Did/do you play instruments?

We moved around so much in our early years, music lessons would have been impossible. I learned the guitar in my teens, did fairly well with it but have not tried to play in years. I would rather just listen to someone who knew how to play better than I did! I have noticed that for several years now, a person can pretty much get a free piano whenever they want one--people can't seem to sell them and they give them away. It's sad...people don't take piano lessons like they used to. My two girls wanted to, so they had several years of lessons but they just aren't inspired by it anymore. You had eight years of lessons, that's a lot!! You could probably sit down and play a tune without thinking about it. Your mother is lovely.

I used to play the organ and play drums when I was a child.

I played the flute but not well. I know two organists in their 90's, and one organist who must be in her 60's who also plays the harp.

I plunk on a guitar. I can scratch out a few melodies on piano. I tooted a French horn in junior high school band. I can play the record player REAL well, though.

I used to play the flute. Haven’t played it for years though . I would like to play the drums …..ever since I saw Karen Carpenter playing the drums, and I thought that was pretty cool for a girl. Wouldn’t mind learning guitar too.

A time was when I was eager to learn how to play flute. One of my friends who lives at a village knows how to play the instrument. He assured me he will teach me the skill, but due to some reasons his family suddenly shifted to another village which is far away from our town.

I have played both guitar and piano never well. I did get an A when I took piano in college though. I think this mostly due to effort on my part, not natural talent.

Tried to learn the drums, bass, and keyboards. Didn't move forward with any of these instruments. Guess i love music but music doesn't love me back.

I took about 8 years of piano lessons also. I could sit down today, and play it still, I'd be a bit rusty and slow, but remember some songs by memory and others I could easily read the sheet music to play. Your mother was a beautiful lady Amber.

I wish I learn one. We grew up without any inclination to sports and music. It is expensive to have those extra activities. My parents did not have any talents as well

Happy Mother's Day! I played the piano the piano stayed in Latvia, Maybe for myself I might one day get a keyboard,

I play guitar for myself. I learned from my classmate when we were in high school.

Yea , I learnt to play the drum set when I was in primary school.

I wish I know how to play a piano

I'ved tried playing with the guitar and flute before, but just the basics i am to slow. I canly play a piano, if a write numbers on the keys. And use the number from a songbook for kids lol

Is that your mom? She's so pretty. My sister studied piano but gave up due to work.

When I was in Elementary School, I took violin lessons.

I think there are still a lot of people who play organs. My SIL plays the organ for her church and is a very piano player. All Vince's family are musical. I forgot to say how pretty your mother was. What a lovely photo to have.

I taught myself how to read music and play basic notes on the piano. When we moved, I had to give it up as we did not have room for it. Your mom was very pretty!

Oh wow, am pretty sure if you come in contact with a piano all you have learnt we come right back. I actually play the drums, have been playing it for years now in church and still playing. Am currently teaching someone else in church as well. I know just the cords in keyboard and that's pretty much it, but my siblings play the piano pretty well. We are 5 siblings and 4 of us can play various instruments, while the one that doesn't play an instrument, mostly sings.
