Play an Instrument?

[Yoda]

I play guitar, though not particularly well. I wish I had picked it up when I was younger.

 

[Tora Ziyal]

I played the piano for many years. Mostly classical music. I stopped for a couple reasons, the main one being carpel tunnel syndrome. I still miss it.

Have dabbled a bit with guitar and autoharp.

 

[C. Cole-Chakotay]

I play piano, organ, keyboard, recorder, and (very, very little) violin.

 

[Amaris]

I sing, and I also play the ukulele, trumpet, harmonica, drums, piano (poorly), guitar (poorly), and I once played a tuba, though I could barely reach it. That was in high school.

 

[C. Cole-Chakotay]

I used to sing until I developed vocal cord spasms. I really miss singing.

 

[Star Wolf]

I am waiting for an email with my Sunday set list to come in now. I play bass and still dabble with guitar and the single reeds and flute.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I can still play piano.

I used to play trombone when I was in high school though I haven't played one in years and I doubt I could ever muster it again - my lips just don't measure up.

Hmmmm.....

 

[Starbreaker]

I play trumpet. I actually want to get a new professional horn.

Trent will hook you up, Starbreaker.

I took piano lessons starting at age 6 until I was about 14, then just lost interest. I can't even remember how to read music.

I do sing fairly well, though -- well, I can carry a tune. In or out of the shower.

Really? I was worried about my ability to read music after not looking at any for a good 8 years, but I found that it instantly came back to me, and my fingers just knew where to go. Have you tried recently? -- and I don't mean that as a sarky question, just curious.

It's been over a decade since I last looked at a musical staff in anger. I used to know the arrangements of key signatures and repeats and even the differences between treble, alto, tenor and bass clefs like the back of my hand. It does come back to me, though - not just the technical knowledge of music theory, but all those associated memories of music lessons, exercises, orchestra rehearsals, the music we used to play and the teachers, conductors, chorus masters and fellow players I used to play with. Music memory is a powerful thing.

Bass, keyboards and drums, but haven't played in a band since I reluctantly became a grown-up .

Shared a house with a music student cellist at college, and used to love listening to her practice while studying. Very sonorous, especially Saint-Saens and Elgar.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

I love the Saint-Saens cello concerto.
