	Clive  +  155775 Sun, 06 Nov 05 08:54 PM Hi, what's the difference between She plays the piano. and She plays piano. I'd say they are both correct, but the greatly more common expression is the former. I just checked via Google, and it's play the piano by a ratio of 2 to 1.

	Forbes  +  156014 Mon, 07 Nov 05 01:59 PM She plays piano is not found in standard (? any other form of) British English in the sense of imparting information that the person in question has the ability to play that instrument. It may perhaps be found in a phrase such as She plays piano in the orchestra. Forbes Joined on Thu, Jun 16 2005 Regular Member 895 British English

	pieanne  +  156017 Mon, 07 Nov 05 02:06 PM I've always been taught you have to use the article when saying you (can) play a music instrument: play the piano, play the guitar... I'm not familiar with "she plays piano", except maybe to mean "she plays slowly": "chi va piano va sano"   pieanne Joined on Thu, Jan 20 2005 South of France ...But I'm Belgian!
