    Which ones? :3

    Is there some musical instrument you wish you had learned to play, or want to learn but haven't gotten around to yet?
     
    I play the harmonica, yeh, bet you didn't expect that,

    You have baffled me, sir. Kudos. Isn't that a pretty hard instrument to master?

    I almost play the flute and the piano. But I'm not very good at it, I quit taking lessons before high school even.
     
    I currently don't play any instruments and I doubt I will, but for school I did play the recorder and trumpet. I was actually pretty good at the trumpet. I got in first chair which was pretty surprising for me lol. My favorite song was Hot Cross Buns which was the easiest hardest song you could ever play. Sadly the knowledge of how to play those have long since disappeared.
     
    Wow, I must be really lucky. This genuinely is no lie, I have proof, I'll even film myself one day.
    I passed Grade 5 Piano when I was 10.
    I am currently playing Grade 8/Diploma Standard and recently learned this piece:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahou_LRXFF0 in 3 days, and I have played Fantasia Impromptu and currently working on Rage over the Lost Penny.
     
    i used to play the clarinet in high school band. haven't played anything since.

    i've tried learning piano in elementary school but i was really bad at it. i wonder how i'd do today...i might retake piano lessons in the near future.
     
    I began with the flute and then the clarinet later on in high school.
    I'm taking lessons and performing with my college :3
     
    My favorite song was Hot Cross Buns which was the easiest hardest song you could ever play.

    I remember playing that song until it was dead, on the recorder in elementary school. I was probably the only one who actually enjoyed playing that instrument.

    When music was compulsory, I played flute during class, band practices and at times outside of school on my own time. Though I wish I could have tried others. The only other instrument, if you can classify it as such, would be my vocals. So that's the class I chose instead of anything that meant playing instruments during high school as my arts credit.

    Have been thinking about learning violin and piano, but I find that that would have been better started in childhood than my adult life.
     
    I Remember That I had played Guitar in My High School.I was Not good in playing guitar at first but at later I get used to it.:happy:
     
    I had piano lessons in primary school, but I eventually dropped out, because I hated practicing. Now, I only play when I feel like it, which is like once a year. I have a couple songs I can play, so every once in a while I figure out how to play them once again and when inspiration strikes and there is a new song I feel like I absolutely have to learn, I'll park myself in front of the piano and try it. It's usually soundtracks and stuff like that, as playing classical songs doesn't interest me at all.
    Also, I've always sucked at reading notes, so I usually just do it once immediately learning the song by heart. Once I've played it a couple of times, I don't really know what on earth I'm even playing, aside from the first few notes. My hands seem to know what they're doing, though, so I just leave it to them.
     
    I took piano lessons for maybe 8 years and can now play proficiently but it's been awhile since I did anything serious with it so I'd have to brush the rust off. I've been playing drums for, like, 6 years now, and I'm pretty good at it if I do say so myself. it's a lot of fun. I play saxophone for school, too, and I'm similarly pretty good at that (got recommended for all-states this year!). I can play three chords on guitar. I can do the harmonica too. I can play a ukulele to some extent. I have an accordion and plan on learning that soon. yeah
     
    Been playing guitar for nearly two years now. Never took any lessons but I'm planning to during the summer.

    I really want to learn piano some day however!
     
    I played Violin for 5 years before giving up because school work.

    Now I'm out of that horrible phase with all my own time, and I'm going to get back into playing it :3
     
    I played a couple instruments in private school for a little while, like the acoustic guitar, a recorder, and percussion singular drums. But they weren't anything I became too invested in after a while. It didn't help that we would tend to forget things after a while not playing them.
     
    I played the flute back in high school! Although I ended up stopping because there were other interests I wished to pursue other than band classes, and definitely don't ask me how to play it by now because I don't remember it one bit.

    If I were to pick up an instrument now, I think I'd like to learn the violin. Just something about it interests me. Or maybe some kind of brass instrument. I remember french horn seeming like something I would have rather played instead of flute back then!
     
    I been playing the piano for a few years now and have been doing exams ever since. Recently just passed my grade 6 exam though I won't be doing those anymore. I remember taking up recorder and trombone for a short while but then piano became my main instrument,

    I want to try out drums someday.
     
    Ya I play guitar banjo and uke. I'd love to learn how to play steel drums/pipa tho
     
    I would like to learn drums too but somehow I fear I have a bad sense of rhythm :B Maybe that's something you learn as you go though.
     
    I started playing piano when I was 5, quit lessons at 15 after passing my level 8 exam. I still play casually now (mostly just showtunes and songs from video games), but I'm nowhere near as good as I used to be. Dug up some of my old classical music books and couldn't play most of them, kinda bummed me out. :P
