Glad to answer for you. I'll answer the questions in order
Why is practing scales improtant?
• Practicing scales is a good way to warm up, and it's also helpful to building stamina and technique. It's not really about playing scales in particular, but for classical piano, playing the same thing over and over again is the best way to get stronger hands, and scales are the most common. There's also the Hannon book. For jazz piano, familiarity with scales is critical, because you'll have more choices to improvise with.
Is the hand over the other hand when people play pieces improtant or just to show off?
• Hand over hand..it depends on what they're playing. Some pieces are written in a way where it would be impossible to play certain parts if you didn't cross your hands over. So most of the time, it is necessary, but I cant say that's true for every time someone has done it.
• I don't know if that was supposed to be insulting, but it was. Be more specific in your questioning. For now all I can say is that to you, "jazz sucks" because maybe you aren't used to sophisticated music, and advanced theory. Either way, that was an ignorant statement, and wasn't really necessary.
Why is their tons of asian pianist?
• I'm not sure about that either. There are a lot of Asians many also play cello. That one is a mystery to me.
Do you have pushey parents?
• Nope. I chose to play piano, although they are musical also, just not classical, per se.
What composer do you mostly play?
• Chopin. He is my absolutely favorite, although I do play a lot of debussy as well.
What the hardest piece of music you learned?
• The hardest that I have learned so far is "Ballade no. 4 in F minor" by Chopin. It's very difficult, but probably my favorite piece ever. But the one I just started now is much harder. "Sonata in B minor" by Franz Liszt
