Browse piano sheets by Lady Gaga on Zen Virtual Piano. Lady Gaga started piano at age four because her mother insisted she become "a cultured young woman." She took piano lessons and practiced throughout her childhood. Gaga grew up with her younger sister, Natali, in an upper-middle-class Catholic family on the Upper West Side. Grammy.com says her years of training ran from piano lessons at age four to a brief period of study in New York University's Collaborative Arts Project 21 musical theater program. The piano lessons at age four and the musical theater program may suggest training in both instrumental playing and stage performance. Gaga met the performance artist Lady Starlight, who helped mold her onstage persona. Billboard reports that Gaga writes mostly at the piano, and she tells the magazine, "A hit record writes itself." She also says "The mark of a great song is how many genres it can embody." The piano where she writes and the piano lessons she started at age four may point to an instrument that runs through both her training and her songwriting. The collaboration "Rain on Me" was released by Interscope Records as the album's second single on May 22, 2020. The song treats rain as a metaphor for alcohol, which numbs emotional pain, and it is about resilience in the face of life's hardships. Music critics lauded the singers' vocals as well as the song's message. At the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards the song took the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category, and it became the first female collaboration ever to win that category. Bradley Cooper's remake of A Star Is Born brought Gaga on as lead actress in 2018, and she also served as songwriter and producer for the soundtrack. Her soundtrack work for A Star Is Born and the writing at the piano that Billboard reports may suggest songwriting that reaches beyond her own releases. The 2018 soundtrack work and the 2020 release of "Rain on Me" may point to music that reaches both film and albums.
