What instruments do you/did you play?

Jessicar · August 29th '05

Just wondering who plays an instrument, or used to play one.

I play electric/acoustic guitar atm. and i play the keyboard.

I used to play Cornet (a trumpet type of thing) And baratone. Oh and I played violin from i think it was....year 5 in primary school...and til about half way through year 8 in high school.

In primary school i played the recorder...and even the african drums at one point!

I play flute and violin ( I'm playing the first violin at the school's orchestra

)

Jessicar · August 29th '05

OOooh i got up to first violin. then i quit coz i was in too many bands and my teacher was a bad teacher

Mickey · August 29th '05

What for pieces did you play in your school orchestra ????

Oxide · August 29th '05

I can play drums, guitar, saxophone and piano. I don't get a lot of time to practice anymore, but I used to be really into music a few months back.

What's a baratone? -dumbass-

Umm, I played recorder until I was like, 10.
I did flute for a couple of years starting in year 4, but was so shite my teacher suggested I gave up.
I've done a lot of singing, musicals &all that schizz.

I played the cornet when I was about 7, but not for long, because I wanted to play the clarinet in the first place! I also used to play alto. recorder, and the little group of us got really good, so in year 6 we got treble recorders *puts on sunglasses..* rofl. I started to learn piano a few years ago, but I really didn't learn well with that teacher, so it ended up putting me off =(

Now I play clarinet (nearly 8 years), acoustic and electric guitar (nearly a year) and sometimes a tiny bit of keyboard/piano (God knows lol). I own a Yamaha 250 clarinet and a Squire Strat electric. The acoustic's my sister's but she doesn't really play; I play it more

I also own a Yamaha keyboard, but mum put it away under the stairs to make room for my guitars =|

I really do love music, even if i'm not.. the greatest player, lmao. But i don't care, it's the enjoyment factor which is worth more =)

I play in the clarinet group, the woodwind band and the big/swing band. And the head of music/swing band conductor has warned me he might be putting me on tenor sax. because the band 'needs' it. Rofl. So watch this space

Lol.

A baratones like...a massive brass instrument. Do you know what a euphonium is? its a bit like that but smaller and with a slightly higher sound.

Mickey · August 30th '05

I really appreciate Euphonium although it's rarely played here...

Mamfy · August 30th '05

I used to play the Bell-Liar or how ever you call the bloody thing! Like a xylophone( metal thing) But instead of playing it on a table, it is played by holding it in the air coz I was in a marching band:|

I also usd to play the recorder a LOT!! (when I was in primary school though lol)

Now, I can play the drums and the guitar quite well, and the piano/keyboard well

But I don't have enough time to practise for all of them right now, so I just play when I want

zena · August 31st '05

wish i knew how to play the piano..sigh..i'm talentless!!

Mamfy · August 31st '05

I'm sure you're great at many other things Zena!

I played the flute for like...a year...then decided it sucked.

I can play the drums/pretty much any percussion instrument, a VERY small ammount of guitar...I have to use a little kid guitar when I play because my hands are too small to fit around the neck of a regular one...heh...., and I'm teaching myself piano.

Damn I cant play shit...

At my school I have to either take Band,some Art History course, or Typing. Since I already know how to type and Art History sounds boring,I currently play Alto Saxophone.

Jessicar · September 15th '05

Iv heard of art history before.
It sounds like anasthetic, itd send me to sleep.

Patriot1776 · September 15th '05

I know kids who take it, they say it is the worse course that they have ever taken.

Jessicar · September 15th '05

Im not surprised to be honest.

**DraaK** · November 27th '05

I tried to play piano years, and years ago, but I didn't have a keyboard or piano to practise, so that was a dud.
I just bought my own acoustic guitar about two months ago, and I'm a self learner. And, I'm really good for a beginner. I already know about... *counts on fingers* 13 songs.
But I really want to get into some kind of musical program at school to help boost my learning.
