Anyone Play A Instrument

I've performed in public on trumpet, trombone, and alto and tenor saxophone. Sure I play some others (like guitar, piano, french horn, flute), but not very well. Oh and I played timpani a few times. If you give me a wind instrument, I can probably play it.

Hey y'all!!

I'm new here, but figured I'd stick my nose in and talk about my musical interests too!! I play keyboards, guitar, fiddle (that's a violin for y'all that ain't from around here!! lol) and I'm workin on learnin the sax. I used to sing, a loooooong time ago. I haven't had much opportunity to do that in recent years, but when I was a teenager, I was in a band and also sang at several local clubs. I still have many of my old recordings and I put one of 'em up online if anyone wants to take a listen. Hope ya like it!! It's one of my all time favorite songs.

Enjoy!!

I can play the saxophone. I've been playing since 2004.

I sing, mostly quasi-operatic power metal with an abundance of high notes, not sure what it is about them but I love doing them. My voice is classified as a leggiero tenor, and my vocal range is F#2 (F# above low C) to Eb6 (Eb above Soprano C), but past C6 (Soprano C) I start to strain my voice pretty bad. My whistle register also extends my range up to about C7. Working on a project with a friend who plays several instruments, the genre we're going for is something like... Progressive Folk Metal. We named the band 'Murmuring Woodlands', I've already written the lyrics to a few songs and will be recording and uploading them acapella pretty soon, as a preview. Should be interesting. :)

I hope to make a career out of this someday, but I'm terrified of the thought of performing live. I think I'll avoid that kind of thing and only sing on our albums with a stage name, so no one can find me. My city isn't exactly that open-minded :x. I'm not really concerned though, if one person enjoys my music, that's all I'll ever need.

I play mainly guitar, bass and keyboard, but if you hand me an instrument I'll usually be able to play it a little in about 30 minutes...

I play drums. Not very well, and since we moved I haven't played for a while (no room at Dad's for a kit). Got a small hand drum for my birthday though, so that will keep me up on timing and rhythm. I'm just dying to play on a double bass though, it's been sooooo long. I play primarily hard rock styles, but I've been listening to a lot of jazz and I want dearly to incorporate that into my playing. My goal is a very eclectic and progressive style.

I started with the guitar, and I still play, but percussion just possessed me more. I still love to play guitar and there's so much I want to learn, especially after seeing local Trace Bundy (search for him on youtube and prepare for magic), but I have so little time for creative improvement. Most my time lately has been spent on sketching.

Unfortunately I don't play any instruments, but I would love to learn to play the bass guitar or keyboard. Ever since I started listening to music I've loved the sounds these two instruments make, and I would love to be able to play them.

I play the most overplayed instrument ever, and very badly at that. The electric guitar. Mostly I just finger pick songs but it's been a while since I was able to play it, lost the 3rd guitar I bought to the pawnshop...meh.

Played the drums for roughly umm... I want to say 5 years, spent the last 2 or 3 with em not set up though. Just simply isn't enough room for the big'ol 7 piece kit in here anymore.

I played the Oboe for four years. But the fourth year, my first year in high school, I had to start playing the Flute for marching band and I hated it (as in, hated the flute section in marching band, and the marching band in general, and the teacher). Besides that, you can't even hear the flutes! All that hard work, running into Tubas, ruining my mom's flute, for what?! Why couldn't everyone had just played Piccolos instead of just the five best flute players?! So I quit band, because there was no way to NOT do marching band season and still be in band. And I thought in high school I was going to play something besides "2nd Flute" parts I had played throughout middle school but nooooo. The next year I would've FINALLY played better stuff (Oboe is a often a solo instrument!), or if I would've gone on to Wind Assemble (they never even ended up with an Oboe player at all), but I never got the opportunity, because I just hated marching band with a passion.

Makes me sad. =(

I really want to learn guitar or piano someday. So I could play music again... because just picking up an oboe again isn't practical (custom made reeds or else they sound like crap, and they cost a lot, and unless I get good at playing again I'll sound like a 'dying duck' as many nicely put it in middle school).

Actually, my dream would be playing a Cello! That's be amazing.

I play several instruments myself, some better than others. The primary ones are guitar (played since I was 6 or 7), little bit of piano, classical and blues harp (harmonica), and the bodhran. I try and play just about any instrument I can get ahold of, sometimes the results are.. amusing. Oh! And I also write and sing a mean blues. :D

'Cha, I can play the radio like nobody's business!

Seriously though...I've been a "beginner" guitar player for ohhhhh, about 15 years now. I never really had the ambition to play every day, or even every month for that matter.

I do really wanna learn the ocarina though. I just have to get my hands on one.

      I am glad your schools are flush with excess spending money, but that is not the situation here in CA.  Back in 1978 an Initiative and Referendum law was passed that limited property taxes severely and basically cut funding from Property Taxes to pennies of the amounts needed to even minimally fund school districts.  Even the U.S. Supreme Court which upheld the law on Federal and Constitutional grounds nevertheless wryly commented in its decision that the state electorate had lost its collective mind in enacting the law.  Our schools are funded through the State's General Fund which receives other tax sources for creating the entire state budget. The General Fund and the legislature try to give  adequate funding  to the primary and secondary school districts as well as college districts and other obligations all from the same limited funds. There are also strict limits on assessing property taxes that actually prevent them from paying for other services directly affecting property ownership which is their proper place, and so even property related services come from our General Fund. Your property tax money seems to be ear-marked for schools which is wonderful and I hope they use it according to your thoughts, but as said we have a different problem out here in CA.  I love my state but do recognize its short comings.  Point of information, the tax law that is creating problems came from the same small area of the state as the proposed referendum on Trans Youth.

      The numbers of those negatively affected are significant and discouraging, but the good news is that "over half" of Trans youth live in safe states, and such states do exist.

      Seems like a reasonable agreement.  Seattle stays out of Texas, Texas stays out of Seattle.  Weird that the Seattle hospital had a business license in Texas...

      Seems to me the time and cost is already being spent....on lawsuits.  And schools are absolutely flush with cash, at least around here.  They get enough property taxes, they need to learn appropriate use of funds.  Buy a few less computers and a few more bathrooms, and spend less time on athletics and I'd bet you a hamburger that the issue would be solved in a year.   To me, it seems like the whole bathroom thing is like lancing a boil or a cyst.  A sharp initial pain, and done. People are just resistant to doing it.      I think I could solve most of it...but politicians get too much press off of this to want it solved.   1.  Universal use of individual, gender-neutral, private bathrooms 2.  Universal use of individual, gender-neutral, private spaces for changing athletic clothes 3.  Emphasize co-ed rather than gendered sports.  Focus on physical activity, good sportsmanship, and having FUN.  Lifelong enjoyment, not just competition. 4.  Ban for-profit athletic programs at highschool and college levels, and ban betting/gambling related to athletic programs at educational institutions. 5.  Affirm parental rights consistently, rather than treating it like a salad bar.  That means permitting gender-affirming healthcare with parental consent, AND prohibiting schools keeping secrets from parents.  Adopt the "paperwork principle."  If it is on paper, parents 100% have a right to know about it and be informed on paper, including names/pronouns if such are documented.  If it is verbal only, it is informal enough to be overlooked or discussed verbally if needed.

      It would work better, but the issue will always be time and cost, unless a school district is building a new school.  Districts everywhere are short on infrastructure funds, so it's not a realistic solution in most cases.   Carolyn Marie

      I have always thought that the solution to the bathroom question (as well as improved bathroom quality/privacy for everybody) would be individual, gender-neutral, locking bathrooms.  Not this wacky thing we insist on doing with stalls.  It wouldn't take much more space, really.  And it might actually work better.  Ever notice how there's often a line at the door of the women's room, but plenty of free space in the men's?  Yet the men's and women's bathrooms are usually of equal size/capacity?

      I'm going to have to stop staying up so late at night...  Its after midnight, so technically morning.  So, Good Morning, y'all.   I got to go to work with my husband for the last two days.  I'm working on the graphics stuff for his company, so he said that nobody would really mind if I hang out.  I usually stay home, but its kind of nice to be somewhere different for a little while.  I spent part of the day at one of the company's installation sites... beautiful weather, so I worked on my laptop sitting under a tree.  And I learned something new - it is amazing how electrical wires are installed underground.  They're put in PVC tubes, and actually pulled through.  By hand!  Apparently a machine would risk breaking the wires somehow, so I watched a line of men literally playing tug-of-war with hundreds of feet of wire.  It was like something out of an old movie - my husband leading a call/response work chant and everybody pulling in a rhythm.    It does give me a bit of self-doubt, though.  Like, if that's what "real men" are doing... maybe I'm a poor-quality imitation

      Can I just say quickly re the bathroom question, how come no-one ever seems to suggest building more gender-neutral toilets? 
    • Betty K
      With the onslaught of bills targeting trans kids in the US and the current attempt to radically curtail gender-affirming treatment for kids in the UK I think you could just as easily ask why are things so hard for trans kids. Given the volatile political situation around them, I am pleased to hear there are still services attempting to help them.
