Can you play a musical instrument?

I played the recorder back in school and loved it. I messed up my left hand, and can't cover some of the holes with my index finger. I still play keyboard, though. I play for the praise team at church. There is an accompanist on the acoustic grand, a drummer, and me. I use a ballad organ sound on a Roland XP-80. All you really hear from it is a solid bass foundation, but the chords add a certain warmth to the accompaniment. I also sing in the choir. I sing first tenor, but I can actually sing any of the four parts. I have about 3-1/2 octaves range, from a low F to a high C or D.

I actually am lucky enough to be musically inclined. I can play clarinet, sax, guitar, bass guitar, violin. Clarinet was my first love as a child and I had to give it up because my parents couldn't afford to buy my clarinet. So I learned the other instruments (except the sax, that came with the clarinet) in order to fill in my loss. Didn't work! LOL I can play them but I'm not thrilled with it.

I used to play guitar back when I was a teenager, but was never really that good at it. I pretty much stopped playing in college and haven't picked it up much since then, though I've thought of playing again if I could find an inexpensive used electric guitar.

when im still in gradeschool im trying to learn to play the guitar and know a bit ..i have also alittle knowledge of playing an organ coz my husband taught me how to play ..

I played the flute all throughout middle and high school. I used to be really good at it but now I suck. I haven't played in over 6 years. I'm wanting to start playing again. I still have my flute so I'm going to take it to the shop and have it repaired so I can start playing again and even teach my daughter how to play if she wants to learn.

I can play the Viola. I gave it up before high school though because I didn't have enough periods and I liked choir more than orchestra. Also, I can play the recorder (^^) and a few tunes on the piano. I would love to learn how to play the guitar, my dad can play guitar and flute.

Sadly, I can't play anything. I've always wanted be able to play the piano, but I've got not one musical gene in me.

No, I can not play a musical instrument. I always wanted to learn how to play the panio.

I love music that's why I learned how to play the guitar. Oh well just the basics but I'm proud of it. At least, I can accompany myself while singing. ;)

When I was young, I learned to play the guitar myself. It is easy to learn the different chords. My fingers always ache but its easily forgotten especially while singing. :o) My brother had a teacher to learn the piano and I learned the piano using his notes and a bit of guidance from him. I don't play the piano now but I still play the guitar every now and then. Playing the guitar can be so relaxing whenever I play my favourite tunes.

thats just beautiful i always want to be able to play clarinet. or any woodwinds. but just cant afford one :D i play guitar anyway

I have never tried playing any musical instrument because i love hearing music not playing them.

i do play guitars, and i love it when im playing, hehe, it relaxes my nerves and body. i play depending on my moods, but almost everyday i play my guitar.

Hey , I play the trumpet. Im in Gr.12 and already on 1st year university standard. I play 1st trumpet in 2 orchestras and a 2nd trumpet in a wind band.... i Love it!!!

I play clarinet and my music teacher had problems with his teeth when he was young so he plays the flute

i dont know to play instrument, but i like to hear the instrument music played by others

i can play guitar, bass, drum, piano..but only a little bit of each..I used to have a studio in my house. It was my birthday present so I can play every time without disturbing anyone else for the loud noise:)

i play the keyboard. its way back when i learned my first instrument and i remember how long and hard i understand the notes.

Sure. I play violin and guitar, though I don't practice regularly. I know, for shame! But it's like riding a bicycle, once you learn, you never forget. Keyboard is good because then you must handle learning a couple of clefs, and that's useful. It's also easier than it seems! I took a few classes and am already able to play "Amazing Grace" - albeit slowly, though. :) Violin is similar to a clarinet in voice, so if you're interested, it may be the instrument for you. I wanted to play the clarinet, but my music teacher said my buck-teeth would get in the way and I'd get more of an overbite. He Lied! I thin he just didn't want another clarinet player - he'd already picked one. So a stupid lie prevented me from playing the instrument that I really wanted - but got me into the violin. Sometimes I don't know whether to be grateful or not. ;) As you can see, I'm still pretty steamed at that music teacher. But I overcame my anger, and learned violin proficiently in about six years. If I had practiced more, and paid attention more, I probably could have learned it in half the time. I was a little kid, though - and you know how kids are! Go for something - don't let anyone you can't play. Music really expands a person's horizons.

I enjoy playing the flute. And I pick around a bit on the piano. Since my son has been born I have started buying him various musical instruments and we have a blast playing them together. We have a clay flute, shaped like an otter that is super cool. We also have a thumb piano, xylophones of metal, wood, and plastic, drums of all sorts. We love music around my house.
