March 2010. Updated FAQs;
How long have you been playing?
I started classical lessons at the age of 6 I loved to play Bach and Beethoven. I was never a virtuoso just a reasonable standard and learn mainly from sheet music. Some things now I am learning partly from ear.
What keyboard to you use?
I use a Yamaha P80 mostly, had it for about 2 years. These are really good if you don't have a real piano but I miss my real grand piano would love a baby Steinway but don't have the room at the moment. In the past I had Korgs like the Trinity, Triton etc.
What are you fave songs to play live?
Your Song, Just the way you are, Moondance, Vida la Vida, Mary,,, Sacrifce is very popular as is Piano Man of course.
Did you do vocal training?
Yes I had classical lessons I use a vocal exercise CD and sing live to keep in shape;-)
Do you write your own songs?
Yes they can be found at myspace.com/johnhampsonandfrie
Where are you from?
Portsmouth, UK, and have lived in Bristol, London and now Berkshire. I work in London.
What languages do you speak?
English, some French and have been learning Russian at the moment. My wife is from the Baltic and all her family speak Russian!
Who are your favourite musicians?
Elton John, Billy Joel (I have the same birthday as him - 9th May) ELO, The Beatles, Eagles, modern stuff like Muse, Tori Amos, Radohead Massive Attack, Keane, Scissor Sisters.
What do like/dislike about Youtube?
Silly, or negative comments pee me off a bit I never say my videos are perfect and trying to get them 100% is more hard work than people think...
.... Love passing on music to people over the world so we can share them;-)
What advice do you have for people learning the piano?
Practice practice.... It will pay off sooner or later. Try lots of different songs to find your style, finding a good teacher really helps.
