i'd like to know who plays musis here. what instruments, what style(s), are you in a band, any composers......????

i'll start, i play keyboards in 60s and early 70s cover band. we are actually a working band, playing shows every weekend. its the first time in my life i've been able to make good money at music.

i've been playing piano for all of my life (since i was 7), and i've picked up guitar and drums as well. i also write songs.

anyone else?

I play a number of instruments enthusiastically, but not necessarily well. Many of them I haven't played since either high school or college.

Clarinet
Piano
Organ
Guitar (acoustic, classical and folk)
Melodic percussion (xylophone, marimba, vibraphone)
Tenor Sax
Bass Clarinet
Trumpet
Frame Drum
Japanese bamboo meditation flute
Native American Courting Flute

i like them all, but last two seem very cool. world sounds. into world beats?

Not particularly.

There are a number of people that should speak up soon.

Mrs RS is a classical pianist, teacher and accompanist.

I didn't take any lessons as a kid, but some beginner lessons later. It was with a group of Renaissance muscians that were performers, teachers and instrument makers. I took woodwind lessons. I have a tenor Cornamuse, a wind-cap instrument with a double reed inside.

Rock Steady · 04-28-2006, 08:22 PM

I played viola for about eight years, but haven't really touched it since high school.

How's this for weird? When I was six, I asked my mother for piano lessons--and she said no.

twentycentshift · 04-28-2006, 08:41 PM

i love strings. i played violin and cello when i was younger.

i can relate to the weird. i really loved my piano lessons, and practicing, and even doing my scales. what a dweeb i was.

I am extremely proficient with the skin flute.

I played Bb clarinet and bass clarinet for two years. I could probably feel my way through a trumpet and a tenor sax based on my clarinet playing. I can play a little guitar, but I could never form chords well.

Neato, Rock! When I was in college I played krumhorn in the early music group. (Also recorder and viola da gamba.) I also barely played enough keyboard to pass the proficiency requirement in music school, and some handbells.

But my "real" instrument is clarinet. At the moment I play in a local university orchestra that includes folks from the surrounding area as well.

Wow SD, that's some cool stuff.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I sing in the car. Does that count?
