(There I go again.)

Do you have any music-related talents, like playing instruments and singing?

I'm horrible at playing instruments (mostly because I'm too lazy to take classes and I'm a quitter) and I'm average at singing. However, my main musical talent is whistling.

EDIT: Are any of you good dancers? I guess that's a musical talent.

I play piano, drums, saxophone, a tiny bit of guitar, and can carry a tune. I used to be in a band. we'd play bars, inexplicably, sometimes, even though we were all 16-17. when I hit college in a couple weeks I'm gonna try to get something going again because playing in a band is so much fun.

I used to be able to play a flute, and I don't think I'm too bad at singing.

But otherwise, I got nothing. :'D

This is a thoroughly underrated talent if you ask me, coming from a very mediocre whistler. Do you actively practice it or does it just come naturally?

As for me, I used to be pretty handy on piano and guitar, but I've lost a lot in both of those instruments over the years. Right now singing is my main musical outlet. I trained classically in college and very much enjoy choral singing, although I'm just as likely to be found blasting out pop songs in my car.

It just came naturally. I just realized I could whistle, and I've been doing it since.

As a child I was a tolerable singer - although not good by any means - but then my voice broke and now I sound like a cat in a blender. As for instruments, despite being able to easily time music and identify time signatures I just have no ability to grasp musical theory nor a talent for instruments at all.

I used to be a flute player in middle school. I really wanted to continue my talent in high school but my counselor thought that taking an extra math class is much more important than music.

I used to be in choir in elementary school for two years, but I remember not liking the girls nor the teacher. Not only that, whenever there was going to be a performance my parents weren't able to drop me to them haha. Otherwise haven't continued with choir nor gotten to try an instrument.

I used to have to pretend to play music in school because I could never get the hand of it and every time we would play a song the teacher would look in my direction and be like "someone here isn't playing it right" x-x

What is your favorite music to sing?
Pop, really. I tend to mimic the voice and way of singing from the artist involuntarily and have to struggle a bit to sing a song in my own way. Which is a fun challenge.

Mimicry is actually pretty common and natural in speech and song, so don't worry, it's genetically hard-wired into our brains! The whole field of Sociolinguistics wouldn't exist if we didn't have this tendency.

I find myself doing this too, especially if I'm singing along with a track. Do you have favorite pop artists?

I was in choir a lot, and I also tried to play the clarinet at one time. :3 I don't think that I'm the best singer though. I just mainly did choir because at the time, I enjoyed being able to sing and such.
