I believe Rick Wakeman was classically trained

I think Eddie Van Halen’s dad started he and bro Alex on classical piano, as well.

Robby Steinhart of Kansas was a classically trained violinist.

Rick Wakeman, formerly of the band Yes, was classically trained. I think he would call himself a keyboardist, and not necessarily a pianist, but he was great on the piano.

Keith Emerson, from Emerson, Lake and Palmer also had classical training. He put a bullet in this head a few years ago. He had become a heavy drinker and suffered nerve damage so badly, that he really couldn’t play any more. His playing and arrangements with ELP were truly great. Listen to anything from the ELP album, “Pictures at an Exhibition” and you’ll get a good taste of how great he was.
