I played violin as a child, and then drums and also piano. I quit all of those by 5th grade, but I wish I wouldn’t have…later on I learned that my violin teacher had told my parents that she had never had another student with such natural ability. Ooops. I’ve always been a singer. And in high school I was the drum major for marching band, and played trumpet for concert band (they needed more trumpets, so that’s where I was assigned). After high school I started playing bass, and played bass/sang in a band. I play a li’l bit o’ acoustic guitar now, but not nearly enough as I’d like to. I’m waiting until we’re out of Diaper Land to pick it back up again.

I’m sure you’re always superpopular at parties.

I wanted to be Watts, too! (even though up until that movie I didn’t like drumming–she just MADE it so cool!)
I love that movie.
(Long time, no see!) Love the new blog look! (ok–it’s prob not new anymore)

We were too poor for piano lessons, but I wanted to play so much that I taught myself. I spent hours and hours at the piano and loved it throughout junior high and high school. I’m NOT gifted and I don’t play well…just enough for my own enjoyment.

All three of my kids got several years of piano lessons. Not one of them enjoyed practicing, and not one of them got very good, but that’s okay. I just wanted them to have a good foundation in music, and that DID happen!

I played the trombone in band. Surprisingly, that didn't make me any more popular with the chicks. I started playing the guitar this year, but I still suck at that. .-= omar´s last blog ..Updates! =-.

Piano and the drums!! Basicly if you can play the piano you can play drums. Guess you shoulda stuck to those lessons!! Kidding. But the piano is a percussion instrument and my mom bribed me that if I took piano I could play the drums. PLUS I have a wicked sense of rythm.
Oh and I dabbeld in Fench horn, when we didn’t have a section in 10th grade band.

Musical instrument are not I’M SURE YOU WOULD BE POPULAR AT PARTIES. In fact, I would think you are the life of the party ; )

I have taken the piano for about five years and still can’t play. One day I’ll be able to play. I definitely don’t have “the gift”, but a couple of my kids do.

I took piano lessons for years, and played the flute in the band (but have no “one time, in band camp” stories).

I’ve always wanted to play the violin. In fourth grade, when our school orchestra played, and I was so envious of them. I played piano accompaniment for them, but I really just wanted to be holding that bow and putting the violin under my chin.

I played the flute. I was first chair in 10-11th grade. I used to sit in my room and play the hymns and other sheet music. I played with the piano music and just played the melody.

I can’t remember how to play a note now. I still know how to hold it though

I did try the snare drums for a bit. It was okay.

Read Hunger Games! It’s amazing.

I’ve played the piano ever since I can remember.

But ever since I was a little kid, I’ve LOVED Elvis and wanted to play the guitar. I even got one for Christmas when I was 12ish and it was awesome and blue, but never pursued it. Sad face.

However, when I see a man playing the guitar/singing, I want to kiss his face off. HOT.
