What Instrument(s) Do You Play?

[ACMESkydiver 0]

Inspired by skymama's 'What do YOU play' thread...

I played oboe, flute, and piccolo. I also played guitar for about 45 minutes. (It hurt my little fingertips! And I couldn't paint my nails! )

-how 'bout you?

I used to be pretty good at the trumpet. Now it's guitar, bass, mandolin, a little banjo and a little piano.

I used to play the guitar, recently I've started just building them instead....

Back in the day, I played the clarinet, bassoon and piano. We have a piano in the house, but I really haven't progressed since I was 12. My daughter has been playing for 9 years, she's really good. Right now she's working on Bohemian Rhaspody.

I almost bought a banged up piano...it was one of those that are up-and-down? you know, not like a grand piano, the other kind?

Anyhoo, I almost bought it because I know my 10 year old daughter would love it (she's playing cello now).

I just didn't know how to get it home, where to put it, or how to tune it.

I played piano competitively and "back in the day" won national championships in classical piano.

I merely dabble in: clarinet, drums, guitar.

I was in an ensemble when I was younger, though, and played all sorts of instruments depending on the genre.

I love music. We used to have to keep a different beat with each hand, each foot & sing all together (4 beats & sing a song). I definitely can't do that as well as I used to.

Edit: Hey speaking of that, sit in a chair and hold up your right leg and move it in circles clockwise. Then with your hand write the number 6 in the air. See if you can keep your foot from switching from clockwise to counter-clockwise.

That drives me nuts!

I used to play the drums in a punk band in high school. I haven't played them in years though. Not since before I moved away to college.

Hmmm...got a degree in trombone performance, but never touched it again after my graduation recital. Mom stole it from me so I wouldn't sell it to pay rent when I moved to NYC after college, so I'm sure I'll pull it out of their attic at some point and play around a bit again.

My parents did the same thing to many things they had given me or wanted to give me in college.

I'm soooooooo not a hold-on-to-this-or-that person. I like space. I like having shelves with nothing on them; just the option to put something on them.

If I'm not using it/haven't used it in a year then it's sold, donated or trashed thankyouverymuch.

I used to play Bass pretty seriously, but nowadays, it's only to have fun.

I'm kind of a pack rat, but I was also completely over the trombone by the time I graduated so I think she knew it would probably be one of the first things to go. I think she's more interested in having a full complement of instruments for grand kids (thankfully she hasn't gotten on to the kick about wanting those yet) to play with. She actually has a few of my old trombones, a trumpet, sax, a couple drum sets and I'm sure a few other random instruments that my siblings and I picked up over time.

I can't wait for the day she has a home full of grand kids and we pull out all of those instruments and she realizes the error of her ways!

I took both piano and vocal lessons for several years back in my teens. I wasn't very disciplined at either, so I didn't do my practises in between lessons. My parents have a grand piano and my brother can play it by ear. He never took a lesson but can play anything after he hears it once. He also has an incredible voice. I hate people like that...j/k.

Lately I have been considering re-visiting the piano and vocal lessons. I used to have a 3 1/2 octave range. Now, I'm lucky if I could sing 2 octaves.

That's the only musical I've ever seen that I disliked. It was just kind of creepy to me.

Our highschool did it, and the acting was incredible, the musical talent amazing, but i just couldn't enjoy it. -And a public highschool would never get away with doing that musical in today's society.

I play flute and guitar.

My cousin gave me a tin wistle he brought back from his trip to Dublin, but I don't know where / how I can learn to play it correctly.

As I was a music-ed major - you name it, I can play it - and make it sound decent

But my proficiency was in clarinet/sax and piano.

My favorites other than that were viola, cello and oboe. Sold my clarinet to go through AFF, not too sorry about it though because I couldn't play anymore anyway (jaw joint problems) - but there are alot of days when I miss piano.

Hubby says we can buy one next year... I'm practically holding my breath
