I dream that a patient person would teach me to play jazz drums and/or Hammond organ.

I USED to be able to play some small piano concertos from memory but not anymore.
Likewise, I do sometimes hum a tune on my small necklace harmonica which i payed nothing for (cashier error) and I guess that's it.

Took piano lessons as a kid and have played a few times as an adult. Also want to take guitar lessons sometime too. As a result of playing the piano I have played the organ some too.

My dream is to play the electric guitar and be really good at it. 8)

I play the guitar. Not overly well but still... 79% Of us play a musical instrument, surely this isn't only coincidence.

Used to play classical guitar, then harpsicord and now piano, when I have a piano.
Othewise I have been playing recorder (and tape-recorder :lol: - sorry), crumhorn and a bit of Kortholt (renaissance instruments).

Yes. I've been taking piano lessons on and off since I was five. It was okay, but I often got bored of it. I don't have very much patience for boring tasks, so I could never practice piano enough to progress beyond the lower-intermediate stage. I tried guitar a few times, but I didn't enjoy it. It just felt so awkward playing rock music. I started playing accordion five months ago. I'm progressing way faster than I ever did in piano. I find that I get more into the music and I don't get as bored of it. It can get frustrating, but most issues resolve themselves within one week.

I play violin and double bass in university, guitar and piano and bass guitar, and tin whistle at a performable level, and I can also play harmonica, banjo, low whistle, Irish Flute, and bodhran. I also have a vocal range from low bass to high tenor, as a result of my years in music theatre.

I took piano, clarinet, and guitar lessons----but, to no avail, really, and that was 40 years ago----so I checked "No", on the poll. I actually played piano well enough to play in a show, once, though.

I learned violin in the 6th grade and studied it for about the next ten years. Gave it up for the next ten before taking lessons again. Was a charter member of a community orchestra and last fall auditioned for our local professional symphony. After nailing the Mozart selections, I choked on Brahms and my interest has fallen WAY off since then.

I voted yes. Usually I describe it as learning to play the guitar, because I'm not so good.

I used to play the piano, but I've fallen out of practice.
