OMG!!! i forced my parents into buying me a ukelele... the one and only time i used the "imma tell grandpa on you" it worked! (grandpa was a music teacher, so he would have been very upset thay my parents were denying 'that baby' the chance to explore new musical abilities). i never bothered to learn to play it correctly, though... :(

violin and piano when i was a kid, the only one i play now is the CD player.

weren't those the ones they found in the cereal boxes when we were kids?

SAXOPHONE! Alto and Baritone to be exact.

Played the recorder in elementary schl :p

Played piano 6-7th grade, I still read notes and can still play ok, I want to go back and brush up
Played bass guitar in 6-7th grade, loved it, made me feel cool
Also wanted to take drum and trumpet lessons, but my music teacher told me to chill, too many instruments :rolleyes:

yea yea!!! alto here!!


Also used to play violin, a little guitar, and a bit of piano.

I was a dork! I played the Booza and Triangle.

I played the cymbols in Howard's Marching Band. 10 lbs each and I'm petite. Tenor drum and xylophone where cool but I was such a brickhouse on the cymbols. Not like I can use this talent in a beauty pagent or anything. I've been able to share this talent with a few highschoolers in my day though.

I played the clarinet (bass and alto). For those who don't know, the bass and alto clarinets are kind of shaped like a saxophone.

I also played the recorder.

Ok, pardon my ignorance, but WHAT IS A BOOZA?? :)

I played the piano for 3 weeks one summer--or I should say I took piano lessons for about 3 weeks. I had to let Mrs. King go. Lessons were on Saturday morning and she was cutting into my cartoons/Frosted Flakes time.

I played flute in Junior High. I can honestly admit now that I was not good. I knew all of the figure positions, could read music but the sounds coming out :eek: :eek: :eek: My 9th grade year my band director (bless Mr. Oliver's heart) "promoted" me to Drum Majorette for the marching band. Pays to be tall! :D My parents made me play flute because my older sister played flute. After the piano fiasco they were not shelling out cash for an instrument that would only last 3 weeks!

I can now proudly admit that I am musically challenged! LOL I also could not carry a tune if you put it in a bucket with a handle!!

I started my music career in 3rd grade playing - the clarinet... I continue playing that instrument throughout HS in both the Marching Band and Orchestra because my mother bought that instrument instead of renting, like all my friends who quitted parents did... I was forced to play because my mother threatened to kill me if I stopped, after all, I was not going to waste her good money...:rolleyes:

I started playing the violin and viola in 9th grade, because the HS Band Director needed warm bodies to play in his new String Orchestra... So again, I was forced to play those instruments!

Then in college, I was recruited to play in the Jazz Workshop and started playing the flute, but I still played the clarinet, but I also started playing the piano, which is now the only instrument I play and planning to teach my children how to play:cool:

I played the flute and the clarinet.

I wanted to play the frech horn, but my music teacher said it was too heavy and weighed more than I did.:rolleyes:

I used to play.....

Sorry it took so long to reply: I meant to say bazooka. Yes I played the BAZOOKA in the 7th grade band. :D
