Thread: Musically talented anyone?

Well I play the bagpipes and drum kit.

Both of which are in bands.

Being in a pipe band is great. Basically travel over the country, play then get hammered on the bus on the way home - well we are Scottish afterall

Playing drum kit in a rock band is also a lot of fun. Writing, recording and playing gigs. I must add we are nothing massive and basically play in the local town now and then, just for the fun of it really.

I put these two factors down as the main reasons why I apparently have insanely good hand-eye coordination.

So anyone else play a musical instrument?

Hi puggso

I play the piano although I am a bit rusty!!

Lacey..x

I'm a music teacher. Play piano, cello, violin, recorder, flute, clarinet, guitar, boomwhackers

Have never played the bagpipes. I'd love to try though

I play piano, trumpet, violin (rusty) and guitar (very rusty).

I used to play jazz and swing in bands when I was at Uni, but I haven't done for a while. Funnily enough, since I've recently moved house to somewhere fairly rural, I was thinking of trying to track down local bands and see if they needed a horn!

These days, when I get on a stage I wear lycra and shout a lot. You guessed it, I'm a rock singer fitness instructor.

Piano, clarinet, oboe and (of course) the trusty recorder!

I play piano, flute, guitar, sax, and kind of a little bit of violin. Music has always been such a big part of my life.. esp as a kid.. always had lessons and stuff.. but since moving away from my mams, i never got a change to take my instruments. Now im settled i brought down my digital piano, and i have my flute here.. im so excited to start playing again.. I did music for gcse and AS too..
we should form a little group.. hehe..

Play guitar, clarinet, viola, tenor recorder............i think thats it.

guitar (a few types), harp, piano, violin, cello

I will buy a harp one day so i can teach my babies in true welsh fashion!

I wish I was, but I got no musical talent..

In primary school music lessons were free until year 6.
Then i think it wa £90 a term for 1-2-1 lessons. So basically I learnt for free

Lucky you All our primary kids have to pay for lessons. At senior school they pay over £100 per term per instrument.

Not much money down here for education. Wrong postcode. Poor on education and NHS. Wish the tax system worked the same and we only had to pay a percentage of tax too

Oh...and I give recorder lessons 15-30 in a group, and they pay. Keyboard/piano 4 in a group. No 1-2-1

It was a while ago mind, lemme think - 14 years ago!

OH MY GOD, 14 YEARS AGO!!! How old do i feel!! It was £90 per instument about 7-9 years ago too.

Now i feel ancient
