Do you play a musical instrument?

Postby taffy » Aug 15th, '08, 18:49



I play the guitar and I am curently learning to play the piano... (Badly) :D

It'll be interesting to see what other talents besides magic TM members have.

Over to you!

I too play the guitar, many years ago a group of us started up a "band" we wrote a few songs, recorded them (on primitive equipment!) It went on for a few years before we realised it wasn't going anywhere.

I play piano and keyboards and also can play most brass instruments but in particular the tuba and suzaphone (that's the one that wraps around you for the less knowledgeable :lol: ).

Love my Korg M1 synth (Jarre-influced childhood) - can't read music, or play in real time...but - hey - that's what PC's are for, surely :wink:

Everyone seems to have one or multiple instruments but me :lol: . I prefer lyrics to melody in songs, so that may be a factor. :D

I'm with you, Ian. I also listen to songs mainly for the words, and have no interest in music as such.

I can play the kazoo, though. Probably would be able to manage a tambourine.

At one time I could identify the notes on sheet music quickly enough to be able to pick out a song on a keyboard, as long as the keys were labelled with the note letters. And as long as I already knew the tune, so I knew how long to hold each note for.

That's the absolute lifetime high-water mark for me as far as music goes.
