Violin, for nine years.

Viola, for five years.

Banjo, for a month or two.

I play the vocal chords, but not very well.

However I do have an uncanny simucast parrot like ability for songs not in English.

I have wowed people at my ability to sing Japanese songs in Kareoke.

Everyone's played sax's, and string, and... umm... 'Kareoke'.
I just recently (3 or 4 months), started playing drums.
So... hard... to co-ordinate leg/arm-brain-full-ness

n.

1. A music entertainment system providing prerecorded accompaniment to popular songs that a performer sings live, usually by following the words on a video screen.
2. The performance of such music.

My friends and I are the king of tabletop drumming. Glasses, plates, and silverwear make excelent instruments when hitting the table REALLY hard.

Watch out for the half filled 2 liter bottles though.

drumsticks + drumkit = confusion
Seriously, sit down at a drumkit, pickup the drumsticks, and go...
'Alright.... now what?"

hehe, I did that once at non-band camp.
Using sticks is MUCH harder than using your hands. (where you aware that each finger is capable of making a differnt sound?)

Depending on which fingerpad your putting pressure on, on your drumsticks, changes the sound... if that makes sense

*sigh*

I was in band camp

Snider Highschool Marching Band. I played the Mellophone.. aka the marching french horn, Aka the gayest brass instrument in the world. It looks like a trumpet.. its just more curly.

Piano on and off for... umm... less than 10 years but more than 5 (I'm actually not sure how old I was when I first took it up). Currently not getting lessons but still playing every now and then...

Soprano Clarinet for about 2 1/2 years now (although I'd love to play the tiny little Eb one), and I picked up tenor sax last year to join jazz band. So similar to clarinet and yet the registers being the same continues to cause me headaches *grin* I suspect it's worse going from sax to clari though...

Ialie, I feel your pain.
I was in the Choir
Then they found out (1) I couldn't sing, and (2) I was just doing it to get out of schoolwork

Heyyy, the french horn is pretty



How does being in the Choir get you out of schoolwork though? And I sure am glad I didn't pick up any percussion instruments. It was bad enough sitting near them in the orchestra, not to mention having to watch how to hold the drumsticks that carefully in order to control the sound.

My choir (being a private school)
Did functions, and had picnics, and such.
Hence, I got out of stuff

*envy* Choir (or any other extra activity group) in my school was just = a lot of extra work.

For six years of school, I played clarinet in marching band and oboe in concert band.

I've done a lot of work with my PC - a little over 200 meg of midi, mp3 and other oddball formats of stuff I've composed on the PC.

Bass in school choir. Only one and a half semesters, though. I tried out for a musical and the choir instructor took me aside and whined at me until I joined. I'm sorry I hadn't tried choir before, because it was a lot more fun than I'd expected.

Air guitar- entire life.

Bad whistling, humming and singing- eternally

Only music I have been successful at is the loud cracking of skulls in wrestling.

Trumpet for nine years, panpipes and ocarina for five years, piano for two years, and I compose classical scores.

I heart you Rhysus.

You should see my T-shirt. "Trumpet players make the best kissers."

We're the best sort of people.

Indeed. And it doesn't stop at the kissing.

...we've been seperated at birth.

You're right on the mark.

Hmmm...

I was forced to play the keyboard in my early years of high school, and have dabbled in the violin and trumpet for a couple of years each. Never any good, though.

Nowadays, I play guitar (electric and acoustic, 6 and 12 string) and the bass guitar. RAWK! \\m/ \\m/
