Sorry if there's another thread like this, who here plays any instruments and/or is in band?

I play the clarinet, and I'm in the school concert band, though I want to learn the trumpet somtime. Or the saxophone.

EDIT: Crap, there's already a topic. I gotta learn to look more.

I used to play the flute. I miss it.;_;

Posted by: Daphkipz Apr 13 2009, 03:15 AM

I play the clarinet and Alto Clarinet. I'm not playing this year though. I switched out for advanced chorus.

I used to play a violin, and was a member of a friend's band before I moved to Bremen.

Posted by: KaiReddtail Apr 13 2009, 08:40 PM

I have no talent and barely any patience for instruments.

I did take piano lessons, I can (sorta) play the ocarina, and someday hope to play the guitar. Just gotta try.

Posted by: Nathan Graves Apr 13 2009, 08:44 PM

I'll move this and merge this with the thread in the music section. It's an iffy case; the other one is really old in a somewhat dead forum so I'll just go with this.
EDIT: I'm locking the older one. It's not worth merging it.

Out of curiosity, soprano clarinet is basically a concert clarinet right? Well... IIRC concert Clarinets are pitched in Bb and soprano instruments are mostly, if not entirely, Bb instruments but... my music theory is still iffy.



Anyways, I stick to the tenor brass family... so basically Trombone and Euphonium. I'm decent at both and have been practicing trombone a lot lately... sometimes my tone is great and sometimes it's awful, and my technique is about as unstable. Iunno. But my Euphonium skill is at least consistent.

When I was younger I played flute and keyboard today I don't have enough time for it.

Posted by: Lazu Apr 23 2009, 02:06 PM

I took piano lessons before but I can't get myself to find enough time to practice for it.. I love listening to music with the piano in it though. I wish I could play other instruments like the violin, cello, guitar, and an erhu.

Posted by: Ballade May 3 2009, 01:27 PM

Hm, in the near future I will be learning trumpet (music major friends have benefits) but for now I'm in colorguard which is technically part of band. :P

Posted by: Icee May 3 2009, 01:52 PM

Ooh! I play the alto sax. =] I can play the piano once somebody points out middle C, and I'm wanting to learn how to play guitar.

My band is wicked lucky. Our concert is next week. The composer of our three pieces is actually coming to conduct two of our songs! O=

Posted by: dark thunder May 3 2009, 02:01 PM

lol i play the piano really well, and ive played the guitar for a while.


for piano, i had this really annoying teacher, although she was probably the best there is(she could here a classical song, know what it is, and play it prefectly.). seriously, she was like the best, but i switched out for another one.

you should make this a pole(like the last one) to see what the current majority of members play instruments and what instruments they are(make sure to make it multiple choice)

Posted by: Bosco May 9 2009, 10:25 PM

I play Piano, and have for a pretty long time. I can kind of play guitar and bass. I want to play Trumpet among many, many other instruments.

Posted by: Xdogking May 17 2009, 05:50 PM

I play the Tenor saxophone, and somehow, I naturally got the hang of it with no Musical Expirience before.

Posted by: Suzaku May 17 2009, 07:13 PM

I can play the drums, I have not in about a year.

Posted by: Valkyrie14 May 26 2009, 03:18 PM

I Play the guitar and the drums..... well, I'm still improving but i would like to play something like a violin or flute. They appeal to me. But i'd say they'd be quite hard to learn, Right?
Em, Band. Sort of. lol, same people, about 50 different names. playing around with the idea.

Posted by: Infinite May 26 2009, 03:22 PM

I played piano for like, eight years then quit for four and now I play again. Sort of wish I hadn't quit 'cause now I'm rusty on certain things, but it was what I really wanted to do at the time and it's pretty easy to pick up again.

Posted by: Hanabi May 26 2009, 09:11 PM

I play the flute, piano, drums + percussion...the recorder (lol), harmonica...what else...

Posted by: Ulquiorra Cifer Jun 16 2009, 02:17 PM

I can play the African drums. Used to play the tin whistle, but then I gave up on attending lessons.

Posted by: Aizalynn Marie Jun 16 2009, 02:18 PM

I played the flute for half a semester. The only song I could play is Mary had a Little Lamb. I think I might have liked it more and wanted to actually play if I was able to take it at my own pace and wasn't forced into stuff that I might have enjoyed it.

Posted by: Sinned Banana Jun 17 2009, 07:07 PM

Oh yeah, I can play the cowbell too.

Violin, but I have to give it up at the end of the month because we can't afford it anymore. ;A;

Posted by: Do not ask Jun 18 2009, 05:44 PM

Posted by: Nezzie Jun 30 2009, 11:22 PM

I used to play the violin - until the E string snapped and the peg holding the G string fell off. I'm too lazy to get it fixed...


I'm also slowly in the process of learning to play the piano.

Posted by: Kareki Jul 1 2009, 05:44 PM

LOL @eagleblackbelt X3

I've wanted forever to play piano. Instead of actually learning how to learn to play, I've learned one song at a time for about three songs. XD Not as productive.

Posted by: Snowpaw Jul 4 2009, 07:16 PM

Clairnet rules! I played it for 4 years then I got my braces on which made it harder. I was going to learn trombone with my friend but the orthodontist said no.

I play Clarinet and Alto Sax!

Posted by: Thunderstarry Jul 5 2009, 02:38 PM

I sing (my voicebox is the instrument) and play the flute, and before I left school I was a member of lots of choirs, a flute choir and a woodwind band. Hopefully I'll be able to join more music groups at University. Oh, and I also have an electric guitar I'm teaching myself to play - progress is very slow.

Posted by: Banette Jul 6 2009, 09:01 AM

I CAN'T play them because my parents don't think I can keep the interest alive. Geez...

I want to learn the guitar and the piano though... and maybe the violin.

Posted by: Toda Aug 2 2009, 12:11 AM

I play the bass.....and......the flute.....

Posted by: Snowchan Aug 2 2009, 12:27 AM

In school I plated the clarinet, the bass clarinet, sax, and baritone.

I've also dabbled with piano and guitar.

Posted by: Black Ice Aug 2 2009, 02:07 PM

Piano for 8-9 years, guitar for 2. I quit guitar two years ago, but I still know how to play from both notes and tabs. I'm getting pretty bored with the piano too so I think I might just stop taking lessons.

Posted by: Shinya Aug 3 2009, 12:15 AM

Har i used to play the flute! i hate it now...

Posted by: Ruki Aug 3 2009, 12:43 AM

Can't quite remember if I answered here or not. O_o;

I used to play flute- not anymore- but I can play guitar and drums to a certain extent. If only I owned my own drum set... I'd be all set for life.

Posted by: GoldenHorse1990 Aug 16 2009, 07:50 AM

I dont play any instrumental, but if i could pick one i would pick the piano.
Heard so many good songs played with a piano.
All I do is sing..

Posted by: Dingowolf Aug 16 2009, 07:48 PM

I play piano ^^ Been playing since elementary school.
In middle school I played viola, but I dropped out of orchestra when I went to high school. Kinda glad I did...but it was fun while it lasted.

Posted by: draconitas Aug 17 2009, 08:57 AM

I play the piano and know enough chords on the guitar to play a few simple songs. The recorder, too, if that counts.

I also play the bagpipes. ..anyone else? XD

Posted by: Titorammy Aug 18 2009, 12:29 AM

I play the Clarinet, in high school, as a freshman, but life is good

-snatches sister's flute-

I can play the Flute too!

And I can play a piano like a five year old!

Posted by: Nayz Aug 18 2009, 12:34 AM

Not anymore.

In elementary school I played the "drums." We never actually had any drums....just sticks and the floor. How misleading to call it the drum ensemble especially since I really wanted a drum set when I was young.

A year later I played the recorder but that was required.

I have a keyboard in my room I like to play but haven't played anything on it in a while. I never had lessons. Just played by ear.

Posted by: Avyuir Aug 20 2009, 01:49 AM

I play the flute and saxophone but I also know how to play the bass guitar and trumpet :p

Posted by: Pokii Sep 11 2009, 02:10 PM

I'm gonna pin this thread, to avoid repeats.

Also, I used to be last chair trumpet. The only thing I could play well was the Song of Time from Legend of Zelda. I can also play Saria's Song and the Song of Storms on piano. I also play a pretty mean kazoo

Posted by: Outsane Sep 11 2009, 07:47 PM

I play guitar, but I almost feel bad about mentioning it because it's so overrated. But I'll mention it anyway because I've been playing since I was 4 years old. I also played the clarinet in elementary school, and I could play the Star Wars theme and some of the music from Pirates of the Caribbean. That's about it though.

Posted by: PokeJohn Sep 11 2009, 07:49 PM

i play clarinet too at my school

Posted by: Allmah Sep 13 2009, 05:34 PM

I used to play trumpet for two years in middle school, and though I haven't really played in a long time, I often pick my trumpet up and I remember enough of the musical terms and notes to be able to read sheet music fairly easily. I've been trying to teach myself piano, but it's so hard! My mind just can't comprehend using two hands at once.

Posted by: Axerth Sep 19 2009, 09:20 AM

I've been learning guitar. :D It's terribly fun, though I can't say I'm any good at it yet.

Posted by: John102 Sep 21 2009, 08:53 PM

But mods are suppose to be good at everything with the exception of modding. This defies everything I've learned =0

I play the alto sax, I'm currently first chair =B I'm thinking of switching to the soprano sax though.

Posted by: Cybele Sep 25 2009, 02:06 AM

Hmmm...well, I can play the clarinet, or any clarinet-like instrument. (Bass, contrabass, Eb, etc.) I also know how to play some flute, and a small amount of guitar. Though I've been wanting to learn the trombone, trumpet, and saxophone for some time...

My true passion, however, is in piano-playing. I fell in love with it ever since my band teacher recommended it to me. I'm still rubbish at it, but I'm making some progress.

Posted by: Admiral Cereus Sep 25 2009, 11:02 AM

Fairly long list to a degree...

-Korean Drums
-Korean Zither
-Korean Flute
-Cello
-Violin
-Viola
-Piano
-Concert Grand Harp
-Celtic Harp

I absolutely loved playing the harp and hope that I can play it again someday. Current circumstances prevent me from being able to. *sigh*

Posted by: Lunar Angel Mitsuki Sep 28 2009, 07:34 AM

I play the tenor-saxophone. And I used to play the clarinett and flute. But that's about it...

I love playing music from Pirates of the Carribean and Lord of the Rings!

Posted by: Chatot Sep 28 2009, 10:25 AM

Flute, keyboard, and eventually the drums.
I play the flute in a marching band, too. AHS!

Posted by: alioia Oct 2 2009, 06:29 AM

I play the trumpet, and I'm currently teaching myself how to play the piano. Also, I know how to play other brass instruments like the Euphonium if I ever needed to, and I can play a little bit of guitar and drums. I would like to be able to play the violin or harp, although I would need lessons to learn how to play them.

Posted by: JUiCE Oct 2 2009, 06:10 PM

i started playing acoustic guitar when i was 10
alot of my family members listen to Heavy Metal (and they arent white =O...lol)
then i got into electric guitar at age 11 and studied from day to night all the greats and my favorite guitarist Zakk Wylde
then time passed, still played guitar, the most difficult technique on guitar that i could do was sweep arpeggios and basically arpeggio notes with legato

then i learned to play drums, i would mostly play motorhead, (old) metallica, megadeth, and mainly SLAYER! cause its fun and a good work out on drums.

and then ever since 06' ive been playing bass cause its badass, want me to prove you wrong? check out Billy Sheehan, Robert Trujillo Geddy Lee and Geezer Butler

and a year ago i learned to mess with the keyboards its awesome
and 5 months ago i started taking lesson from my friends uncle on how to use the turntables

btw, yes i still play all those instruments
ill post pictures of my instruments

when you have wealthy parents who worked their asses off their whole life, they will encourage you to do the same, i fucking love my parents<3 (lol)
u can get sweet stuff as this
i got 10 guitars (2 gibsons(one of them a les paul and another a flying V), 2 ESP guitars, one a dave mustaine signature, another being a jeff hanneman signature, a jackson, white/gold randy rodes signature with, a steve vai ibanez, VAI2K DNA(extremely rare guitar), a PRS santana signature, B.C rich custom made FOR ME!!!^^ and another b.c rich kerry king signature. and finally my gibson epiphone acoustic guitar.

4 bass guitars

I play the clarinet, me and my best friend do. I am in the middle school band. I love playing the clarinet and I practice for 2 hours or more every day I am in 6th grade!

Posted by: JelloJolteon2000 Oct 4 2009, 05:07 PM

Started playing the flute in 4th grade, did the spring concert's Star Spangled Banner the next year, and last year (7th grade) my band director gave me the piccolo for marching band (a privilege generally reserved for 8th graders) so I'll probably do any of the concert band fenzies with it now. Currently, I'm aiming to get my mom to Ebay a piccolo for me for Christmas, I don't want to have to give it up when I go to high school.

I can figure out how to play the melodies of things like oracion on the keyboard (I simply can't get my two hands to do different things), and I understand the basic concepts of trumpet, trombone, saxophone and clarinet and percussion. But I want to learn to play the violin.

Posted by: Alaylith Oct 9 2009, 10:25 AM

I tried to learn flute and piano once, but sadly I did not have any talent and now I have no time for stuff like that.

Posted by: songwithnosoul Oct 10 2009, 08:52 PM

Big band nerd chiming in; I play the trombone and the guitar, and I'm proud of it! Trombone's with a couple of groups, but guitar is a more solo thing.

Flute and piccolo, FTW~ I've been playing for six years, and next year I'll be in the college band, which will be a new experience for me~

I've pretty much excelled in both middle school and high school bands. I'm now a Senior in high school, and I've bested nearly everyone in my band, as well as my AP Music Theory class when it comes to Music Theory.

I love band a lot and I plan on majoring in Music Education so that I can be a high school band director someday~

Music = life~

Posted by: Black Fire Jan 14 2010, 04:56 PM

I play bass guitar, because it sounds better than normal guitar in my opinion, plus I absolutely DESPISE plectrums...

I played drums for a while, but apparently some people find them 'noisy' and 'irritating'... I don't know what they're talking about...

Posted by: chileboi Jan 16 2010, 04:38 AM

Posted by: Sonny Jan 21 2010, 12:02 AM

I can play a few instruments.
Double Bass (String Bass, Upright Bass, whatever you wish to call it :P ), bass guitar, guitar, steel drums and various concert percussion instruments (timpani, vibraphone, marimba etc.).
I'm looking to learn ukelele and either trombone or baritone sax.

Posted by: Internet Jan 21 2010, 04:01 PM

I don't really play any instrument.
But I can play a tiny bit on a piano if that counts. \o/

Posted by: Dynein Jan 23 2010, 10:42 PM

I play the trombone, the harmonica, and the pipe organ quite well. I'm also an acceptable trumpet and piano player. I can play several chords and one or two simple songs on the guitar, too, but that doesn't count. XD Oh, and I'm a seasoned singer, if that counts. Sopranos FTW!

Posted by: Unholy Shadow Jan 24 2010, 12:09 AM

I can play clarinet and I'm teaching myself violin. That's about all I do.

Posted by: Lord Raven Jan 24 2010, 12:22 AM

trombone

what kinda trombone do you use? i use a yamaha knockoff that works almost as well as my teacher's conn 88H.
i want to try trumpet one day. it's a shame i can only read like three notes and play the right note off them, and that would be the three Cs...

Posted by: Dynein Jan 24 2010, 12:51 AM

I play a 10 year old student series Bach trombone. It's been my best friend for many, many years and still plays like a dream.

Posted by: Vancyon Jan 26 2010, 12:33 PM

I can play the clarinet, piano, xylophone (Duh, any piano player can. :P), and the alto and tenor saxophones.

Posted by: Lord Raven Jan 26 2010, 03:32 PM

you need to upgrade. intermediate and advanced models, especially bachs, work even better.

if you can cough up 4K i recommend a stradivarius 42T. or maybe i'm just vicariously trying to live through you.

Posted by: Dynein Jan 26 2010, 11:26 PM

Oooh, yeah. I know I need to move up the ranks a little, and I do plan on upgrading in a few years. I've always wanted to get Stradivarius. However, I don't really see the need to spend the money to upgrade from the old Bach at the moment. A student series is good enough for a non-music major who only does pep band. XD

Posted by: Lord Raven Jan 27 2010, 02:40 PM

oh wait, then yeah you're fine. i enjoy concert band so...

Posted by: Bubbly Feb 12 2010, 11:08 PM

I've played the piano since I was six (14 now), and I must say I'm pretty amazing. ^^ I'm playing Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata now, getting better at it (if you've played it, you're awesome). I also used to play the oboe in band before I switched to Euphonium last year (hi, Raven). I'm surprised; I actually managed to catch up to the band in just about 2 or 3 weeks, meaning I skipped about 2 years. (I started band in 5th grade) The oboe was actually ridiculously hard, glad I switched. Plus all that stupid swabbing, cork grease, etc. Euphonium just needs some oil and you're good to go. XD
Not to mention I can also probably still play the recorder. Almost no one else mentioned that in this topic I think. :/

I'm playing the electric guitar for... almost 2 years now? Yeah, something like that.
It goes pretty well I guess and I can play some songs, I'm not very good or something though XD.
I also attempted to play the ocarina, without success XD

I am learning the guitar and because of school and fruitless job hunting I am very out of practice. I used to be able to switch between E, A, and D2 well but now I must begin again at square one. I hope to be able to play songs by thanksgiving so I can perform for my family.

I used to play trumpet, but I gave it up after I got braces and never really went back to it. I also passively play electric bass guitar, more of a "when I get bored" thing. I like the sound that it makes.

I play the flute, and the piano whenever I'm bored (I can hardly play either..) I plan to quit the flute next year though. I wish I could just do color guard and not have to worry about symphonic band.. (At my highschool, marching band is the same class as symphonic)

But I like to sing. Voice = instrument :3?

Posted by: FlareFox7921 May 1 2010, 10:48 PM

I play...10! Keyboard and guitar I took/take lessons for. I quit piano lessons 2 years ago, yet I can still play pretty well. How can one person play 10 instruments, you ask? Percussion in band. Most people think of percussion as drums, but it is much more. Snare drum and bells are what we play most often, but we learn new instruments when there is a concert coming up. I learned: Bass drum, triangle, crash cymbal, suspended cymbal, wood block, and cow bell. It's pretty easy, as the tequniques are pretty much the same for most instruments.

Posted by: Rzx282 May 5 2010, 01:03 AM

Piano, my first instrument. Love it, still play it to this day.

French Horn, only took up because my dad played it really good. Not really a fan, but I don't mind.

Guitar. Still learning though. Class that was supposed to teach it, we touched the guitars maybe twice during the entire semester =\

Flute. Still learning, gotta figure out how to control my airflow so I don't pass out after five seconds >.>

Trumpet. Had to for a couple years during marching band because the school didn't have marching Horns.

Drums and percussion. Learning still, but had to learn to play them the last time I took marching band cause they didn't have room for me on the field with everyone else.


I also have a Japanese flute (forgot exactly what it's called) that I want to learn, but it's my aunt's and I don't have any way of talking to her about it (I'd rather get her permission first).


I also like to sing. Thought I should add that too, since everywhere I go the voice is considered an instrument as well.

Posted by: Delia Ketchum May 5 2010, 01:04 AM

The piano is the only instrument that I can play without sounding like a retard 8(
It's such a beautiful instrument, honestly. I've been playing for about three years though, have many more to do.

Posted by: Pidgey Pox Jul 27 2010, 11:59 PM

Well, I started on piano. I still play it on occasions, but I prefer electronic keyboards.
My second instrument was... recorder, of course. It's actually a really nice instrument once you know how to play it properly.
I play trombone also, which is my main instrument. I'm just better at it than anything else for some reason, probably because I took lessons from a man that (at the time) was the director of the Navy band. But yeah, I'm just way better at trombone.
I picked up tuba last year, and I'm decent at it.

Posted by: Heather Mason Aug 8 2010, 08:52 PM

I've been playing piano for over 15 years. Funny thing is that I can't stand reading music, but I love playing by ear. :/ It's just the way I am.

And if you consider the voice an instrument, I also sing and have been all my life.

Posted by: knil1 Aug 8 2010, 09:00 PM

violin. It's the most compact of string instruments and it's beautiful.
Ich liebe meine geige! XD

Granted, I need a new one because the one i have isn't really a "long-term" kinda violin, and I need to upgrade. But it won't never be played again.


I also understand the piano, but I don't have any form of tutoring or practice, so i can basically just play simple ode to joy and twinkle twinkle little star...
But i guess i should learn itifi want to learn harp. another pretty instrument.

Posted by: Tymid Aug 8 2010, 09:06 PM

Hehe, I'm a band kid. <3

I play clarinet and piano, but I'm a voice major. The voice still counts as an instrument, right?

Posted by: Growlithe Guitarist Aug 14 2010, 10:43 PM

Yup, definitely. ^^ I've always wanted/needed to take vocal lessons. I love singing but I'm really not too great at it. x'D

As for other instruments, I play...

Guitar - Going about 5 years strong, since I got my fender stratocaster on my birthday before freshman year of high school. The strat is still my main guitar, although once I get the money, I'd like to buy a cherry Gibson SG.

Bass Guitar - I only started self-teaching myself this January. I bought an Ibanez GSR200 (nothing fancy mind you, but I like it, and I got it for a good price ) and a couple bass starting books and got to work. I'm still pretty shoddy at my skills, but I'm working on it.

Violin - I played violin since 4th grade when I joined my elementary school orchestra (made up of me plus four other kids...let's just say band was more popular o-o) and I've taken a lot of private lessons and been in orchestra every year for it (this will be my first year without orchestra Although I will be in jazz band for college). I also have an electric violin due to my love of Ed Alleyne Johnson's work - blame him for his awesomeness. x'3

Piano - Err, not fantastic at piano, but it was my very first musical instrument at a young age. I picked up on it again recently when I got a keyboard to help study Music Theory. I still seem to struggle with getting both my hands coordinated together but I'm getting there. I'd really like to get better at piano; it's such a lovely instrument.

...geez, that rant didn't seem very necessary, did it?

Posted by: BROADWAY Aug 15 2010, 10:42 AM

Ooh, yay! ^^;
I play:
The Flute -- I play classical in a Wind Ensemble and jazz in a jazz band.
The saxophone -- I plan to play this instrument in a jazz band. I'm still learning it though. xD
The viola -- Classical music x)
The cello -- Classical music!
And I sing. I was part of a county-wide audition based children choir, a county-wide, teacher-selected choir, and an honors chorus. I used to take vocal lessons, but I do not anymore. If you look at my name ... you can see that I am interested in musical theatre! nowadays, that's all I sing. And singing is definitely considered a musical instrument. There may not be notes and such, but it takes time and effort to create the sort of sound that you desire. -nods-

If you're wondering, generally I'm labeled as a flutist or a singer. xD

Posted by: Darkness of Zoroark Sep 5 2010, 08:16 PM

I play many instruments:

I started playing piano when I was 3, and have been ever since then. So I have a good 10+ years of experience in the piano (I don't think I'm that great, however). It's not my "main" instrument, though; I started learning the harp several years later, and I still play it to this day. It's such a fun instrument to play, though it sure does break my back trying to transport it! xD

And since the voice is an instrument, I am bass. :-)

By the end of my senior year, I'll also know how to play: flute, saxaphone, barry sax, alto sax, trumpet, french horn, tuba, trombone, baritone, bass clarinet... And I think that's it.

I am in my school Concert Band, Jazz Band, and Marching Band. I am also in my school choir/chorus.
I was lucky enough to be in both Band Fest 2010, Chorus Fest/Song Fest 2010, and Marywood Honours Band (Honours Band; Band A) 2010. Both bands for percussion.

I love music, and love playing music. Although, I only play the Saxophone at the moment. I am really curious at playing other instruments once I have mastered the art of the Saxophone (so, never :P). I love the saxophone and love its sound, I love the versatility of it and the fact that, once you are good with one Saxophone, you are good with ALL saxophones.

Been playing piano for ~10+ Years, but got bored and am quitting this summer.
I've taken on the Bass Guitar around 2 years ago, (to get at least some joy from playing music), loved it and...
... got myself my first electric guitar around 1 year later, because I got tired of the often dull bass lines. My first guitar was a pain in the a** to tune, because it had a cheap Floyd Rose, but I loved playing the guitar nonetheless. Around 6 months ago, my dad brought home a drumset from the dump (literally). And, well, it's been doing its job so far pretty well.

4 instruments so far xD

I play piano and guitar, as well as starting ukelele. I've only been playing for a few days but it's so similar to guitar that it's not too hard. I'm joining a band for the ukelele. *nod*

I play guitar, but just for pleasure.

Posted by: Synixthedragon Jan 3 2013, 11:39 AM

sorry if this is classed as necro posting, but music is one think i just can't be without.

i play 4 instuments, although the first two i might struggle with now since i've not played them for years XD

first learnt the recorder (don't we all XD) and played for at least 3 years, took part in an orcasta at this time and played a couple of gigs.
next i moved on to keyboards because i wanted more range since the music i was begining to like at this time had more notes then a recorder could hit.
then i began to get into rock music and descovered the love of my life: the guitar and i've played that ever since.
been playing for about 5 years now me thinks, and have played several gigs, be it by myself like at Kevfest, or with my old band Wild Child or BH/DM (changed names) and i'm proud and honoured to say my playing has seen me in newspapers several times. here, have a clipping: http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2009/357/5/6/20th__Me_on_stage_by_Dragon_fang2.jpg
i've also messed around with drums as well, i can play but nothing fancy like triplet kicks or blast beats.

edit: changed from image to link as the image was huge.

I never played an instrument but I can sing. I used to be in choir for a while.

I played bassoon in highschool, dabbled in piano from time to time...

mostly, I play the radio.

I am 12, I am in my Middle School jazz band, high school Jazz Band, Districts which is all professional instrumentalists so and play at a concert at UMass, and I am in Quabin Valley which only is by invite, and you must be really good. I have like 25 pieces to learn but I am fine. I play the Tenor Saxophone.

Posted by: Kamaitachi Jan 6 2013, 08:08 PM

I'm a professional violinist.

Posted by: TheSketchQueen Feb 9 2013, 02:54 PM

Well, I'm not in band, but I am in orchestra, and I'm first chair second violin (i.e. the only one that can be heard cuz no one else is playing). I also sing a lot, and write my own songs, and sort of play the piano.

Posted by: Zureseus Feb 21 2013, 07:27 AM

I play the piano, and it feels so good when you play it and sing at the same time. The emotions are in there, and you can really feel it. Also, I really want to learn how to play the violin and the harp.

I also used to play the flute when I was still in high school.

ive been a bassist for several years

Posted by: Kiwani Apr 19 2013, 06:47 PM

I have a violin, and a tenor saxophone, which I also know how to play. I don't know exactly how to play the violin, but I want to though.

Posted by: Gorgon Apr 19 2013, 07:53 PM

I play the alto saxophone (third chair like a boss). I absolutely adore the thing, though I'm not much good without a lot of practice.
Marching Band is my whole life once it starts. I'm not afraid to admit it.

Posted by: Touko Fukawa Apr 19 2013, 10:59 PM

I've been playing piano for a little over a year, and I'm getting better at it, I guess. I also sing sometimes, but I'm not very good uvu;;

Posted by: Pokegirl1116 May 3 2013, 03:49 PM

I been playing violin for like 3 years now. I also know how to play the recorder and a little bit of guitar.

Posted by: Lackluster May 3 2013, 11:10 PM

I play guitar, cello and electric bass pretty actively. THEN AGAIN it's part of my current job, I work at Guitar Center. To those who replied about band/orchestra I totally miss it too sigh

Posted by: Kaos May 19 2013, 12:47 AM

I play flute and piano, and used to play violin.
Been wanting to learn violin again but I don't have time. lD

Posted by: sapphiress May 20 2013, 07:14 PM

I've been playing the violin for 15 years now but haven't seriously played much recently. Also play guitar and ukulele and like to dabble on the piano!

I play clarinet and saxophone!!
I haven't in quite a while though, I kind of miss it.
;-;

I found an old violin missing a string in my cupboard when I first moved into this house 16 years ago. That's probably the closest I came to playing an instrument lmao.

I was also learning guitar a few years back. Kind of quit it though, because I just don't have the hands for it. It's definitely better to learn an instrument from an early age. I just couldn't get the chords

My boyfriend has also nicked my guitar, actually. Just reminded me.

I played viola from fifth grade all the way through the end of high school...but alas, as the viola I used was a school instrument, I no longer can. :c

I play piano a little bit—I took lessons for a couple of years in elementary, but my teachers kept moving away, so I never got really far. I can play melodies by ear pretty well, though, and can read sheet music with some effort.

...Does voice count as an instrument here? Because I also sing.

Posted by: DragonDoesMinecraft Dec 6 2013, 09:32 PM

I am currently in the school guitar club and learning how to play recorder.
I hope voice counts as an instrument. I sing.

Posted by: kipwi Dec 14 2013, 02:34 PM

I've played piano for twelve years and clarinet in the band for five. I wish to learn guitar, flute, and violin.

Posted by: pinkpachirisu Dec 25 2013, 11:39 AM

I've played viola since I was 7 so I guess it's my ninth year of playing it, wow But yeah I can also play some other instruments like guitar and piano, but not as well as the viola

Oh, and I almost forgot that I sing too and I'd have the opportunity to be in a band but I don't have time for that ):

Posted by: Doge Jan 12 2014, 11:11 AM

I've played piano for 7 years and Clarinet for 5 years. I want to learn how to play the trumpet.

Posted by: Serris Mar 9 2014, 03:40 PM

I have played piano, thanks to university. I mainly play guitar, and have been self taught since... 2006. Landed myself a wonderful guitar, that is hidden behind these spoiler tags:

♡ I played the clarinet while I was in middle school, and I picked up on playing the melodica a few years back due to my obsession with Steam Powered Giraffe at the time. I'd love to learn how to play a stringed instrument, hm.

Posted by: The True DragonForce Jan 30 2016, 07:58 PM

I play Guitar and Bass. Have played em for 4 years now. I play in a solo project called Illusionary Funeral.

Posted by: rusted tampon May 20 2016, 02:07 PM

I play a djembe drum sometimes. I would love to learn piano, ukulele, flute, and acoustic guitar. I've also wanted to make dubstep with a computer DJ program, but I don't have a setup or supplies.

Posted by: AkaDoragon Jun 10 2016, 05:09 AM

I do play the piano but I'm not in any band just because I'm playing only for fun (hobbie) and for me. I started playing like 2-3 years ago

Posted by: dragonite101 May 11 2017, 12:56 PM

I play the trumpet, and I'm in the school concert band, though I want to learn the clarinet sometime.

gotta go fast!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Aquakyogre Oct 18 2017, 09:01 AM

I was part of a band as a drummer, and participated in orchestra as violinist back in my high school days.

Posted by: Inkwel Feb 20 2018, 11:48 PM

I've played the trumpet for 6 years now, and own a guitar, piano, violin, and piano but I don't know how to play any of them very well. I want to go into film scoring/music education so I would love to learn them but I just can't find the motivation or time to do so. I only got good at trumpet because it was part of school so I practice daily.

Posted by: StarNightingale Feb 27 2018, 12:41 PM

I played violin when I was really young and then played flute for a few years in school. Unfortunately, I haven't played anything in a couple years and I miss playing music a lot but it's just not in the cards right now.

Posted by: sublinket Aug 17 2018, 01:20 PM

I used to play guitar and saxophone.

Posted by: JackiesDeck May 13 2020, 03:37 AM

Oh, nice to see so many musicians here, especially string and woodwind enthusiasts. Personally I'm into the rhythm section. Like many of you, I was starting with standard 6-string guitar but later I switched to 4 and 5 string bass as well as drums. Though currently, I don't have a gig base I practice at home with an electronic drum kit like https://simplydrum.com/p/alesis-nitro-mesh-kit/, which makes it easier to record too.

Posted by: Trainer Emily May 13 2020, 04:36 AM

I am a pianist! I found it difficult studying music because I play by ear which is very misunderstood as "can't read music and has no purpose in the musical world." I can read music, but the process is much slower for me rather than playing it back in my mind. I write my own music and can sing which is lucky for me because I don't know many people who can sing to help me record my songs. In the past I have played around with clarinets, flutes, drums, guitars and trumpets, but found none of them peaked my natural interest as much as a piano. It's my secret love, classical music playing, particularly Chopin.

It's so cool to see how many other people also play an instrument!

Acoustic guitars, electric guitars, keyboard, guitar accessories, digital pianos, studio gear, drums having topmost brands such as Ibanez, Cort, Casio, Hohner, Jackson, Korg are the best musical instruments. The sound quality is great.
