Did you learn to play a musical instrument at school?

I learned to play the classical guitar in college. I've learned the piano when I was young but this was not from school but after school private lessons. I still play the piano... have picked it up again, and occasionally pick up the guitar.

We started out with the recorder in like 4th grade. Nothing major but it was fun, then as we progressed into 5th and 6th grade we got to pick other instruments like the cow bell, xylophone, triangle, and so on. During the last semester of my 6th grade year, the jr and highschool band director would come to our school and we got to join band if we wanted to, and be ready for our Jr high days. I learned Clarinet and played it until I was in the 9th grade. I then didn't want to do it anymore. My family was always musically inclinded so I was taught the piano, early in age, and as my sister started playing saxophone. She taught me all three of those. Alto, Tenor and Soprano. I don't think I could carry much of a tune now days though, it's been years since I've attempted those. I can still wing things on the piano though, lol.

I was in the school band and we actually marched in the inaugural parade for President Clinton back in 1997. I played Clarinet and my band director made playing so not fun that I sold the clarinet as soon as I graduated high school and I haven't played since and that has been over 10 years ago.

I did not and I wish my school had some kind of musical training. I did learn to play the guitar on my own. Cheers!!

First I took piano lessons in school but I couldn't get one hand to go fast while hte other one was going slow so I switched to the guitar. Plus my best friend was taking guitar. But then my fingers got sore so I quit altogether. My youngest daughter, however, took guitar in high school and really loved it. She and my husand are both guitar players so that's something they have in common and they still play together from time to time.

I was learning to play the recorder but I didnt get a chance to master it .Never quite got a hang of how to move my fingers for the different notes .I think it was because the recorder is so boring ,could they have chosen something as funa sthe guitar or drums .That would have been more exciting but the recorder aaah that instrument doesnt seem to have any commercial appeal ,you dont see it in any music bands ..its just not cool...guitar forever !!!
