<p>I played the recorder in 4th grade and that was it. </p>

Violin for 3 months when I was 6 (does that even count?)</p>
<p>I started playing the violin when I was 4, but quit when I was 13. The last song I played was La Folia.
I started playing the piano when I was 8, and it’s been 6 years since I started. I’m playing Arabesque No. 1 (lol I know I suck) xD
I started playing the drums in the school band in 4th grade and quit before 6th grade.
I started playing the clarinet in the school band in 7th grade, and I just finished 8th grade (I don’t plan on continuing).
I got a guitar in 6th grade, but I never really learned how to play it xD It’s just been sitting in my room ever since.</p>
<p>Oh and I belt showtunes [strike]every day[/strike] sometimes in the car if that counts</p>
<p>EDIT: Formatting… I tried…</p>
<p>I’ve played the clarinet since 4th grade. I took some piano lessons when I was very young for a few years, then I stopped. In the last few years I’ve recently gotten back on the piano and I’ve been trying to learn as much as I can without a teacher. Recently started on Mozart’s Sonata in F K.332 and I’ve been working on Debussy’s First Arabesque for a few months now.</p>
<p>@Ctesiphon We’re working on the same piano song now! But I’ve been playing for 6 years… I’m really behind.</p>
<p>I used to play the violin but it wasn’t really my thing. I found much more enjoyment and dedication to the upright bass and cello, which I’ve been playing for 8 years now? I don’t know, but my instrumental focus nowadays is voice, which is definitely my <em>thing</em> and my passion. </p>
<p>@LosingCrayon Not to be pedantic, but it’s not a “song”. Songs are sung, piano pieces are not! :P</p>
<p>I think the Arabesques are beautiful pieces though. Even if is less technically challenging than the Fantaisie-Impromptu or something there’s a lot of interpretation involved in Debussy’s music; it’s very beautiful. Good luck!</p>
<p>I’ve been playing the cello for almost eight years now, and have been singing for three. I also compose music and have just finished this:

<p>Piano since the age of 4 - working on Rachmaninoff’s 2nd piano concerto 
Violin from 2nd to 10th grade - don’t take lessons anymore, but I play at gigs / busk a lot with friends (we have a string quartet for hire in the local area). Last piece I played was the entire Mendelssohn concerto
Clarinet since 5th grade - planning on studying this + something else as a double major in college! Working on a lot of pieces + excerpts for various auditions, but focusing on the Mozart concerto. I’m auditioning for NYO-USA this year; anyone else here doing the same?</p>
