Email Joe joeMillward keyboards, arranger Joe first started playing piano at the age of 8. He took the classic "old lady' piano lessons,learning to play simple versions of the classics. As he grew older he started playing drums and other instruments,including studying the bassoon for 6 years. As he entered high school,he went back to the piano and started playing in rock and roll bands,even though his first love was jazz.
