Have you ever played any instruments?

I learned to play the cello when I was in middle school. I quit about halfway through high school, though, largely because of scheduling conflicts.

People tell me I've got a good sense of rhythm and a good musical ear; too bad I never put any of this to good use, though. Well, outside of messing around in FruityLoops, I guess.

Guys I have full faith in our abilities to quote this entire song in thread topics

I don't play instruments, I mess around with the odd guitar but I've never taken formal lessons or bothered trying to self teach to learn to play properly. The girl I'm dating at the moment, Caity she plays around 30 instruments, chief among them is the French Horn.

I played the tenor sax for a couple years. Then I was too cool for band so I quit. o_O

Guitar... for years.. internet-taught - The idea was to learn songs I could play at bonfires and it worked out splendiforously.

Learning piano now.

Violin, which I randomly took up at 16! Tuition then self-taught (my teacher moved away... probably due to her ears being subjected to agonising torture) :(

My granny Sadie tells me that when I was very little, she and Granda Jack and I were at some pub having lunch, and I started drumming on the tables using the forks or something. And people gave me money because I was so good :jess:

Also I had to play the Recorder in primary school because, you know, I went to school. In England. That's what you do. I've derped around with FruityLoops some (and before that Music on the PS1) and I've been told I have a vague talent, I could probably develop that into something but,

eeeehhhh, effort.

She's Australian so no she's not Asian. Though she did play for one of the top orchestra's in Australia so I guess that might have something to do with the decision to learn so many instruments.

There has never been an instance in the history of the world of a woman playing cello and not being extremely hot. I don't know what it is about a woman with a cello, but every guy I know is into it, and every woman I know envies it.

My husband is a drummer and was in the marching band in high school. The only instrument I ever learned was recorder in college.

Amen. But any girl playing any instrument (except piano and maybe like a tuba or something) becomes instantly hotter in my eyes.

Makes a bit more sense. What did she play in the orchestra?

I think it's because she knows how to handle a big piece of wood in between her legs.

Cello players for great justice (although Octavia's looks more like a bass to me)

If that weren't a musical instrument and instead were a wealthy businessman, this picture would belong on a different website... :kakapo:

This. Not that the former should be surprising for anyone with taste. :D

I've played cello for almost seven years now, and yeah, it's pretty much the coolest thing ever, but I don't see why it's seen as so sexy, especially if you look at several cellists' facial expressions while they're playing. I swear my teacher makes the me gusta face sometimes.

If I get into music school next year, I get to learn piano, which I'm so looking forward to. I love the piano.

AFAIK she was a french horn player in the orchestra so brass section.

I play guitar, mainly classical but I still play fair amount of lengthy solos on the ol' Strat. I did have four guitars but now I have 3 because I gave it away to one less fortunate in a selfless act of unwarranted philanthropy (yeah only joking, it was a piece of shit hunk of timber full of christmas tree needles fit only to burn for fuel). I also bought a pretty expensive ukulele just so I could play Ukulele De Chocobo and look whacky. Yeah, you read that right.

I am probably musically retarded now. Used to play piano, guitar, drums and euphonium (all but the latter at a beginner level). And the recorder, because we're still a British colony apparently. Now I play nothing except tables. Not getting any money out of it though MILF. How'd you do it?

In the 4th grade, or was it 5th grade? I don't remember exactly, but it was before High School, I had music class and I was taught how to play the cello. I didn't continue because carrying the instrument in the case was a hassle for me. During High School, I took Music during my Freshmen, Sophomore, and Junior years. At first I dabbled with trumpet, then I played the trombone for a couple months. The fact that it was a big instrument, I was able to switch instruments during one of the semesters. I switched to the clarinet, and stuck with it for the rest of my music playing days, which ended after my Junior year of High School.

Though everyone knows my real passion is my excellent singing capabilities. Watch me belt it!

I've taken the basic classical courses on playing the piano, but since high school I've been concentrating more on singing (both solo and choir). :)
