Was piano hard to pick up? I've always wanted to learn it but idk if I have the patience to do so lol
A little bit. Though I never went very far with it. I still can't play all to well with both hands. I took it when I was in elementary school and never wanted to practice...lol.

That is like me with guitar practice lol :( I asked for lessons and then enjoyed it for maybe a month and then just started hating practice and refusing to learn

I took piano lessons for a couple years in elementary school. I also played trumpet, french horn, mellophone, and flugel for band. I continued with the french horn into college for the time that I did go, and my band director was actually really impressed. I would love to pick it up again, but unfortunately I just don't have an area to practice.

took piano lessons for maybe 8 years, stopped about 4 years ago -- can still play it kinda well but have to shake the rust off. have been taking sax lessons for 8 years now as well (Jesus Christ), and am pretty good at it. have been taking drum lessons for about 5 years now, and am also pretty good at that. I can strum a few chords. I can sing poorly. that's about it.

Alright, many don't consider these things instruments... but I do!

I'm an electronic producer, with a rather cumbersome spectrum of genres. I also make Chipmusic using a gameboy... I guess that counts a little more? Idk. :P

As for non electronic instruments, they don't really interest me very much. I'm fascinated with their sounds, and I love hearing people play them, I just don't feel a compulsion to myself.

I started playing piano when I was 5 and quit when I was about 15, after I passed the grade 8 RCM exam. Since I picked it up at a young age I didn't think it was that hard - of the few instruments I've tried playing it's definitely the most straightforward and easy to play, imo.

I played violin for about 3 years in elementary school, and to me, it was definitely a lot harder to play well compared to the piano since it required more precision to make a nice sound and I found it harder to control the dynamics. I did spend a lot more time and effort on the piano and had one-on-one lessons though, so that may be why I found it easier.

What about horse radish?

I, too, played piano for a few years in my teens, but I hated practicing and didn't have the motivation to continue. Otherwise I can sing pretty decently, but that is the extent of my musical talent.

Learned to play the keyboard during 1st grade 'til the 6th grade for music classes, didn't play again 'til the 11th when we finally bought our own keyboard, but even then I rarely touched it lol. At least I can do basic songs if needed haha.

At the very least I am able to read music sheets as well as figuring out the rhythm and the tempo of a music piece. :v

Also apparently during my 11th grade music class when we were asked to sing out the notes on a music sheet, I can notice even the faintest of a false note. It goes to the point that my classmates approached me just to make sure their singing is correct haha.

Recorder for 2 years in elementary school, then flute for 5 years or so after that. Stopped because by that point band classes would have interfered with other classes I wanted to have, and apparently I didn't feel a huge desire to continue on with playing music there. :(

I probably shouldn't even mention the recorder since if given one now, I would not know how to play it at all. If given a refresher course on flute I might be able to sound decent on that. Honestly unsure, though. I basically quit all musical endeavors in high school, and haven't been back to playing an instrument seriously since then.

I played the Piano for a few years as a kid! My parents took me a teacher once a week. I didn't mind it but it wasn't for me.
After that I played Clarinet in the school band, but I soon quit when I got tired of it.

I played violin for about 3 years back in middle school, but I never got to the point where I could play anything terribly complex. I have a violin now that I bought for myself a few years back with the intention of getting back into it, but I've barely touched it. I'd love to take some lessons some time in the near future, but who knows when that will be -_-

i've been playing the drums since i was a kid, but i consider it sort of a side hobby now. i know how to play the piano but honestly i was only interested in learning it to pass mandatory piano classes at uni and i haven't touched one in about a year now.

i used to play the trombone in middle school but i never really got anywhere with it.
