?Do You Play An Instrument?

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

I used to play the piano but I quit because I hated taking lessons! I didn't mind just playing for fun but taking lessons was awful!#-o (sorry for those who just love it) :anxious: Now I just kind of play things for fun like guitar and piano.

Yeppers! I love playing music! \:D/

I have played the violin for 3 years, (2 years of which I took lessons)

And I took piano lessons for 1 year when i was 11. Then I picked it up again last summer and started playing again! I am not taking lessons, but the piano (IMO) is pretty easy to teach yourself.

And, I had to sell my piano to move here to Iowa, and now I don't have one :sniff: i miss it so much. It was my 'escape' if you will, especially when I was going through a tough time.

Oh well, I am blabbering (what's new?) \:D/

I don't really play any very well (I have *ahem* a little bit of trouble practicing on a regular basis... :oops: ), but I used to play the piano (I can still plunk out the notes and would kinda like to pick it up again, but I don't have a piano around to do so) and I'm trying to learn how to play guitar. :D I also played trumpet for awhile in grade school, but it wasn't by choice (our elementry school had band as a part of music class and they assigned you which instrument you would play... I wanted to play flute, but they had me play the trumpet. Needless to say, I wasn't very motivated to practice and remember very little if anything about how to play it now). I do sing though, if my voice counts as an instrument ;) ...

Hey, I didn't know you lived in Iowa... I used to live there for awhile! Awww... I'm sorry about your piano. :( Is there any way you could get a keyboard that would be easier to move if you had to move again? I know they don't play as well as a piano (my roommate from last year plays piano... and violin too! But anyway.... she had a keyboard in our room, but didn't practice on it very often because liked the feel of a real piano better and would walk about a mile to practice several days a week), but it might be better than nothing... maybe you could try getting a weighted keyboard (though I know those are kinda expensive).

Now I'm rambling... ;)

I've been playing piano for approx. 7 years. I used to highly dislike it, even wanted to quit taking lessons, but I enjoy it now, and am very glad I didn't quit.
My Mom may begin teaching me guitar, but we havn't quite got around to it yet.
