Instruments!

[Mazeay]

The old instruments topic died, I believe D: I checked through the last few pages so sorry if I missed it.

Anyway what instruments do you play? I just started playing saxophone this year in band and I love it, it makes such a nice sound, and I've played harmonica since my brithday last year (and it's NOT as easy as it seems.) and I can play a few random songs like happy birthday and most of The Beatles songs on it.

So what instruments do you play/did you play/do you want to play/do you love/do you hate/yeah ?

WELL. I used to play the recorder in grade five, and I took violin lessons for strings in grade six. =]

I was pretty bad at both. ;D My dad was the one who took piano lessons in the house, but then he decided that it wasn't really his thing and quit.

So, I taught myself to play. =] But I haven't touched or played anything in years because I have such a busy schedule ! D:<

I'm pretty obsessed with the clarinet at the moment, though. 8D

I used to play recorder but I stopped when I started learning the flute. I have played the flute since 2006 and I played the recorder form 2003-2005. I also have a keyboard but it's not a real one.

I taught myself to play piano. For a very short while in grade six, I played the flute and the oboe--and by "short while," I mean about four months or so. ;

My next project is to learn violin. I think it's a very beautiful instrument.

Oooo, I love instrument topics! I played the piano for a few years when I was in elementary school. I was in band for a year in middle school and played the flute. From then on, I became an "orch dork" when I learned how to play the violin. That's where I am now. I've been playing for 10 years and counting. I would love to pick up piano again and I think it'd be neat to try the drums. If I were to pick another wind instrument to try out, it'd be the oboe. Maybe when I have more time on my hands.

Stylophone. Basically a mini version of a synthesizer.

Omg, yes! I play the oboe and it's so awesome! This is my sixth year playing, and I love it, it just has such a unique, rich sound. I've gotten quite good at it over the years too, if I do say so myself.

 

This is also my third year playing the alto saxophone. I learned in 8th grade in preparation for marching band, and that's really the only time I play it, for marching. I still do like it though, and it's really easy to pick up after playing oboe because the fingerings are almost identical and the embouchure is a lot easier than on the oboe.

 

If I learn another instrument, it'll probably be either flute or trumpet. I don't think I'll ever learn a stringed instrument at this point because it's too hard. xP

I played the flute all throughout highschool, and I marched the piccolo and played it for a few concert songs in grades 11 and 12. Now, I find that I have no time for band in college which makes me quite sad. I would have been a music major, but the life of a musician can be tough and extremely time-consuming, especially if you're part of an orcestra which has a whole season of traveling! Other than that, I could be a music teacher, but I don't know if that's exactly my thing.

I play the Mandolin, but am very much a beginner. I love the sound and the diversity of the instrument. I can't play chords, but I love to pick the melody line. I hope one day to play really, really fast.

Please share your love of your instrument and your growing abilities.

I play acoustic and electric guitarrrrr and the piano... Mandolin sounds really chill... ever hear the song 'Battle of Evermore' by Zeppelin? good mandolin song, bro...

I can play Eight Melodies on piano and sing along with it. xD

 

[TAMAGIRL2008]

What did I get myself into? xD

Know I said I was playing piano in the Junior Jazz band? Turns out they wanted a guitarist so I said ok.

I now have to play the most complicated chords in the world and I'm playing at the same gig as my dad xD
