I don't really play the cello. ?but I do play the euphonium and trombone. Also, learning guitar!

So are you musically gifted? Do you sing in a choir, or play a musical instrument (yes the armpit counts), or even have perfect pitch? Share here!

I was in choir in 8th. grade. Even made All State, which was the only fun thing about choir.

I started playing music from about 4/5 years old. Learnt the piano, went to school and learnt violin in first grade till fourth. Then started singing in the choir up until last year. I also picked up the flute in fifth grade. Yeah, I guess I do enjoy music. It's pretty nice to learn and it's never too late to try something new. I'm not terribly good with finding time to practice though. Should do something about it. I also plan to maybe learn/improve more instruments in the future. Such as clarinet or trumpet! Only reason I honestly dont play trumpet yet is because of braces. Makes playing brass insanely hard. XD

Well I played piano for 8 years, and am teaching myself guitar. I've been at it for 2 months, listening to songs and trying to figure out how to play them. My aunt (who plays bass, but also played some acoustic guitar, and was in a band) said that I was ahead of her in terms of playing guitar, so if I can get lessons, I'd love to start a band.
So I s'pose I am musically gifted, though I feel a bit conceited saying it.

Aside from my voice, I have no affinity for playing instruments. I used to play the flute in middle school and then stopped when it wasn't mandatory. Opted to take vocal music for my compulsory music credit and would have had a perfect grade if not for my terrible listening skills...

I am the least musically gifted person alive. I cannot play an instrument or carry a tune to save my life! I'd love to learn how to though but I am just very impatient about it :<
You are not the only one; I'm probably even worse. My singing voice destroys buildings, my dancing is just as bad, and my playing an instrument...we don't want to go there.

Well it's been almost 10 years since I played the flute in a band, can't tell if I'm still musically gifted or I'll probably need to retake that band class. xD

I *can* sing, but only when I'm like...not around people lmao.

I'm far from musically gifted. I used to play a recorder in 4th grade , but everyone in my school was required to play one in 4th grade so I don't count that lol. I also had to play the bells in 5th grade , but again , that was required. I used to do musicals from about 6th grade to about my senior year with my parish church's theater group, but I stopped that once I graduated from high school. I'm not the best singer at all and usually only get the chorus and a few background characters with one or two lines. I was in the choir my freshman year of high school though and that was fun. I wouldn't mind doing an instrument however. Maybe a guitar or piano/synthesizer or keyboard. But it will just be as a hobby and nothing very serious. Not trying to be the next Owl City or Kurt Cobain or anything.

I actually do play the cello. While I don't think I'm a really great cellist (but then again, I'm told that I am extremely critical of myself), I play well enough that I think I can get into a music school.
I also play the guitar, but I can't read tabs or anything. Everything I do on the guitar is by ear.

Once upon a time, I wanted to major in music and become a performer and/or a high school band director. I started on clarinet and I'm a self taught flute and saxophone player. I currently play tenor sax as my main instrument in marching band. Aaaand that's it from me. No longer wanting to major in music, of course. lol

I can play both a bass guitar, and a six-string. I also know how to sing, and can play the harmonica. All of which were self-taught.

Lately I've been getting into rapping as well, so I've started learning how to, if that counts at all.

I can play the piano moderately well, and that's pretty much it LOL. I'm terrible at singing, I fumble with a guitar, drums are just plain weird to me, and etc. So, I'm not exactly musically gifted, but at the very least I can play most songs on the piano by ear and memorization.

Well, I can't sing for my life, buuuuut I do play the flute and the alto saxophone, and really well if I may say so. I haven't been able to play recently do to health issues but I'm in no way quitting playing. I'll probably be able to pick it up in a couple of months :3.

I play the alto saxophone in marching band, and I self-taught myself piano when I was young. I really want to learn how to play more instruments, just so I can have experience with them. Bass guitar and clarinet/flute are at the top of my list of instruments I want to learn, but that's probably never going to happen.

I guess I am - I learnt the piano when I was 6-ish I think (continued through until I was 10), so about 4 years of that, then I picked up clarinet, and I've stuck with it for the past 8 years. I self-taught for 4 years, and I've had a teacher for 4 years (although, I didn't have a teacher for around half a year because mine moved away and then I moved). In the past 2-3 years I've been playing alto saxophone as well, and I've also begun to play piano again. I tried teaching myself violin, but as it's an instrument that kind of needs a teacher, I didn't go far with it.

People say I'm talented, and I guess I am, to an extent, but I've just put in a lot of effort in my playing (especially clarinet), so it's more hard work than talent that has gotten me to where I am today (studying for my grade 8 Clarinet Practical AMEB [Australian Music Examinations Board] exam, I don't know what that is equal to anywhere else, but here it's pretty good).

Been going at the acoustic guitar for like five months now. I think I'm doing alright so far (though barre chords are being a real pain) and I really want to move to electric some time this year. Looking to get a Strat if anyone's interested.

Besides that I can't say I'm that musically talented, my parents tried making me learn the keyboard when I was younger but I was terrible at it ahaha.

Learning guitar (self-taught). Been playing it regularly (kind of) for 2 years. I have both an acoustic and an electric (both of which aren't exactly great, but they'll do for learning), and I'm starting to save some cash to get me a 7-string electric.

Other than that, I'm a zero. Horrible singing voice, and wind instruments are also a no-go for me.

I know how to play a bit of piano. My grandmother used to have one in her house, and before she passed away, she taught me a thing or two about it. It's been ages since I last played a piano, though. Don't know how to play any other instruments aside from that. Been planning to take a few guitar lessons (love guitars), but never had the time. :(

I've played trombone since fourth grade. I'm not terrible but I'm certainly not great thanks to public music education (especially middle school my teacher was horrible). I've also been picking up some alto sax in my free time (I learned a bit of bass clarinet a while ago) and have been trying to learn string bass but it's a hard instrument to teach yourself. :<
