What Instruments Do You Play?

I played the trumpet in high school, but nowadays I'm learning the guitar.

I'm currently learning bass at the moment. The second I picked up my friends bass I just fell in love. I study at the Panamanian musical academy, I start next level bass tomorrow!

Been playing drums since I was 3, but didn't stop me from learning some guitar and piano. I also play violin and want to learn how to play bass.

I used to play Violin, but stopped playing right before I got into high school. Also played recorder as a requirement in Elementary school. I sucked at the recorder.

Now I play Electric Bass, and I have been at it for 2 years. I play bass for my high school's jazz band and marching band.

I messed around with the drums and the bass guitar. I stuck with drums for awhile until my teacher baled on me and moved to Texas without telling me.

Atm I play with my keyboard, it's fun to fiddle around with all the sound and make cool little tunes.

I've played guitar for around 3 years and bass around 2 years. I've gotten pretty good at lead guitar, or at least that's what people tell me.

are you telling me that this is gay? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBAeaOu-CDk

I've been playing guitar for awhile now. I'm in a band.

I've been playing piano for eight years now.
I am also on my fourth year for flute.
I am also going to pick up tenor sax.
Of course I played recorder (I was pretty good too!).
That's about it.

Yeah because early Chicago is so "gay".

I can play the guitar. Im a bit out of practice. (lol understatement) Ive been able to do so since i was about 13 years old. You do the math.

I played percussion in our school band, but I had to quit this year to fit more Honors classes into my schedule. I can still play most of those instruments, but my keyboard/piano skills have gone way down compared to everything else. I can still play bells etc. it's just the fingerings of the piano that I have problems with now.

I play ocarina and am at an intermediate stage in piano although I quit. I would really like to get playing again.

I am a guitarist of a wee bit over 2 years. My influences include, but are not limited to, Alice in Chains; Metallica; Megadeth; Emperor; Death; and Iron Maiden.

Oh yeah, and I've been playing trumpet since 2nd Grade (I'm now a Junior), but I have lost interest in it.

I play the piano and have been playing it for 7-8 years.
I really like this thread because now I can talk about my music competitions. So on May 16, I get to go to princeton and play in front of a bunch of people. I'm like ****ting bricks lol

I can only really play Clarinet and that's about it.. but I'm thinking about maybe learning how to play other instruments as well.

I play percussion and flute, and my band director is trying to get me to pick up the bassoon. I haven't really done much with it yet, but I think I'm okay.

I've made all-region twice on percussion in the past two years, and I'm auditioning for flute in the high school division next year.

I'm currently playing the percussion, mostly the drum set. I play in a high school band.
I used to play the clarinet and flute, but those didn't really last.

My dad bought me a bass in 2003, and since then I learned to play, but I don't practice too often lately.

Piano for about...15 years now. Haven't taken lessons in a while, but I'll always play. Classically trained, and I still love playing classical, but I also love jazz/improv, and contemporary pieces.

Played percussion for 8 years, middle school through high school. Bit of drumset but I wouldn't really consider myself well versed on the drumset...lol.

Guitar seems so complex to me. My piano playing befuddles guitarists, but I really think that the guitar is more difficult, and less straightforward than the piano. Sooo yeah. Props to the guitarists.

I also sang for 8 years in my school's choir.

I feel your pain, I haaaaaaated piano recitals. I used to get so nervous, it was unreal. I could barely concentrate on the piece, I would just like...plow right through it lol. And then I used to cry about it like a loser afterward.

You can't possibly be as neurotic as me though, so I'm sure you'll do fine. Just practice enough where you can get it mistake-free multiple times through. You probably don't need the advice, but I feel inclined to give it just in case. I empathize with nervous performers.

Good luck.
