    I'm a beginner pianist and I really love it but, of course, it gets gradually harder. I can also play the trumpet at Grade 3 but I stopped to take up piano instead.

    What instruments can you play?

    In my life I have played...

    Descant Recorder
    Treble Recorder
    Clarinet
    Saxophone
    Keyboard
    Guitar
    Bass Guitar
    Banjo
    Mandolin
    Diatonic Button Accordion

    I'm still learning most of them.

    I have plans to take up Electric Steel guitar, violin, upright bass and possible button accordion if I can afford one.

  7. I played the Bb clarinet for 9 looooonnnng years lol. I was section leader two years in a row, so I guess I was pretty good lol.
    I also played the Eb and A clarinet. Idk if you know but there are like 27 different ypes of clarinets, which is really cool. So i have played 3 of those 27, Bb, Eb, and A!
    I also did alittle piano in 9th and 11th grade, so I understand your struggle.

    I'm strangely good at the recorder.

    And I used to play clarinet and saxaphone, but my mouth muscles have pretty much gone out by this point.

    Piano (principal instrument at uni, 5 years).
    Guitar (first instrument, acoustic and electric, 8 years).
    Irish Tin Whistle (4 years).
    Percussion (uni secondary, 2 years).
    Clarinet (uni secondary, 1 year).

    As a music major, there's never enough hours in a day to learn all the instruments that I've fallen in love with.

    I'm most proficient at flute (played for almost 14 years!) and only briefly piccolo. In high school, I switched to oboe and got pretty good for someone who was largely self-taught. I miss playing oboe a lot. In college, I played flute on my own and got into Celtic music, including playing on the tin whistle, but the whistle is sometimes too shrill for my tastes. I've also tried learning piano, but I'm basically a beginner.

    This seems to come to mind when that question is asked.

    I played the recorder in elementary school so that's about it but I have always wanted to learn to play the guitar.
