I am learning how to play the bass guitar and I played the clarinet in high school. I'm also beginning to learn the fine art of electronic music (synths, music creation via Ableton). I have taken quite the interest in electronica lately, and am excited to begin creating music with my boyfriend who is very much into music creation.

When I still was at school, I played fluite and the classical guitar, but I stopped several years ago. At the moment, I don't have time to play any instrument, even if I would like to start again with the guitar, which is one of my favorite instruments. That's also why I love the music 'Spring in Aranjuez' from Rodrigo. Do you know this music?

I don't know it, but I would be willing to check it out for sure. I always love to be exposed to new and interesting music, so thank you for the recommendation!

You are welcome. It's classical music and you may find a part of it in youtube. Once you listened it, you may tell me whether you like it or not.

I only play one musical instrument and that is our electronic organ. My dad bought it when he was working on Saudi. He is the only one who can play it before. When he got home in our country, he seldom touches the organ. My mom thought of selling it because nobody in the house is using it even our dad. During that time, my brother has a girlfriend who knows how to play an electric organ. He told mom that he not want the electric organ to be bought by anyone. Since his gf knows how to play it, my brother got interest in knowing how to play it. After few months, he finally learned how to play the electric organ. Whenever he was playing it, I always come near to watch him. He observed that I love watching him playing the electric organ. I was 9 years old that time when he taught me how to play the electric organ. I felt so happy and I share it to my friends as well. I was even invited to play the electric organ on one of the gatherings here on our place.
As of now, I rarely play the electric organ because of very busy schedule. One of my sister's friend gave my dad a guitar but sad to say, no matter how much I want to study how to play it I cannot find time. My priority as of now is my review for my approaching exam and working online.

Best of luck on your exam! I hope you do well, and hopefully after your studies are done, you will have much time to focus on playing the electric organ again and learning the guitar. I think music is very important in our lives and I try to fit in at least a little bit of time each day for playing. I do listen to music pretty much all day, whenever I can.

Thanks for responding! Best of luck with re-learning the guitar! I'm sure it'll be fun for you. I've enjoyed learning the bass guitar so far. I wish to learn more and make some great music with it, along with the synthesizers and computer music programs.
