No matter what stress is in my life, I sit down at the piano and it's gone
I feel the same way when I pick up my guitar and play some Pink Floyd...it just takes me to a world in itself.
I have been playing for 33 years but still find myself learning something new everytime I pick it up. | |

Posted: 2/1/2009 11:16:59 PM | | I tried playing guitar but discovered I wasn't really that great so I picked up a synth and just been playing that non stop. I'm a pretty decent "screamer" too but that's not an instrument... | |

Seriously, though, I had horrible music teachers at school and that kind of put me off. | |

Posted: 2/4/2009 8:25:22 AM | | I have and play the Mandolin, a 6 string Acoustic, a 12 string acoustic electric, and a 6 string electric. Music is such a passion for me. I was not graced with any talent. I didn't start playing until 2001 (age 25). It is such a part of me now, that I can't imagine what my life would be like if I had not started. It is my Mental Health, it is was gets me through certain days. | |

Posted: 3/4/2009 10:25:25 PM | | I've played drums for over 30 years (and boy are my arms tired.......budda boom). And electric bass for over 10. Studied piano for 5 years, a little guitar, and 4 years of music theory. It's my passion - I can't not do it. I'm usually with 4 or 5 bands each year. I love it. I hope to keep playing as long as possible. | |

Posted: 3/5/2009 3:55:12 PM | I played percussion in junior high. It was a prerequisite for marching band in high school. I had absolutely no desire to play an instrument...it is not my thing...but i had to because i wanted to be a majorette. So I chose drums...at the time girls were not allowed to play percussion at the school I attended. My mom actually had to go to school board to have them allow me to play. This was 1978. Now girls playing percussion is pretty common.
As soon as I got to high school, I ditched the drums altogether and twirled away. | |

Posted: 3/9/2009 4:26:38 PM | | I do play an instrument- classical piano-but I guess I understand why a lot of people don't. It's the same reason I don't participate in team sports or the visual arts. Just nothing going on there. I've run into so many people who were forced to practice an instrument when they had no aptitude or desire, and it bothers me that they felt they were forced to. I'm not sure what that accomplishes. I still feel I enjoyed playing the piano more because I had to beg to get lessons, not because my parents felt I needed them (although they did, they were just good at hiding it, lol) | |

Posted: 3/12/2009 7:54:42 AM | | I play guitar, banjo, and mandolin.......and teach for a living. I think a lot of people just want instant gratification out of an instrument and don't realize how much hard work it is to learn. | |

Posted: 3/13/2009 7:17:40 AM | | I play bass in an original band and tenor saxophone in a covers band. Music is definatley a huge part of my life. I'm a terribly slow learner but one thing I did learn is that if you sit there playing the instrument for long enough it all eventually sinks in. You've just got to be stubborn. lol. | |
