Can You Play Any Musical Instruments?

I played the recorder at infant school, but whether you could call it music I have no idea

. Also learnt the guitar and piano when I was at secondary school but still can't read a stick of music. I use to play by memorising the music.

Keyboards

although I always wanted to be a drummer.

I play the Euphonium! Although I havent blown a note in a very long time. I was in brass bands etc.

I can play the guitar a bit, but I never really got on with it.

My heart is definitely in big shiney things

I'm qualified to teach piano but haven't touched one for years..........

When I was young the bugle and fanfare trumpet (the one without the valves). Then lost my front teeth in an accident so now all I can blow is a rasberry.

I learnt to play the violin as a challenge when I hit 30, not sure why I did this at the time but glad I did

I can play the penny whistle....although I wouldn't go as far as to say very well!

At school I was the one stood at the back with the triangle

We've got a piano, keyboards, some guitars, mouth organs and Mr Pots latest buy a Didgeridoo but I can't play any of them I have tried but they make it look so easy and its not.

Guitar and (badly) piano and organ.

My Ma used to say she played the Linoleum. You have to think about it usually!

I wasn't even allowed percussion instruments!! I was actually excused from music lessons in my first 3 years at high school, they were supposed to be compulsory, but the Head of Music said that it was a waste of my time, as they couldn't make me any better at it!

I'm completely atonal, with no sense of rhythm at all

I love to sing, but I'm rubbish at it, so I just sing in the car now, where no-one else can hear me!

I tried to learn the Recorder at Primary School, but wasn't really interested. I can (could) play Chopsticks on the Piano, but, having small dumpy hands, I'm not built for keyboards.

Apparently, I have that I have quite good rhythm, and I've always wanted to play the Drums, but haven't yet had any lessons. I will, one day!

My Junior School was very musical and I learnt to play the bassoon from age 7. When I started it was taller than I was. Kept that up until I was about 14, played in school & borough orchestras, concerts at the Town Hall and all that. Gave that up and taught myself to play the bass guitar, played in a few school bands but it all pretty much came to an end when I went to University.

I was the one sent to the other side of the room when they were choosing the choir

I have piano fingers (long & strong) but not a jot of musical ability, despite trying the recorder & keyboard at middle school.
