*~Nymphadora~* - July 15, 2007 06:33 PM (GMT)
I play flute on a 10th grade level.

Does anyone here play an instrument?

A beginner but play Guitar.

I used to play piano until very recently. If that counts. =D

*~Nymphadora~* - July 16, 2007 04:33 AM (GMT)
My brother plays the piano quite well!


Yes, the piano is a percussion instrument.

Cade - July 16, 2007 06:43 AM (GMT)
Ah, same is my brother. Maybe one day your brother and my brother should get together and have this splendid piano concert. x] jk.

Yup, I didn't find that out until fourth grade and I had been playing piano for a year by then. Heh.

*~Nymphadora~* - July 16, 2007 04:37 PM (GMT)
Well, my brother's been playing 2 years probably...He's 15

He plays themes from video games mostly, me and my brother are big video gamers.

Ahaha, my brother and I had to play more classical songs. >.<

I wish I could have played more contemporary songs, though.

Really?

Time for little known facts about Drey:

I can play anything on the electric guitar (self taught)
I played flute for two years when I was younger (classes, hated flute)
I played the Chinese bells for one year (Classes. It's so heavy, take up weight lifting if you want to play. It's so much fun though)
I played the clarinet for three years when I was younger (Classes. I loved it best I believe, although I kept spliting the reeds)
I am average on the paino (self-teaching at present)
and, my proudest accomplishment.....I can play the harmonica!!!!
I always wanted to sing...but that just won't happen lol.

harry-potter - July 18, 2007 11:02 PM (GMT)
I can sing...sort of. But that's awesome how you know lots of stuff...amazing.

Woot. I'm such a band geek. I did symphonic band, pep band, and marching band...and I loved every second of it.

Flute - 5-6 years. Technically on my 6th year, but this year is playing by myself, since I'm not in school anymore.
Mellophone - 1-2 years (self-taught over the span of two months of the summer, and then played for marching band)
French horn - 1-2 years (taught by a friend/self-taught)
Clarinet - 1-2 years, self-taught
Piano - currently taking lessons for it from an ex-music teacher that lives down the road from me.
Guitar - self-taught, still learning

LOL. I used to sing ALL the time when I was younger and I was good at it, but I believe I've forgotten how. I'll probably pick it up one day.

And thanks! I don't really fit the "band type", I actually don't fit any type.

Trash - July 18, 2007 11:39 PM (GMT)
Keyboard - self taught. Still learning.
Guitar - self taught. Still learning.

And I can sing.

I want to learn the violin, my niece used to play but she did a terrible job at it.

harry-potter - July 19, 2007 03:25 AM (GMT)
I heard that violin is hard to play.

Shawn Black - July 19, 2007 03:56 AM (GMT)
guitar- self taught (alright, not amazing)
bass- self taught (same as before)
drums- i just bang on them, but it doesn't sound half bad.

singing is an okay with me, idk depends on how my voice feels that day. :P

harry-potter - July 19, 2007 04:12 AM (GMT)

*laughs* I'll leave the flute to my girlfriend, she's much more attached to it than I am. But it's a pretty cool instrument, just not my instrumental love.

Hey...i use to play the violin only got to grade 1 in 5yrs! I was rubbish at it but helped me in my music lessons with all the notes. I can also play keyboard and can do a g cord on the guitar!

harry-potter - July 20, 2007 02:42 PM (GMT)
Sweet!

zamber - July 24, 2007 02:35 PM (GMT)
Motherdear wont let me.

emmanuelle snape - July 26, 2007 04:14 PM (GMT)
What play an instrument? There really expensive if you pay one and end up to playing it and get your money's worth.

zamber - July 31, 2007 03:04 PM (GMT)
At school we used to have to have three music lessons a week but that was just on the keyboards. Only problem I found with it was that the teacher was rubbish and you could hardly hear what you were doing.

Sirius_Black - July 31, 2007 07:08 PM (GMT)
Hmmm... let's see here.

Electric/Acoustic Guitar- Self taught. Main instrument I'm working at for the moment(electric). Pretty good, but not awesome.

Flute- Was told I was good enough to play for orchestras by professional flutist. haha. But was never into flute playing much. Just did it for the band girls.

Trying to teach myself drums. Not really good, but still fun to beat on things nevertheless.

I can sing and not hurt people's ears. Does that count? :D

LadyStar - July 31, 2007 07:23 PM (GMT)
I always wanted to learn to play the piano, the violin and the 'cuatro puertorriqueno'. The last one is a type of guitar, much smaller tipical from PR.
