Musical Instruments

[Amber]

Do you play a musical instrument?

I play the flute but I'm giving it up so that I can concentrate more on the drums.

[Tori]

i used to play the cornet but don't anymore. i gave it up to concentrate more on GCSEs. i kinda still wish i played but i'm selling it soon because i haven't played it for ages

[Abi]

I did grade 2 piano a few years ago. I might do grade 3 in the summer, but i'm not sure yet.

[di marco]

i can sort of play the keyboard, id love to play the drums though

[Amber]

I did my grade 6 for flute last year. I just got a bit bored with it and lost interest after a while. Well I have been playing for 7 years now :rolleyes:..

[Tori]

i have my grades 1 and 2 cornet, but i failed the aural bit both times! i played for 3 years, but all the other people i played with ewither left or stopped playing so it wasn't as fun!

It's a fun instrument to play. If you are thinking of starting to play, here's my advice: don't spent a load of money on a practice pad thing, use the yellow pages. Buy some beginner sticks and put the radio on and try to keep time with the songs. Trust me, it helps :)

You play alot. I'm going to get my younger brother to teach me how to play the guitar :p

I forgot about the voice! I remember in my first year at secondary school we were doing blues music and the teacher said, "What is the most important instrument in this piece of music?" and everyone was saying "Drums." and "Guitar." ect and he said, "No. The most important instrument is the voice." and a couple of kids were like "But you can't play your voice!"

Sorry about my little story there. I couldn't help myself :D

[Jessie Wallace]

What can i say, i love my music. At the moment drums and guitar, as my too favourites/passions. I play my guitar everyday, and Drums when ever i can get hold of a set, but just use my sticks on my desk at home otherwise.

Yeah me too and even when I'm at school and I don't have my sticks, I find myself tapping on my book/table/chair ect with my pens :rolleyes:

[Jessie Wallace]

Yep, i get told off for it all the time, as it annoyes, people with my constent tapping, i have to try and remember to paly air drums, but then people see you and think you are mad.
I'm waiting for the day that i get so carried away, and hit my steering wheel so hard, it set's the air bag off!! lol

[Debs]

i can play the recorder!

used to annoy the hell out of my neighbours!

[Jojo]

I used to be able to play the recorder (middle school), guitar (middle school) and during my high school years played and graded playing the oboe - which i loved but in the end just couldn't be bothered (boys, pubs, clubs etc :rotfl: )

[pookie1968uk]

i would have loved to play the piano but never had lessons.
rebecca, my daughter is learning to play the clarinet and is onto grade 3

[Pixie]

I play the flute and piano. I havent had lessons for a while but i till play them alot. I learnt the recorder in junior school and have sefl taught my self the guitar and sax as my brother has them. I now want to buy a piccallo as they are quite similar to the flute but a bit of change.

If you do give up the flute lessons i recommend that you still keep playing it yourself. I personally found both flute and piano more enjoyable since i stopped lessons as now have more freedom on the music i play

[Kim]

I used to play recorder but I got kicked out of the group for forgetting to turn up one day.

[lollymay]

awwwww lol! i tap my fingers on the desk a lot at school, i get told its annoying, but quite a lot of the time other people actually join in lol!

[lollymay]

i remember one time in year 9 after id just started playing the drum i was taping away on the desk with a couple of pens and someone threw them on top of a cupboard to shut me up.
