    I can play a few simple songs on the piano, and I own an acoustic guitar, but can't play it yet. I really want to learn to play guitar, but have to have money for lessons, and time for practicing. Still, it would be nice. I have some DVDs with which you can teach yourself to play, so might give that a try and just go for refinement lessons sometime

    I play drums when I feel like it, even though I don't so many beats. :slight_smile: I also played a little bit of bass years ago, but got bored.

    I played piano back in Elementary school, but I could never learn the note names for some reason and my teachers kind of gave up. I knew what keys were what notes on the paper but not the names. So I kind of just played the notes until I memorized them and I was pretty good and played for around 6 years but I wasn't into it so much so I quit. And then in 6th grade I joined band and played euphonium and the first year was really fun because it was just with the other euphoniums, but second year was with the whole band and it was too boring and I didn't want to practice the music and I quit by the end of the first week lol I think I was kind of immature then but I picked up art and that's my passion now.
    And then 2.5 years ago I started playing violin, and I really like violin, but it became a chore for me, and I never liked the practice, and since I'm so busy, it wasn't worth the time, money, and stress so I quit this summer. Kind of sad but I think I don't have time and I can pick it up again later probably :slight_smile:

    I play the guitar, started with an electric, standard fender. I have a semi and an acoustic too. I took band in middle school and a little bit of high school and played clarinet. I was actually really good but I haven't played in years after my clarinet was stolen. I can also play a little harmonica but I'm far from skilled in it.

    I played violin in elementary. Wanted to continue, but the violin belonged to the school and my parents never got me my own.

    I started singing when I was about 7 years old. I got first place at a singing contest. I don't sing as much as before, I've barely any reasons to really keep practicing it. I also used to play the trombone in middle school, playing it always made my cheeks hurt.

    I play flute, violin (and a little on the viola)... I also played a little classical guitar. During my university years, I played violin in the university's symphony orchestra. I also took private flute lessons to further my studies from what I did in high school. I still play today. Hopefully going to complete a diploma in flute soon :slight_smile:

    Going into grade 3 in piano
    I also played the tin whistle when I was what, 7, but I don't think that counts because it was just because we had to for school and I sounded terrible

    I have dabbled in a few instruments (guitar, keyboard, flute) but always just got bored and stopped. I don't think I'm cut out for music.

    I use to play the guitar, both electric and acoustic. But, my guitar ended up breaking several years ago and I have yet to buy a new one.

    I don't play anymore, but when I was between the ages of 10 - 14, I played the clarinet. I was in the school band, but I lost interest in it once I got into high school. We only had marching band at my high school, but I preferred more symphonic band. I can still probably play a little bit, but it's been a while.

    Also, throughout my childhood and teen years, I tried learning piano and guitar, but neither really stuck with me. I never had the dexterity or coordination haha. But I can play a tad bit, nothing spectacular haha.

    I have a ukulele that I fiddle around with every so often, but I can't actually play it. I really should learn though; I've been meaning to.

    As much as I love music, I've always been more of a writer than a musician lol. :shrug:

    I tried playing the sax back in 5th grade and i was okay at it but I quit after a month in because it was with my school and I couldn't stand the teacher.
