NO. Elvis did not take piano lessons as he was "self taught" just like he learned to play the guitar.

Elvis had a photographic memory and "perfect pitch" so when his fingers struck the right key he memorized it and went to the next key. He repeated this until he learned entire songs.

Lastly, a great true story was when Elvis stopped by Sun Records in Memphis and within a few minutes Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and "the killer" Jerry Lee Lewis were gathered around Elvis.

Elvis went and played the piano while everyone sang around Elvis. At one point he allowed Jerry Lee Lewis, one of the great Rock N Roll stars who was known worldwide as a "magician at the piano" and he flat out rocked it.

After Jerry Lee did a few songs at the piano Elvis slid back in - playing the piano - and singing lead. The audio recordings of that session are...priceless and well worth listening to.
