Courteney Cox will forever be remembered as one of our all-time favorite Friends. Her role on the show put her in the hearts of millions of fans worldwide, and many continue to obsessively watch Friends in syndication, a full 16 years after the series finale.
Playing the role of Monica Gellar to perfection, Cox won us all over with her obsessive compulsive behavior and her relentless need to turn every friendly game into a serious competition. Her acting talents were on full display on the show, but one thing fans didn’t get to see on the small screen was the fact that she also has some pretty wild talent on the piano.
The Talented Musician
It has recently come to light that Courteney Cox has talents well beyond those we’ve seen in the kitchen on the set of Friends. We’ve just learned a lot more about the star, and have discovered that she has a knack for playing the piano that just can’t be denied. The musically talented actress recently posted a proud post on Instagram, sharing her newly-learned piano performance with her 9.9 million followers.
Looking confident, happy, relaxed, and very much in her element, it’s clear that Courteney Cox feels all the feels as her fingers dance across the piano. "Learned a new song.
‘Nuff said 💕", was the caption to her video. She may have just learned how to perform this song, but you wouldn’t be able to tell from viewing this video. Clearly a natural when it comes to music, fans seemed enthusiastic about seeing this different side of Courteney’s personality.
She Nailed It
The music book for this song appears propped perfectly on top of her piano, but Cox doesn’t even look at the notes once. Clearly feeling the rhythm, Cox is practically dancing on the piano bench, and even takes a moment to flick her hair back, without missing a beat.
Her song choice is perfectly suited for our current climate. Ooh Child, by the Five Stairsteps is light and airy, and gives fans something to believe in during these troubling and stressful times amid a pandemic.
The inspirational tune tells a tale of better days ahead, and the peaceful melody is instantly uplifting. As she plays along to the lyrics, the messaging becomes clear. "Ooh child things are gonna get easier. Ooh child things'll get brighter....when your head is much lighter. some day, yeah, we'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun, some day when the world is much brighter."
Fans were treated to this amazing performance, and have hopefully taken away a motivational message of hope along the way.
