Musical Skills

[RedYoshi]

I was just wondering who all the musicians are out there. What musical skill(s) do you guys have?

Music is a huge part of my life and I've been making music since I was about 2 years old. I play the piano pretty heavily and I've been playing for the last 15 years of my life. I play a lot of video game music of course but I really enjoy playing the classical pieces from Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Chopin, and many others. I have been taking piano lessons for most of my life and being able to play an instrument is just a wonderful thing and it's one of the best ways to let out your emotions. I also play some electric guitar. I've been playing for about 3 months and I'm pretty good at it, but I definitely prefer the piano because that's my forte if you will. (lol "forte" musical terminology humor...yeah that was a cheap shot I'll admit)

I joined band this year, the one before I graduate. It made me realize that I should have been doing it long before now as well.

I play trombone, but am not very good. We're playing some really cool stuff though and I'm able to do it so long as I write all the slide positions on my music.

I can sing, I think I sing okay, but everybody that has heard me says i'm great. But thats just friends and family, so I dunno.


I can play some piano. I first started playing the piano a few years ago in the Summer at my grandparents house in Arizona, they have this really nice piano in their main living room, so every Summer I went there i'd practice. I'm still not all that great though, I can just barely play "Everytime" by Britney Spears on the piano :P

I can also play the guitar, ...barely. I pretty much know the basics and a few simple songs, but thats it.

I love to sing. I know a person is skeptical when someone says they can sing well, but I think I've got a pretty good voice. I love to sing in choirs, and in high school I was involved in the regular choir and the 'elite' choir, oooooo.

I can play piano. I quit taking lessons in grade 7, and now only play what I feel like, but I love music theory. I LOVE it. I should go out and buy a bunch of theory books just to sit around and do them. :B I think it bothers my friends when I point out all the little nuances and incorrect notes when we listen to music. Ha haa..

I'm also a talented percussionist. I like to say I have a metronome in my head, since I'm fairly adequate at keeping time. I took band in junior high, but in high school I didn't because I didn't like the way the conductor couldn't keep time. |: So I occasionally play djembe for various choirs and stuff.

I've played bass since 3rd grade, so a little under 8 years. I'm attempting guitar also.

I'm also in a band, I only sing small stuff but I've written about 30-40 songs, and counting.

Sweet! Looks like a lot of musicians here, that's awesome! I'm not in any kind of band, but I was able to participate in a Jazz festival 2 years in a row. I played the piano with an actual jazz band, complete with a sax player, drummer, a bassist, and me on the piano. Jazz is one of my favorite styles of music,  a lot of freestyle; I also really enjoy playing ragtime music like Scott Joplin.

Been playing trumpet for five years, currently a freshmen, but my skills are a bit higher than that. For example, our director was comparing me to our jazz band bassist, who's been playing for one year. He said that that put him on at a 6th grade level, technically, while how I've been playing for five puts me at a freshman level, but he added that I play more at a sophomore or junior level. I love the confidence boosts. ^_^ I love anything that sounds cool, pretty much. Be it classical or jazz. Whatever sounds cool. :p

Also dabble in bass and guitar, mainly bass.

I've been playing the electric guitar for...
A month =|

This minus the actual being good at piano.

[Silverhawk79]

I can play Guitar Hero, that's it.
:(

[SkyMyl]

My main musical talent is the Piano. After 5 (4? I can't remember...) years, I'm finally starting to get the hang of it, plus it's also integrated into my gaming skills now...so yeah.

I've also started playing the Ocarina as of...one month ago. =|

[Super]

Throughout my school years, I have taken both choir and band. I liked choir, but I didn't like band too much because all of my band teachers were whores. I still learned to play the trumpet, though.


I have also been playing drums for years, now. Beating objects with sticks is fun.
I've also had some training on guitar. I'm better at drums.

I can play Guitar Hero, that's it.
:(

Haha faggot.

[GreatGonzales106]

I can play Guitar Hero, that's it.
:(

Oh yeah, this too  :)

[Kaso]

I sing often. I can't help it.

I own a drum kit. Don't use it much, but I can play.

I have a beautiful acoustic guitar that's been played on and off for a couple of years.

[Chaos]

I've played the piano, violin, and trumpet. I quit all of them though. The most experience I had out of all of them is the piano. Violin I had like one or two years of experience. And the trumpet I've had about three I think. I can't remember how much I had with the piano, but I've lost almost all skill. I had very little skill to begin with anyways. But I want to start learning again, even though it's kinda late. People with piano skills have made me envy them so I kept telling myself to start up again. I envy your skills RedYoshi. I wish I had never quit.
