<p>And how long have you been playing?</p>
<p>I "play" piano. I started taking it last December on a whim, and I enjoyed it so much I decided to take lessons each week.</p>
<p>Piano. All my books say something about an “intermediate” level, so I guess that’s what I’m at. I started taking lessons when I was nine, but I stopped when I was eleven and didn’t start again until I was thirteen. I didn’t have access to a piano at home during some of those years, and I don’t practice as much as I should even when I do have one.</p>
<p>I played the flute for 7 years (5th grade - 11th grade). I pretty much hated it though - so happy that I don’t have band senior year!</p>
<p>I’ve been playing cello since the age of six. I’ve had private lessons + youth orchestra.</p>
<p>Before that, I played violin. I can still “play” but at a very rudimentary level. After playing cello, it’s difficult. </p>
<p>I know how to play flute also. I played during middle school.</p>
<p>I can kind of play piano, but not really. Never learned formally, and can’t play any complex pieces.</p>
<p>I play the alto saxophone. I just started taking lessons, and have played at my school for all 2 years it has been offered (going on a 3rd.)</p>
<p>violin, but i majorly suck at it (it always freaked me out that the bow is made of horse hair LOL)</p>
<p>piano, but i majorly suck at that too</p>
<p>Self taught guitar, but I majorly suck just like clementines lol…</p>
<p>Altosaxophone,its fairly easy after the firstmonth, been playing for 5 years</p>
<p>I play trumpet</p>
<p>Clarinet, since the sixth grade (so, seven years). I haven’t been majorly into band since freshman year, but it’s still a hobby of mine.</p>
<p>I’ve been playing the clarinet since 5th grade, so I’m in my 6th year. I played the violin for 3 years. I’ve been playing the tenor sax since last December, and I play a little percussion. :p</p>
<p>VIOLIN! C:
I sort of wish I knew how to play the oboe though.</p>
<p>I’ve been taking double bass lessons through our school district since I was 8 with the same teacher throughout. By senior year, he will have been my instructor in some capacities for 10 years.</p>
<p>Piano, flute, and piccolo. Piano was my first instrument. (:</p>
<p>I kind of wish I learned a more obscure instrument at a younger age, though, like the oboe. High school flutists have literally no chance of securing a spot at youth orchestras (not local ones, the ones that rehearse in the city - CYS, NYYS, etc.) because of undergrads. /: I live in NY…I have to compete with flutists from Juilliard.</p>
<p>I used to play violin, but I had to quit starting this year cause of schedule issues. I still play it sometimes tho.</p>
<p>Trumpet for the last 8 years, piano for 7 though I didn’t take lessons for 3 of those years, and I taught myself guitar in 5 years ago. Progress comes in random spurts with guitar, but I’ve gotten good enough to play some decent riffs and fingerpicking.</p>
<p>Yeah, you should see all the band activities on my college resume. And one of my supp essays. Music is a big chunk of my life.</p>
<p>Clarinet since 4th grade !</p>
<p>Piano since I was 3!!!</p>
<p>i have been playing flute since 4th grade… so that is 6 years. i haven’t played beyond my school’s instrumental ensemble/ city band. </p>
<p>i play the piano… recreationally.</p>
<p>You all make me feel so inadequate lol</p>
<p>You’ve all been doing your instruments for years, and here I am with only a few months experience. wooooooooooooo</p>
