Musical instruments

[jayjay]

I made this poll because I am personally a very musically minded person. I play the cornet where I'm grade 4 and I play the piano at grade 3. I wanted to find out how musical the rest of the forum is.

Well, I've been playing piano for 7 years now, and also play the trumpet in our high marching band/concert band. Fun stuff.

 

[Aaron]

I play the piano and I love it.

I'm not fantastic at it and never took any grades, but I can play a select few songs...

Beethoven's Sonatina in G
Grieg - Piano Concerto
Grieg - In the hall of the mountain king
Mozart - Rondo Alla Turka
Queen - Don't stop me now

And many many more!

(God I sound like one of those cheesy compilation CD adverts :O )

i play the guitar and drums, used to play the piano, but it got boring, i did go through a phase playing the bass aswell!!

 

[Ben]

I've played almost everything known to man but the only thing I still play is piano as it's easiest to find music for. I'm crap at it though.

 

[Mat]

I used to play the piano and I couldn't find the time to pratice it aswell as fit in school work and the rest of my life.

I play grade 3 piano, but I gave up lessons.. so I won't get any further...

 

[c&r]

I played drums for three years or so and got to grade four, but then just got bored of it and sold my kit. I kind of wish I hadn't to be honest, but life goes on.

I've played piano for around 5-6 years now, but like Az, haven't taken any grades.

It's a great thing to do that relaxes me and I didn't want to start bringing the pressure of exams and stuff into it. I guess I'm around grade 5 though, pianos are bloody brilliant

Other than that I did the drums for about a year, it was interesting to say the least; but I don't think they're really for me.

And then in primary school the crappy recorder, hahaha, they were so lame :lol:

I play the guitar, Bass guitar, trumpet and have a rudementry ability to play the piano, as most people do.

Been playing trumpet for about 7 years, Bass for 4, guitar for 2 and piano 'meh'ing-ly throughout.

Great hobby to have.

 

[Harvey]

I play the guitar, I'm no pro, but Im bearable to listen to, and I find it enjoyable, so its all good!

 

[Mat]

We should have a concert with the ammount of people that play musical instruments!

As I dont play, I will organise all the techincal side of it (sound, lighting etc.) :lol:

 

[Peter]

I used to play the Saxaphone, and did so for about 3 years. I got to grade 5, then gave up because I was getting bored with it, lol.
Haven't played anything else since.

I currently play the guitar, 2 years in may. Im not really good, id say average, but good enough to be able to play Master of Puppets by Metallica decently downpicked, minus the amazingly fast solo.

I really want to play drums, as I have always been very good with beats ever since I was like 3 and I pulled out the pots and pans to hit. I played for the first time about a week ago, and I can keep up a relatively fast beat with constant double bass. Not too bad for my first time. I hope to get a drumset by the end of this summer if I can get the money.

 

[Sax Man]

I'm a woodwind ofcourse.

I've been playing for a while now, and it's my primary instrument. I used to be able to play piano, but I can't play it as well now.

I would like to learn another instrument, but I don't know if I will.

 

[kir]

Pia-pia-pian-o!

I can't read music as I gave up lessons years ago, but I'm great by ear and I love composing my own stuff.

 

[Anonymous]

I play the bass guitar, Violin, Acoustic guitar, keyboard. I wan't to learn tenor sax.

 

[The Claw]

^ Wow go you lol!

I play piano and keyboard. I've played it for ages but I'm not very responsible with my practicing though (and I'm not proud of it believe me).

 

[Lain]

I've played guitar for almost 4 years.. not that good though considering.
I've played bass for about a year and I've dabbled in drums a little bit.

I tried to learn piano last year, but gave up. :lol:

 

[joe]

As I dont play, I will organise all the techincal side of it (sound, lighting etc.) :lol:

We dont want it to end up in a disaster :lol:!

I play the Keybourd sometimes, I am learing Super Mario Bro's theme tune, its tricky but good!
