Anyone play any Lion King tunes on piano & Keyboard

[Euan Buchan]

I can play "King Of Pride Rock Finalie" I learnt it at my cousin's house they had a piano and I sat down and played with the keys until I was playing something frmililar and for some reason I found the right keys and found myself playing the finalie I was soo impressed with myself I made everyone gather round and wath me play. I can't read music notes but GOD I was very happy to play that beginners luck I say. I can still play it now and it was quite a few years ago I learnt it.

[Shatara]

Good for you ^_^

I learned a buncha songs by ear, its a bit of a talent I have. My sister is insanely jealous of it. x)

Like one time, I randomly played the Harry Potter theme x)

her: Did you just play the Harry Potter theme?
Meh: Yup.
Her: Have you ever played it before?
Meh: Nnope.
Her: ....You suck.

I also learned 'My Lullaby' on teh Trombone. Sounds awesome if ya put a growl on it ^^

*lol* I played the "Police Academy" tune a few weeks back on my sister's piano, totally out of the blue, haha.

I used to be able to play "Just can't wait to be king" on bass (only the first half though, 'cause I didn't had the other part).

And I have the chords somewhere from "Circle of life" for guitar.

I love playing the piano, I'm not that great at it but I'm ok. I love playing lion King songs, I'm currently learning Endless Night and I just randomly play lion king songs when I feel like it, I can't play them perfectly straight off though.

I can play songs by ear, it takes a bit of trial and error to work it out, and when I do it's only the melody that I can work out. Still, it's good fun.

I don't have a keyboard or piano. However, when I was in year 8 and 9 (I'm in year 11 now), our teacher got us playing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" on the keyboards. I guess I could play it but not as well as some other people, haha. xD

Then again, I haven't been always one for playing music using instruments despite me playing the violin for well over 3 years.

[This Land]

Cool, nice to see some keyboard players, may i ask if you just play the melody (one hand) or melody and chords (2 hands)

I will post some sound files of me playing the keyboard when i record them, hopefully in the next hour or so

If anybody has the sheet music/notes to any of the TLK soundtracks, do you mind if i have a copy , i can work out the main melody of the tlk soundtracks myself but i need the chords

[Daniel]

no lion king, but i can play the background tune to Numb by Linkin Park

[Aurelian]

The only instument I play is the air guitar. I prefer to stick with singing.

I CAN sing pretty much all the songs from TLK, though. I can also do a dead on impression of Jeremy Irons singing "Be Prepared".

[CantSeewell]

nope im abad piano player

[This Land]

I Love the Air Guitar aswell, so easy to play

If anybody can it will be a good idea to record you playing your instrument and put it on the internet

Here are a few of my recordings

This Land - I Have learnt this from just listening to the soundtrack and midi files of "this land", I learnt it all myself without reading any notes.

Can You Feel The Love Tonight - Sorry if this recording sounds jumpy, the mp3 encoder dont like me lol.

And a Unrelated Tune i have played
Let It Be - Beatles - This may sound alot more smoother than the other 2 this is because this is the very fist tune i learnt.



CYFTLT recording is only half of the song because i havent properly learnt the chords for it, i know the whole medoly of the song but not the whole chords so i decided not to carry on recording because it dont sound right

[Storm90]

Well, I do have a keyborad but I hardly play it. It's mostly for my older brother since he's taking a piano course in high school.

Though I do have Lion King music for the cello and can all the songs.

My favorite is "The Circle of Life" and "Be Prepared".

Though "I Can't wait to be King" has a very hard beat to keep pace.

[LunarCat]

i've tried can you feel the love tonight but i had to shorten the chords, my hands aren't that big! i really want the broadway or This Land sheet music. however i can play "When you wish upon a star" pretty well

[Sombolia]

I can play "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" on the recorder XDD

I want to learn to play piano and bass. Le sigh.

[Simbaspirit]

i can play lots of TLKoB songs, as well as all the other TLK songs. i mea nthe actual songs, not the simplyfied versions. im in gr. 5 and 6 Royal Conservatory, if that means anything to anyone.

[Mizani]

I'm currently learning 5th grade Piano, but I can't play any TLK songs. I can play can you feel the love tonight on the violin though

[Azerane]

I have the sheet music for TLKoB and also simplified sheet music for the songs from the movie. I would like to get the sheet music for the second movie as I have seen it around.

The songs included in the broadway book are
Circle of Life, Nant's Ingonyama, The Morning Report, I Just Can't Wait to Be King, Chow Down, They Live in You, Be Prepared, Hakuna Matata, The Madness of King Scar, Shadowland, Endless Night, Can You Feel the Love Tonight (which is near impossible to play, curse you six flats!!!), He Lives in You (Reprise) and King Of Pride Rock/Circle of Life (Reprise)

So yeah, if people want a couple of songs I can scan them in for you, though I'd prefer not to be copying the whole book.

*edit*
@Mizani... wow, 5th grade, only ever completed first grade, then the teachers just got crappy so I just teach myself the songs I wanna play, I should take up lessons again though, though I hate the theory.

[Mizani]

Heh, yeah theory, hate the stuff. I've had the same teacher for every grade, and I guess she's alright. If you wanna take it up again, try and get a teacher who is recommended.

By the way, I should really only be in fouth grade, but after peliminary, my teacher just made me buy second

[Azerane]

Yeah at first I had a really good teacher and it took me no time at all to get through the peliminary and 1st grade book, but then we moved and all the teachers that I got through the school were just reall bad and so put me off learning. I do have some harder stuff which i like to learn to play, there's a song I would love to be able to play called "House of the Rising Sun" or something similar, lyrics are a bit dodgy but it sounds simply stunning on the piano, my mum can play it really well.

[Kintaru]

Hehehe, you have the sheet music to house of the rising sun Azzy? Thats so cool. How can you hate that song though, it's one of Rolling Stone's greats!I mean I guess it's not exactly a savory place to go by most moral standards, but hey, cool song anyways.

*Listens to it now.*

[Azerane]

Actually no we don't have the sheet music of it... kinda sounds like I do from my last post... hmm... anyway, I wish we did though, my mum borrowed it off someone when she learned to play it. And I didn't say I hated it, I meant the lyrics were kinda dodgy in what the song was reffering to... if you know what I mean But yes, it's a cool song.
