Music has no boundries and this makes us become friend.What musical instruments do you play or how you love music? I think composer is also a great job and the people is such talented.

i love music a lot. i think music is an important part of everyones lives in some form. the diffrent styles of music relates to someone out there :) i played the clarinet and the bass clarinet when i was in school in the marching band. my cousin taught me a few notes on his trumpet. i was given a free flute in school also and i learned a few notes on my own. i have played trombone in the past but only like whole notes so it doesnt really count. i can do a few beats from the cadances from school on the drums. ^^all of those i did in school tho and that has been 6 years now so it has been a long time and i am not sure that i could still remember all i learned or even still play them lol i would love to learn the piano, the guitar, and the drums but i can not afford the instruments right now much less the books to learn or a tutor to help me learn. 1 day i hope to be able to do these things. ive always wanted to know how to play the guitar since i was little and i almost got to but it was to exspensive for them :(

Yeah, what we have to face another thing is that the fee of learning it.As we all know that teaching piano is much expensive and that's one of a reason that i didn't learn it yet.But i will find my spare time and also set aside some money for that.Hope our dreams come true and one day we have our own stage.I can't stop loving it.

yes it is exspensive to learn anything now a days but if you are good at understanding things the internet has a lot of FREE siters that will teach you some of the basics. most people use those to get started and learn the notes then they learn to play the rest on their own :) i also hope that we both get a chance for our dreams to come true. i love to sing and i am told i am really good and when i was a kid i could have done something with it but i never thought it was possible and i stopped. i always saw myself as a singer who could also play the guitar if i wanted to. i am still just as good but i do not always pernunsiate the words enough for someone to understand me but i have been working on that :) (not that ne thing will come out of it but it is a lot of fun)

When I was a student, the music was not an important subject. Actually this situation is still the same now. It can be replaced by any subjects like Chinese, maths and English. So I just learned to play the flute for one song only. And I learned it in my primary school. After that, I had no chanced to touch any kinds of musical instruments in school. I love China

But you still could try to learn another instrument that you really love.It would make your mind ease.Chinese education to child is really like terrible.I should find something i really like and then develop it.

I can play the air piano. Also, actual pianos. At least, I used to be able to. Haven't touched a piano in half of forever. I very much prefer listening to music rather than actually playing it.

I know how to play the piano and the clarinet. I listen to music a lot but I don't practice much anymore to be honest because there never seems to be enough time. I used to practice a lot though. I want to learn how to play either the violin or the flute in the future, maybe both. It's a dream of mine. :) I love knowing how to play musical instruments, sometimes you just get a rush from playing a song you spent time learning how to play.

As for right now, i can't play any musical instrument. But i am searching for time to learn one of it and i am really interested in playing piano or keyboard. I won't say i will make a career in music industry, but being able to play a musical instrument actually attract people to be around us and of course girls. But there's no harm in trying to make it as a career, but it takes time and we would need a real job first and do this as our hobby. If people are interested to see we play, we are good to go.

I play Bass and own 2 fenders also. I prefer the bass though to be honest, hence you'll never hear me listening to music without alot of bass turned up on it. To be honest in the last 10 years even I wouldn't say i 'love' music. It's all becoming about looks and who fits a 'certain image' regardless if they can play / sing / perform or not. But I like most styles from the 60s right through to the early 90s, and when in a good mood especially, jazz

jazz is such great to listen and i think the styles of the 60s can be a classical to us.Anyway,just enjoy yourself and have fun.

I play the saxophone, its great to be creative, and play the music what ever type of mood you are in. I have been playing for 25 years now. I don't play as much as I used to. Pick up the sax just now and then, and when people ask me at parties...lol.

I don't play any musical instruments myself. I DO admire anyone who does, though. Someday I would love to learn how to play the piano. I would say that music provides a path to enjoyment on almost a worldwide level. I don't know too many people who don't like ANY kind of music. I love music. It's right up there with seeing beautiful areas of the world (beaches, mountains), great food, love, etc.

Sounds like you are planing it carefully and make it a beautiful plan.Just learn whatever you want and you would find the beauty in the world.

I know how to play the guitar and a little bit of piano. It's another great way for relaxation. Music can take you anywhere, and just as what you said, has no boundaries.
