nope, I was in band once well not really it was back in Jr. high and every 2 weeks they'd switch our electives, for two weeks we'd have band and then they next two weeks we'd have something else. so that was the only time I'd play and instrument. but my boyfriend can play guitar and piano.

Before middle school, I studied playing electric piano for nearly 5 years. And I can still remember I took the big electric piano every week by myself to school to study. But after graduating from primary school, I stopped studying it and have not touched the keys for more than ten years. Now I have totally forgotten how to play it. Really sad about that when I have spent so many time and made so much effort on it.

I wish I did! In college I started taking piano my last year, but about three weeks in I broke my wrist pretty good and was in a big cast. It makes learning really really difficult. I want to try learning again, but not sure exactly when I will have time, probably will take a class next summer! There is some beautiful piano music that can be played really simply.

I play the piano by ear. I can read music a little bit, but I don't see well enough to read music while I'm playing. It's easiest for me to hear a song I like, and play it as i hear it.

i've played the bass for about 30 years now, plus a little guitar.
and though i've played in a couple of bands "back in the day" other than jamming with friends, i just play for my own amusement these days.

I do play acoustic guitar but I'm still very amateur. I'll try to practice more so I could play better.

I playt the flute, i have for just over 15 years, i think growing up in a musicl family had alot to do with my intrest in music.
It was hard growing up though & playing the flute & in band, its not the coolest thing to do here in AUS, however i stuck to it thoughout hight school without any of my friends knowing & glad i did i now teach the flute at 3 different primary school & have 8 kids i teach privatly at home it good money & its so rewarding to knwo that you have changed this kids life & given them a skill tey can use for the rest of their lives.
