What (if any) instrument/s do you play?

[Ray Sison]

Lioness how wonderful! And I'm overjoyed that you (like me) continue to play the piano!

Amanda, I will never stop playing the piano either. I just love it too much...

Phil Owl, and I noticed that your bear plays a mean saxophone!

:uplaugh:

Odd story behind that image, dates back to about 1982 or so, I was camping with some friends near Santa Barbara CA, and during the night, I could swear I heard something like either a bear roaring or somebody playing a baritone sax really badly.

There's also a novel I have in my library called 'The Bear Comes Home" by Rafi Zabor about a jazz alto-sax-playing bear that just wants to be taken seriously by humans, quite a hilarious read.

I never played an instrument, but I used to be very involved in singing in high school. I was pretty good, but I haven't done any serious singing in ages.

 

[fascination]

can't remember if I have ever posted here...a basic working capacity in oboe, cello, and piano...also professional voice lessons for a year

 

[ireniecat]

I've always wanted to learn piano. Tried in middle school. Failed miserably. Perhaps in another life.

 

[yagottabelieve]

Voice and piano as a hobby. (I no longer take lessons for either.) When I was younger, I learned recorder and saxophone.

 

[sambanada]

I play guitar a little

 

[3wishes]

Hmm. Not sure why, but I expected a lot more responses. Maybe tomorrow...

Maybe there are more "I use to play" instruments then currently playing?
I use to play the Clarinet. Previous to that instrument - which turned out to be my favorite, the guitar, some drums, organ.

My family and cousins are top notch musical. When I retire - I plan on playing the Clarinet again. Looking forward to it.

Viola! Until a few years ago, I found an orchestra to play in wherever I went. But during grad school, I decided that my schedule only had room for either dancing or orchestra. And I've never particularly loved playing just for myself, so I've hardly picked it up since. It's letting the whole orchestral sound wash over me, and knowing that I'm part of it, that I love. I'll get back to it someday.

In childhood, I also had many years of piano lessons. That made a good basis for my musical education, but I never managed to reach myself emotionally with my piano playing, so I don't feel any urge to play again.
