i always wish i'd stuck with an instrument and had more discipline

ive gone through:
piano (half a years worth of lessons)
drums (learnt after school for about a month)
clarinet (almost a year)
trumpet (2 months, the teacher also had a french horn and trumbone i was taught the basics of)
oboe (abt 3 lessons)

so this has resulted in me being able to play nothing well

now all i have is my guitar (never took lessons, i just fake it) and my harmonica (ditto to guitar... but who takes harmonica lessons?)

after the HSC im going to pick up an intrument and stick with it untill i actually achieve something.
I really love the piano, but we gave ours away ours cuz it was a poor neglected intsrument.

Thing is i dont like starting when people my age are so far ahead, wouldnt it look stupid for an 18 yr old to go to a piano teacher?

i say if you have a passion for an instrument, it's never too late to start.

Thats probably true, but my wardobe is twice the size of theirs and with all my jewellery and such its probably in the other direction.

I tried guitar and piano and flute and sucked at all of them so now i play the drums. Like to release aggression by hitting things so drums seemed the most logical choice.

well i play flute and piano. I can sing a little. And I say that I drum, but i don't really. I can keep a basic rock beat, so some of my musically ignorant friends think that counts. I don't. But I wish I could drum.

I play a bit of guitar, have an acoustic an a cheapo electric. Not fantastic at it, probably due to me immediately learning songs from tabs.

I now play a lot of bass, and am much better due to me getting a good start at it. I've had a go at drum lessons, was OK at it, but they annoyed me.

I play classical guitar and can still play the tenor recorder lol I remember in Yr 6 I played recorder in the Opera House in some big concert. Only problem was, I hadn't memorised all the songs so I had to improvise by moving my fingers lol
