Instrument you play... What instrument would you want to learn?

we have plenty of instruments around our house because my brother is a singer and musician. my father knows how to play them as well and my mother knows how to sing. sadly though, i never knew how to play any of these instruments (im not even a singer at all). though i've always dreamed of becoming a musician, i don't really think i have any fiber related to that in my body. i have always wanted to play the drums and tried learning them once but i got so busy with school that i couldn't really concentrate on it. i really prefered drums because it is rare that i see girls playing it. i also would like to know how to play the violin but we don't have one and I have no plans of spending money to learn it somewhere else..too bad but i think i'll remain ignorant of playing such instruments for the rest of my life:( i have friends who learned playing instruments even if they don't personally own that instrument and i envy them so much. i have plenty of instruments around me but i just cant (and maybe wont) want to learn seriously..:(

how i wish i play an instrument. i'd love to play the piano. since i can see the it is very melodious.

Hi Laydee,

I know how to play the guitar. My husband taught me how to play it. I love it when we play the guitar and sing together. Sweet and romantic.

I want to learn how to play the saxophone. Appealing and sexy.

Hi Laydee,

It has been a long time I never play my flute (picollo).
I learnt to play a picollo when I was in my junior high school.I joined the drumband and I am one of the fluter.

I was a fluter for 5 years and I really enjoy playing my flute.

Now, my flute is passed to my cousin and I hope I will have chance to play my flute again one day.

I always like to learn how to play a piano and violin.It is too old for me to learn piano as my fingers are getting hard. But for violin, It is never too late for me to learn.

I love musical instruments. The only problem is I'm not very good at playing thme. In a 3rd grade music class, they tried to make all of us learn to play the violin. I was atrocious at at it! I couldn't wait for that class to be over. Playing the piano would be a beautiful thing to achieve but I don't know one key from another. I would like to learn to play the guitar though. Any advice on self teaching or getting lessons?

I learned to play the piano as a little girl. Then I learned to play the guitar when my husband taught me more than a decade ago.

The instrument I play the most these days though is the tinwhistle (other names: penny whistle or Irish flute) which I started learning by myself a few years ago because I am such a big fan of the Corrs. I have about twenty different whistles in various brands and colors (see photo).

I also bought a violin which I practice on (again, because of the Corrs' influence) but I haven't gotten the hang of it yet. A friend of mine though, learned playing the violin just by watching the Corrs' videos over and over. He plays beautifully now and people are always surprised to learn that he never had any formal lessons. Just shows how dedication and passion can make you really reach for what you want:)

I've played the piano for about 2 years. The trumpet, hm let's see, since 4th grade. I've also taken 6 years of vocal lessons. I've been dying to learn how to play the acoustic guitar but the only guitar I have in the house is my bro's left-handed guitar. (I'm right-handed) I'd also like to take up learning the violin at one point or another. The guitar because it would be great to just play some easy listening-type music after a stressful day of studies. And the violin because although Jazz, Rock, and Instrumental are all some of my favorite genres, Classical composers have written some of the most complex and beautiful music of all time.

I'd also like to learn the violin. I once saw some tutorials on youtube that could be helpful. They looked interesting. They were from Expert Village.

Hi,

I would love to learn how to play the drums! I always have...come to think of it...I don't know why I haven't gone to take lessons...Thanks for the idea!:-)

I have always want to learn how to play the guitar and drums. I have not learn how yet. I did have a kids drum when I was young and use to pound on it but I just never did take lessons.
