    Oop, forgot to add, I might try and learn the ocarina at some point as I have a plastic, but functioning one. Proved by my Dad as when I first got it, he played a few chords. No idea where he learnt that.

    I play just a lil bit of guitar. This summer I'm buying a keyboard to play. I've just got some problems finding one that isn't super expensive and still have what I want.

    I really love music and I'm kinda mad at my self for not starting earlier with this. But it's never too late. Besides, I've heard from various people that I have talent and I do learn very quickly. A good singing voice on top of that would be great. But that won't happen.. ever.

    I play the guitar, acoustic and electric. I also can play Bass Guitar and a bit of drums. I tried to play piano, but personally, I found it a boring instrument to learn... :/

    I'm pretty sure I can sing quite well. I used to be able to play the recorder but I've forgotten that since.
    I want to learn to really play a xylophone for some reason :grin: And piano.

    It's adorable to watch people who've clearly just started learning guitar, and they can only downstrum. You'll master it in some time, just by flicking your wrist on one string and gradually building up.

    Chords are fun once you learn how to switch between them. I've been playing for 5 years, and I still get jumbled up with fingers, so no shame.

    Anyway, yeah. I play the guitar, drums, and ukelele. (5 years, 3 years, 4 years.) I know a little bit of piano from my dad, and my mum plays bass and cello so I come from a musical family. I played the violin in middle school but it bored me so much so I gave up, and switched to guitar. :slight_smile:

    I can play the clarinet. Or used to, I haven't played since middle school, but I remember the basics.

    And I've self-taught myself on the piano. I don't really know the proper playing etiquette or terminology for anything, but I can watch someone else play a song and learn it that way.

    I studied Drum kit techniques in London for a year, then wrote for a national music magazine for 4 years. I have five educational books for sale from Amazon (and other places) where I receive royalties; but with all of this, I feel like the biggest failure that ever lived. :icon_sad:

    Yup, violin, piano, saxophone, recorder, flute, glockenspiel, harp and guitar :slight_smile:

    (I'm just a beginner when it comes to harp and I'm only a lil advanced on guitar :slight_smile:)

    + I used to sing at public events, but nowadays I only sing when I'm alone, mostly while driving :grin:

    Yup. Piano, all types of saxophone, flutes, and clarinets, a little bass guitar, and I am alright at harmonica. However, I am cursed with the most horrible singing voice imaginable.

    The violin and cello are the only two I really play-play.

    I'm playing with a guitar at the moment, purely because it's in the house and no one has touched it in a year. Not really bothering to play it properly, but I do like the sounds it can make when alternating between plucking, strumming and patting.
