Harmonica (it's harder than it looks!)

piano and clarinet at an advanced level.

flute and saxophone at an intermediate level.

And I am considered proficient on guitar, oboe, violin, trumpet and all percussive intstruments.

COLLEEN..that is inspiring! WOW! That is awesome, I wish I was that talented.

Sadly, I only play a little piano. Basic lessons. But I always improve...all the time, just to get my feeling out.

Not that impressive, I majored in music education in college.

Flute and the antara (panpipes). But I just can't forget my first two and only piano lessons...

Do tell, Marlene!

I've played the saxophone since I was 9.

Mandi, what kind of sax? Do you play all of them?

[hypertruffle]

Posted: 6/21/06 at 7:39pm

Violin for 10+ years, viola for nearly two, and piano for roughly three (beginner). I really want to add harp to my list. Someday.

I've played the drumset for 6 years now.

I play alto. It's all I've ever played, and I've had the same one since I started.

I've played alto sax for about four years, and piano for about six months.

I play alto sax too! I still take lessons though, but I basically know how to read music and play notes though. I'm slowly starting to get an ear for my sax to see if I'm too flat or too sharp. I adore the tenor sax and I'm hoping to take that up one day.

I also used to know how to play the piano, but I haven't played for 6 years, so I would have to take lessons over again.

Another instrument I play is the violin which I have been playing for 4 years so far and it is really fun. It's a pain in the butt to tune (one time I tried tuning by myself and one of the strings popped off!), but overall I really like playing it. Music is my passion and I just love it so much!

Drums, bass, guitar, and piano for me, though I haven't played any in a really long time, so I'm probably a bit rusty. Plus I have always wanted to learn how to play the violin or cello.

Same. Except the E-string hit my eye. First time I tried to tune with just the pegs, too.

I have played clarinet since 1965.

I played the piano as a youth...

I've played clarinet for 12 years. I also know bass clarinet, a little organ, and I'm getting pretty proficient on the guitar. I have a harmonica and an accordion but can't play them well yet.

Piano for 9 years and voice, if that counts.

[dancingthrulife04]

Flute, piccolo, alto sax, tenor sax, clarinet, bass clarinet, and piano.

Also learning the trumpet and the guitar.

EDITED for possibly the worst placed (and funniest) typo ever.

Isn't "voice" considered an instrument in some way or another?
