Well I used to play the piano, until I just got tired of having to go to the lessons. I did that for about 3 or 4 years. But yeah, about a year ago I started messing around with some old acoustic guitar and playing the occasional song on the piano, and I'll usually sing along with it if I'm in the mood for it.

I think someone should learn to play the spoons...If you can please let me know. I want to know someone who plays the spoons!!!!

Personally I can play the piano, the clarinet and the recorder (I actually did exams...I bet no one knew you can do exams for recorder) I am also currently trying to teach myself the guitar.

I was playing guitar AGES ago.. but I broke my left wrist... so now its kinda monged and I cant play without it killing. bone didnt set back completely so I got a sticky out bit on my wrist. I sing.. but nothing I let any1 hear. a voice is an instrument.. its my alternative. I can play a wee bit of drums, but nothing worth considered 'i play an instrument' for :p

I bought a Violin.. but I can't play it.

It's quite hard, but I really can't be bothered getting a teacher yet.

yep, it's pretty hard. my brother had to get some lessons before he could even play "little froggies sing a song" or something like that.

you've got to get your wrist/bow technique right.

I love Piano!

I've been playing the piano for nearly 14 years and i love it so much...it's a break from studying even though it was stressful in september when i had hsc pracs and stuff...

I have singing lessons for like 8 years but that's so i can get in the conservatorium :p

Finishing all the grades on two instruments is the best feeling in the world!
Not getting ur A MUS sucks though :(

I'm going for my A.Mus.A for piano on Friday. I'm so badly prepared it's not funny... left learning a few pieces to the last few months, blew through prelim exams without studying, and lost my holidays. And I probably won't get it either because the standard is so damn high. Sigh. I love playing the piano and performing for people, but I hate exams. Figures that I've done nine of them, eh?

I finished grade 7 piano before quitting. The pressure, the pressure, the pressure. Who has time to practise an hour these days anyway.


ive completed 8th grade piano
still thinking whether i should go for another year so i can teach it
You CAN teach. I teach younger children but I just don't put them through exams.
