my past in music, aside from that we were taught to read it at age 7, that I became a Music Education major for Vocal and Instrumental music.
