I noticed I have some very musically talented friends. Most of them know to play AT LEAST two instruments (which makes me wonder how they balance practicing and homework so well :o). I know how to play the flute and a little bit of piano and guitar. What about you guys?
i know piano and guitar! ^^ and recorder cause it was compulsory to learn that in school. haha
i want to learn the drums! :goodmood:
??? well, I'm not a big fan of instruments... I was forced to learn how to play the flute while I was at school.. :'( I hated it! :noway: mmm... but I know how to play the piano... 2 instruments?? WOW!
Ooo My old school used to require learning recorders too. Wasn't very good at it though (mostly because I'm so ADD...)
I was forced to learn flute, too, for band! I liked it back in middle school, but now I'm way too lazy to practice. :noway:
I lurrrve ur siggy. >__<
I have played piano, violin, guitar, percussion, guitar... and, of course, the recorder.
And we've probably all sang before.
("Your voice is an INTRSTRUMENT! It is one you have been born with from GOD!!!" says my mm teacher.)
OH YEA. Singing is love <3
:D i was in choir for like 6 years? till i was quite sick of it. but bathroom singing is always enjoyable :=D:

Thanks! Lots of experimenting to get it just right. :D
Haha! I love singing in the bathroom! Great acoustics. :wahaha:
I can play the piano and the drums. I don't really count recorder as an instrument, but that was a mandatory one for me too :P
I have also played around with a guitar, but not to a level where I call it 'I can play'
i play niet nada nonnne XD Im a music retard. cant do sht with music XDDD ussed to play clarinet in my music class in highschool. but that was only 2 years... now i only sing XD
where do you sing, xye? in the church's chorus or in the shower?? :=X:
I usually sing in the shower or just anywhere around the house when no one is home. Or, if I'm feeling really bored, I turn on the family karaoke machine and go nuts. :=D:
Because we all know it's customary for Asian families to have karaoke machines.

Karaoke FTW! <3 popopopopopopo-ker faaace! XD
Whoa. People are so talented :'(
I can play the piano and the flute too. Seems like a lot of people play the flute *skip
I want to learn how to play the violin~ :goodmood:
I can play the....Bath Room singing, not that anyone wants to hear that....
But I want to play the piano because I find it a great instrument with great sounds. Also requires a multitasking mind to be able to play with 2 hands at once far apart. Heres one of the thing that inspires me to want to learn it.
Two extemely famous pianists of China...The one in black is Jay Chou and the one in white is Yu Hao.
Jay Chou Piano Battle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbSeZh6apVk#)
Ooooh i watched that too and I was so inspired :D too bad my level is still so so so far away. And they are just simply awesome! Jay Chou ftw!!!!!! The piano battle in jay's movie, secret, is awesome toooo! *completely in fantasy land now* :love:
Secret was pretty awesome, I somewhat ruined it for myself by wiking it
I can play the clarinet since it was mandatory to learn in school. I also play the piano, guitar, flute, and ukelele xD
But I can't sing, only in the showers :woohehe:
Hm, well I have played the piano, recorder, flute, xylophone, and cello.
I currently only play the piano for now. But I used to play them all like a year ago... But I had to drop them because I didn't have enough time .
Nice vid btw :bingo: I can play:
That's pretty much all of them. I learned playing the guitar first.
Then my mom enrolled me in a piano tutorial. But the tutor only
taught me how to do the chords and all because I was using an
organ before. Then I learned how to make variations with the chords
from my classmate XD Then I learned the Flute. It was a subject in the
music class. So basically, whether you like it or not or the teacher was bitchy,
you have to play the flute. XD No excuses works on her :vomit:
I'd like to learn drums (I've had drum lessons with the same teacher >.<) :crywithno:
And well it was nice xD And I'd also like to learn how to play harmonica using the instrument
itself and the leaves. :goodmood:

all because I was using an organ before.
woah Organ? i've always wanted to try playing that.
lesse i can play piano and violin officially. I can guess my way around a guitar or other string instruments. I want to learn a wind instrument though!!!!!! :'(
All you awesome people. I can only play the piano. :swt:
Woah, I had no idea Jay Chou could play the piano. :O
The instrument I wish I knew how to play is the piano. I have wanted to learn since ages ago, but never got lessons. I can play a few short songs by memory though. XD
I was forced to learn an instrument in high school, so I know the clarinet. I'm not sure I remember it anymore though. :=D:
omg i wanna learn the harp~~
ahh, the sound of angels.. :bath:
Does singing count? :=D:
I can only play well the guitar. And a bit of flute, piano and drums...
piano, singing, and I used to play violin xD
I don't know why, but my parents never made/enrolled me in an instrument even though they are asian. I would love to play the violin </3. It's a-mazing.
Piano. (Really sucky at it.)
Singing. (Moderate.)
Bass guitar. (Self teaching at the moment.)
I want to learn to play the guqin. I'm so attracted to its low sounds. Or even the guzheng.
@litoxpinky: Your parents sound relax.
oooo guzheng is nice :)
xD
i really like singing...but my parents like...they don't KNOW how much i want to sing. xD
meeeep i like playing the piano, but i hate doing theory :P
My parents are like that, too. I love singing, though, so I don't let it get to me. I have written a few songs, too, though I can't write music scores, wo I don't have a set tune written for any of them.
lol, then you have it lucky XD
My parents don't understand how much I DON'T want to sing O_O (except when in the shower of course... then i have the same problem ;D)
lol want to trade parents? I'll throw in my little brothers for free!! :D
i play the piano, guitar, recorder, violin, flute..... and i like singing on my own (as in shower, car, home)
I dont really continue with learning guitar and violin tho... im good enough on recorder. i learn the piano in hk in summer hols and im currently learning the flute and iv had my grade 1 exam (on valentines day).....
just had her piano theory exam... :swt:.......i forgot how to write a brieve...
Ouch... theory. I mostly bs'd my way through the theory exercises I had to do along with my piano lessons... Which I regret now because how am I ever going to learn guitar if I don't even know chords? TT.TT My piano skillz are always going to be impaired by my lack of practice motivation and small hands. However, I am a genius on the xylophone :=D:
I'm surprised at how many people had to learn the recorder! I did too but I thought it was just my quirky little school. Did anybody else also have to learn to play bells?
-_- :haix: i'm still waiting for the results...hope i didn't fail
now it's the practicing part...TT.TT
Blech, practicing... Oh well, I think music is worth it. Did you find out how you did?
I think I'll stick with singing for now, though I might take guitar lessons one day.
T_T i've started on the 1st 2 pgs of text for a bach song -_- IT'S SO ANNOYING I WANNA CRY :touched:
I got my results some time ago and I got my certificate on friday! :love: I passed! I PASSED!! *skip
I play piano mostly. I can play a fair few guitar chords buuuuut once my fingers start hurting Im all -cryfase- and go back to the piano - haha! I also sing - but only when I do musical theatre. O_O I sorta love theatre.
kuyaaaaa i love singing but...i can never sing loud enough xD...i don't talk loud enough either >.< uuuuu~
so i guess...for my exam, i have to sight-sing a short little piece and um...not fail -_-
Really !! O.o I would've thought that you were quite chatty Icey...
xD like werr, i let my childish side run wild...
Waah..Two instruments? I can't play anything. xD But I kinda want to play the piano, guitar, or violin~

hahaha.. Ok! I'll try! I don't know if I can learn it just by myself though.. ;p
All you need is some motivation! get the music to a song you really like and start learning how to play it. Here's my motivation for you : Go Pinkz Go, you can do it :goodjob:
Thank you so much renny..
:touched:
I will do my best!
:=X:see there we go now you will do well. if you need help reading music you can ask for help
I want to play the ukele so bad it hurts.
I play the piano and I sing.

what instrument is that???
xD it's like a mini guitar thingy? :swt:
except that it's 100000 times cooler?
oh!!! :=X:
I think this is a pic of it....(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w4BnWhn8PX4/TDrut81t4mI/AAAAAAAAACU/r7khTM-49X0/s1600/ukulele.jpg)
@Icey: A banjo?
xD um...hahaha
i wanna play the cello pretty badly =_= but they're very expensive
grrr...violin is just too boring.
Oh... wow. I was way off. :swt:
I want to play this asian flute thing... it's so beautiful sound, but I can never figure out what it's called.
Di zi?
i find the sound pretty easy to make, but it's still a lot harder than a flute.
it's hard to make a GOOD sound xD

can you get a pic?? because i think I know what you mean but not sure....
Oh, Chinese ancient instruments are so pretty!
I love the one that's like a vertical harpsichord and you pluck the strings!~ <3
that one is awesome!
xD those are really big and the sound is very low. i like the ones where you hit the strings with...this stick thingy.
the sound is a lot higher though
Hm, I've seen people use it for performances on xing guang da dao (<-- Talent show that my gramps watches. And I watch with him... *hides* >_<) Anyway, I was watching with my gramps today, and WHO do I find on the judge's panel? Han Geng! I swear I just spelt his name wrong, but all I was wondering is how much they paid for him to get on the stage and do a dance off with an amateur and hug her, and how much the people in the audience were there for the SHOW and how much the people were there for Hangeng.
There was a shot of squealing fangirls every five freaking seconds T_T Well, it was entertaining amid my PMS depression.
*LOUD FANGIRL SQUEAL*
HANGENG?! YES I WUV HIM VERY MUCH! <3
i went to a music renting place and tried the Gu Qing (that vertical harpsichord thingy where you pluck the strings?)
the sound was so nice <3
I leave it to the pros.
I don't play any.
Would love to learn piano, guitar, violin, etc. Just love to learn :love:
I know piano, clarinet, and trumpet. :)
I never played piano very seriously -- just enough to be able to sight-read my anime songs. That's all I ever needed.
I'm apparently very good at clarinet, so I've been working on that.
And my trumpet is so-so.
Out of all those, I like the piano the most. You don't have to work on breathing, there's a lot more different songs that you can play, and I like the sound it makes the most.
:love:
I played violin and keyboard (not the computer keyboard :=X: )
But I quit. Too much stress and too much activities in my schedule :swt: Wish I could learn violin again though, I want to play meltdown <33
Clarinet is not that hard to lean... Except if you are me... I cant keep a rhythm to save my life, I can play the notes but i don't count :swt:
I'll just keep to the theory
I can't bear blowing :=X: It takes my breath away. :=D:
I got used to it slowly :=X:

Giantic cello...It's super cute to play :goodjob:
Yeah... Cello is a cute instrument.. It's quite heavy though.. :love:
Gigantic cellos are called double basses... Yea they are heavy but then you lean it on the floor...
