Anyone play an instrument?

Seeing as this is a forum for a singer with fans who listen to all kinds of artists and types of music I was wondering...anyone play an instrument? Casually or whatever?

I know a bit of classical guitar and am getting my new electric soon :

Gorgeous!

I want to learn Bass later on this year, I was going to start with it, but apparently it's easier to learn this and then pick it up.

Oh yeah I am teaching myself violin too (I have a lot of spare time...)

I wanted to play an instrument in school so bad but my Mother wouldn't let me, I didn't get to do most of the stuff I wanted to do in school like Gymnastics or play an instrument. I always wanted to play either the Violin or the flute. Those ones really stuck out to me. And I'm also reading La Corda D'oro and it makes me wish I did play one of them ; ;

Lol i came last in music actually...

I got 1/10 for playing the drums. My hands and legs just don't sync.
Guitars i also got 1/10. Damn too difficult for me lol.
Pianos/keyboards were much easier 10/10.

But i sucked with practical subjects from th start anyways, theory based lessons FTW !

But after those music lessons at school i don't play instruments anymore besides the rare occasions i feel like playing the ode to joy on the keyboarding at home XD!!

It is never too late! I am 18 now and I have only just started learning different things. An instrument can mean so many things to the person who plays it, IMO it's totally worth learning something on your own accord.


KuroixShiroi_Namida, you got to play these instruments in school?! Lucky, we did all theory based stuff, then at the very end of the term we would have to do a keyboard composition or sing something. Me and my friend did a rip of cover of Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady"

I've played the flute for eleven years, and I can sort of play the piano. I've also tinkered around with the oboe, recorder, and piccolo.

I can play the flute. Used to be pretty good at it but now I'm extremely rusty. Haven't played it in a long while. Nowadays I usually fiddle around with my friend's electric guitar and try to make some sense of it. Haha, if I'm lucky I can get a few notes and a chord or two down.

I played the flute and piccolo for six years, but haven't touched either much since I graduated from high school. I wasn't in any kind of band during college either. I can still play though if the urge ever hits. I was always really good at it too and while I may be a bit rusty nowadays, I can always polish up my skills when neccesary.

Woooo clarinet! I played plarinet through jr high and high school, as well as the bassoon for a year. I also took piano lessons for 6 years. Now I don't pay any instruments, but I remember how to read music so I can pick up most instruments... except drums. My boyfriend's the drummer, I'm definitly not!
