Title: Do you play a musical instrument?
Post by: froggylover227 on June 29, 2011, 07:48:47 pm
To be honest, I really can't play any musical instruments. I know the basics of piano and guitar, but nothing to brag about. My secret fantasy was always to be a hard-core electric guitarist playing a Fender Stratocaster with American flag decor. But just like a lot of crazy dreams, that one flew right out the window with adulthood. How about you? Any musical instruments that you can play?

I took piano for a while when I was a kid, but none of it stuck. I wish I could now though.

I sing, and I used to play violin, viola, cello, and clarinet.  I would love for my daughter to learn the piano.

I play piano.  I use to take lessons, and my teacher use to talk about me as if I had some sort of unusual talent.  Each year she'd even plan her recitals around me.  Then after 2 years of lessons, she wanted to sign me up for a statewide competition.  I'm not sure if I really had that much talent, but I never did much with it.  Just played in church.

I can play a keyboard, similarly like now I am an adult I don't find any time for my passion except for work at home. I understand the time is not the threat but I am unable to play!!

Me too I remember playing when I was much much younger now I can only remember certain chords but I could not play a song sometimes I wish I had kept at it but I do crochet so that is something creative that I do and it is more portable lol :wave:

I have always wanted to play an instrument but sadly never learned. I want piano lessons but can't afford them. My mothers side of the family is very musical but my dad's is not. Wish I would have got some of that natural talent from my mom's side!

Was forced to take 6 or 8 years of piano lessons as a child!    I am glad I did now.  I do not have anything memorized, but I can play most things with the sheet music.     Makes me feel good to play.     :)

Is tapping a spoon against the side of a beer bottle or water glass considered a musical instrument?  I didn't think so.  How about whistling?  Nope, I figured as much.  I guess I'll have to answer a resounding "no"... (although I can blow on a harmonica and make noises come out of it).

I used to play saxophone: soprano, alto, tenor and baritone.  I was in all state band/orchestra/jazz band and played professionally.  The tenor saxophone that I played was originally my fathers and, in what was a strike against my mother for leaving him, he took it back in my Junior year of high school.  I never played again.  I encourage my children to play and sing and pay for several sets of lessons for each and am treated everytime I go to their recitals.  I haven't spoken to my father since he took back the instrument.

I took lessons for piano when I was little and just didn't have the patients for it.  My sister stuck with it, and now that I'm older I wish I could play like her.

So far, I know how to play bass guitar, guitar, requinto (Spanish guitar 1/4 smaller than regular guitar), and a little bit of piano I plan on learning how to play more exotic instruments from all over the world. I encourage you all to learn as well.  :thumbsup:

I play the guitar and to be honest, I'm not that good at it. I used to think playing an electric guitar would be easier than a acoustic, but in the end they have the same learning curve.
