If you could learn to play any instrument, what would it be?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 74/100. HannahhR (125) 2 years ago

I've always wanted to learn to play the piano, but haven't as it's been inconvenient for space etc. I'd also like to learn the saxophone and the cello.
It got me thinking anyway, so what kind of instruments would you all learn to play if you could?

I really would like to learn Sitar, and other asian instruments.
Also saxophone or any other wind instrument , Trumpets.. Anyone, but between all of them i prefer sax.
Take care!


myLot reputation of 74/100. HannahhR (125)  2 years ago

I think playing the Sitar would be amazing, but you'd have to be so good! I haven't even mastered the guitar yet...

myLot reputation of 74/100. HannahhR (125)  2 years ago

Same! I've been playing for a while now, and I write my own songs, but I'm too nervous to sing them to anyone...


myLot reputation of 93/100. primeaque86 (1142)  2 years ago

Great... my friend too knows how to play guitar... and he also composed some songs in our dialect... he is just shy too to sing it with other people...

Keep up the good work... try to sing it with others, who knows you would become known in the near future!!!thumbup

I know how to play bass and guitar but I would really like to be able to get better at programming music. I want to be able to start adding electronic elements to my music. I enjoy playing virtually anything I can get my hands on because there are so many awesome instruments out there.


myLot reputation of 74/100. HannahhR (125)  2 years ago

I've had a go at this, using Sibelius and programs like that, but I am truly awful. I agree, I'd like to get better at that too, and now you mention it, I'd quite like to learn the bass as well.

try some thing slimper. You could need to invest in a teacher for this visit Google.


myLot reputation of 78/100. 3honor (9749)   ranked 28 out of 2,054 in music lover  2 years ago

I promise no teacher would hear anything not heard before but they would always do they're best!


myLot reputation of 87/100. jambi462 (3460)   ranked 145 out of 2,054 in music lover  2 years ago

Check out the music making program Ableton live. It's the best electronic music software that I know of. It's complicated at first but if you really want to be good at it you have to be willing to put in a little work.

Music is so captivating and alluring that once you start getting into it, you just get sucked in. I was a drum fanatic initially and never really bothered about guitars, piano and all the other instruments. But once i started to venture out to guitars, it opened up a whole new level for me. Gradually as i got more and more into music, my wishlist for learning to play different kinds of instruments kept on increasing. So basically to answer your question, i'd like to learn to play all the musical instruments (should be getting a lifetime achievement award or something if i accomplish that). Initially i wanted to play drums, guitars and piano (the usual stuff) and that's off my wishlist.


myLot reputation of 74/100. HannahhR (125)  2 years ago

I second that. The only problem is the time, as learning instruments takes time, and I don't have that much at the moment. I haven't played my guitar in nearly ten weeks :(

I would like to learn to play trumpet. I find that instrument very cool and original. I could some melodies alone using it add the trumpet line into other songs that I play with my band. I already play bass guitar by the way.


myLot reputation of 74/100. HannahhR (125)  2 years ago

I think that would be cool, as not that many people play the trumpet. I found it quite interesting that not so long ago, the trumpet didn't have valves so could only play 4 notes...guess not many people played it then!
Bass guitar is cool though, I always end up playing bass lines on my guitar instead of melodies xD

I just have a simple ambition, or maybe regret, because I think I'm too old to learn it. I wish I knew how to play base guitar.
I work with a guy who plays a little bit. He has a band and they play recreationally. They play the occasional birthdays and weddings. Recently, they've just been signed up to play front act for a local band. It's not big, but it would be nice to have a hobby like that pays.

Hi bounce58 you're never too old. One of Steve's students is over 60 and just passed grade 2 Piano and is carrying on and on ...........


myLot reputation of 74/100. HannahhR (125)  2 years ago

I agree, you can never be to old to learn to play an intrument. Learn how to play!

HI Hannah,

I play a little piano, enough to get by, but I have always wanted to play a stringed instrument--either violin or cello. I also have the desire to play celtic harp.


myLot reputation of 74/100. HannahhR (125)  2 years ago

I absolutely love harps, but they look hard to play - there's so many strings! But, when played properly they sound amazing.

After playing the drums on RockBand, I realized what I would like to do is to bang on the drums more often. It was a lot of fun.

I would love to learn how to play the piano. One of my regrets when I was a child, my mom wanted me to enroll in piano lessons but I'm too stubborn coz I feel it would be boring and I'm not good in reading music. Now I'm older, I realized how important it is to at least know how to play a musical instrument. I know it's not too late for me to learn and I would like to try it again,if given a chance. happy
