I play a few different instruments~

Piano - 18 years. played competitively through my school years, put less time into it when I went to college. I now play mostly for fun, and sometimes for various events for a bit of money.

Bass guitar - 10 years. Started in junior high for fun, played a bit more seriously in high school. Did mostly jazz stuff and also played in a few ska bands.

Cello - 7 years. Started playing around 4th grade I think, I stopped when I was a junior in high school to do other things. I played in school orchestra, and also played in some chamber music groups and quartets outside of school.

Ukulele - 4 years. Kind of what I've been playing lately as I haven't had access to other things. Started this in my first year of college and I play for fun.

I also play drums, upright bass, and guitar at semi-competent levels.

I'm a drummer at heart, but I also play guitar,bass, and the flute

Currently I'm studying how to play the piano. Though Trying to learn to play a new instrument without actualy owning the instrument is hard

Instruments in order of skill:

Violin (9 years, forced by parents at first, though I'm currently studying music to became some sort of musician)
Electric Bass (1 year, began in "high school")*
Piano (roughly 4 years, though only learning on my own, though I can play easy songs and/or accompany someone with chords).
Guitar (basic chords...)

Instruments I can play even though I haven't really learned them:

Harmonica
Percussion (Just about any basic rhythm instrument that doesn't require coordination skills)
alto-violin

I'm currently studying in the musics department at my local highschool too. I'm planning of becoming some sort of part-time musician, since I'm way too lazy to put much effort to it in order to become successeful.

Play the guitar (2 years....on and off occasionally). That is by far my favorite instrument

I play the viola as a school instrument, it's fun and all but I might quit because class isn't as cool as it was before *sigh*

I play the drums....not much like I don't have my own drumset but my friend does and I play it at his house

Tiny bit of electric bass

I love the keyboard, but I can't read the sheet music.

So I play a fair amount of instruments

I would very much so like to know what that is. Sounds more like food than an instrument to me.

idk, you can't exactly play really melodic solo pieces on anything but the marimba unless you want to play ragtime 24/7 on the xylo.

Example of one of the great repetoire pieces for solo marimba, Variations on Japanese Children's Songs by Abe Keiko

Another example of a great standard in solo marimba rep, Merlin by Dr. Andrew Thomas

Fun fact, I've studied with both those composers. Extensively with Dr. Thomas.

There ARE pieces written for xylo, but it's kind of like if you're a sax player, you'd usually play rep written for Alto since the Soprano/Tenor/Bari/etc rep isn't really that huge

(Can't listen to it since I'm at a school computer, so I don't know if it's actually good, lol)

Also, to add onto my previous post, I am officially starting level 3 of my school's Piano Proficiency requirements. Am i cool now

I've been playing guitar for 5 years, I can do some standard stuff on drums (I didn't have lessons or anything, I just play for fun once in a while when visiting my friend) and I just recently started learning piano. It's hard doing it on my own so I might take some lessons as well soon :<

Ones that go, bum boom crash. For a year now.
I also play bass drum in marching band, thinking of moving up to snare.
Lastly, I play the epiphany of manliness, the flute.

Take the lessons. They make a tremendous amount of difference, as long as the teacher doesn't suck completely.

I learned how to play the piano a few years back, but its been long since I've practiced. I'm pretty sure I've already forgotten how to play the piano.

If things don't go right, go left.

If you're gonna take lessons, there's two kinds of teachers

1. The ones that teach you the instrument
2. The ones that teach you songs.

My brother learned songs when he played piano. So he couldn't really play scales at all and he actually couldn't read sheet music. He just knew how to play songs and stuff.

Make sure you get a teacher that emphasizes learning the instrument equally to learning songs.

I mainly play Drum. (mostly playing Dream Theater... by mostly I mean I'm playing all their repertory)

Then I play piano and compose on it with a program called Reason (using my keyboard as a control station).

I'm casually playing guitar, not good at it though.

I play piano.

It's like... 5 or 6 years already, but in the late year my skill is probably un-improved. ;_;
