Do You Play An Instrument?

Post by **Nina Gennusa** » Wed Aug 10, 2011 11:56 pm

I play the piano, clarinet, and tenor saxophone. I play the piano for pleasure, the clarinet for concert band, and tenor saxophone for jazz band and this year I get to be lead tenor!

I play the piano, cello, and I'm a percussionist...not all at the same time, of course

. I've played the piano for about 22 years or so, just for fun. I taught myself how to play and have never had lessons but it's fun

. I was a percussionist for 7 years in school and was in an African Marimba band for about two years. And I recently started cello lessons because I've always found it to be a beautiful instrument.

I used to play the flute, the clarinet, and the violin. I abandoned them all one by one over time, and I'm so sorry I did, particularly the violin. In fact, I can't pass a pawn shop or music store without checking out their instrument inventory and pining over the strings. Someday I intend to reteach myself how to play.

I play a little piano, a little guitar, and a little percussion stuff like timpani, bass drums.. I played clarinet a long time ago, but I prefer to not think of such painful memories..

No offense to the people who play the clarinet, of course. It just wasn't for me at all and I had a pretty horrible teacher..

I could play most wind and percussion instruments when I was in the band...but I just can't play strings. I cannot play a piano, guitar or violin. O.O

I played on the flute and piccolo most. Trumpet and saxophone are my second.

And...I'm a horrid singer. ^^;

I play mainly the cornet. But I'm also not that bad at the piano (probably better than the cornet, but it's much more fun with it). I also try to learn to play the guitar. I tried once to play the flute, but with no great sucess. Still, I want to buy me myself one so I can play.

I play the violin... But I'd like to take up drumming too, if possible...

I play like a hobby the guitar, but I know a litte how to play the drum and the piano

I play the trumpet, that's my main instrument. I'm also self-taught on the guitar and I know just a teeny bit of keyboard.

I currently don't play an instrument but I've secretly always wanted to learn to play the violin. If anyone knows where I should start (whether I should buy myself one or just get lessons etc) that would be much appreciated!

I play the guitar.

I had to learn flute at school - looking back at it now, it was not so terrible because I learned a lot of music theory that was very helpful later on.
I started playing the guitar when I was 14. In the end, it was sort of a financial question. Both guitar and piano seemed to be instruments I wanted to learn but guitar was the one I could afford, so I ended up playing the guitar. Two years ago, I also started learning to play the frame drum. I have always been into all the medieval stuff - markets, events, music... and frame drum really is an amazing instrument. Now all there is left to do is to finally go and take some piano lessons.

I started playing the piano when I was 3 but don't have one atm

I play flute, cello, violin, viola and guitar right now and will start learning the harp next year. I also collect antique violins and restore them.

I've played the piano for 10 years. I started taking lessons when I was six, and I still take private lessons to keep my skill up and continue in my knowledge of theory. I want to learn how to play the violin, but I don't have the time with school and dance. Maybe when I'm older I can take lessons for fun.

I used to play piano, clarinet and trumpet! I took piano classes for a while, learned clarinet in school and did a couple of concerts, and trumpet in high school. I liked clarinet the most, haha.

Well, I play a numerous amount of instruments.

I took piano lessons for about 6 years and I still keep up with my piano by practicing a few times a week and trying out new pieces. Right now I'm working on "Change the World" - the opening theme of Inuyasha season 1!! I love it and it's a lot of fun to work on.

I played saxophone for about 3 years when I was in band and I still have my saxophone. When I feel like playing I take out all of my old sheet music and play up a tune!! Gotta love jazz!!

My brother used to play the flute in band and he taught me how to play his flute. I don't have much of a chance to play it anymore, but it was fun to play. If I wanted to, I bet I could pick it up quite quickly again.

Next I am a hobby player of the guitar. It is an instrument that I picked up and learned to play mostly by myself, but I did take a guitar class through school two years ago. I mostly play classical guitar because my fingers aren't really long enough to reach the complex chords.

Playing violin was something I also picked up by teaching myself on a violin of a friend. I'm not too good, but it's fun to learn and my friend's amazing with the violin and helps me when I need it!

Lastly, I sing. For the last year I've had vocal lessons, but my mom says I've been singing since I was 2 years old. It's definitely the thing I love to do the most in the musical area.

I've played piano since I was four and now teach it to earn some extra income, and I've been playing flute for the last 4 years or so and I sing soprano. I hold a B.S in Voice Performance actually.

I am currently attempting to learn the guitar but that is easier said than done and my fingertips hate at the moment lol. I would also like to learn to to play the violin one day.

I play nothing. I tried the guitar, drums and bass when I was younger but I failed it all. I have NO musical habilities, I just love to listen to it.

Well I play 3 different instruments, if one doesn't count the laptop keyboard haha.
I play the flute, and actually learned to play it for a year or so. Then I started playing the pinao. It's been about 8 years now that I started.
My dad also teaches me how to play the guitar, since he was in a band when he was younger

I've been playing the piano for about 7 years and just recently took up the violin 3 years ago.
