I can play both acoustic and electric guitar, though I can do better on the electric.  :P

I sing, it's just not very good. (;_;)
Honestly, I wish I could sing.
Some tips for singing I learned from my vocal coach:

To sing well, you have to breath properly. Always stand up straight, helps with the lungs. Your voice is like a muscle, you have to strengthen it. You can improve your voice fast if you have a vocal coach, but if not, it could take years D:

And for gods sake, don't strain your voice, or you could not be singing for a while...
I just don't have the natural talent for singing.
Either way, my voice cracks way too much in order for me to sing properly in the first place.

Mabe your voice just isn't fully developed yet. Anybody can sing. It just takes a lot of practice and confidence, like I said, you just have to really take the time to train those muscles.

It does take some natural talet, sure, but you really need practice and confidence to be a good singer.

everyone can sing, not everyone can sing well.

I know my notes, I can keep beat, but my range is extremely limited (I have at most an octave and a half of range).  I can find a note instantly if it's played on the piano.

However, of all the good singers I know, very, very few of them can find the note when it's played on piano without searching for it.  This is because they don't have much formal training in other musical instruments.

At this point, none. I used to be able to play a good violin however.

I am a piano player. I have been playing for 2 to 3 years and can play pretty well. I am currently working on Mario air platfor them but I plan to learn King dedede's theme.

...It's quite obvious...

I have been playing the Piano since I was 4 years old. I took lessons for 8 years, however stopped for I was bored of it.

I recently picked up a keyboard and started to learn the LOZ themes, Mario themes and a few misc ones.

No way.

First of all, they're all pretty good renditions. Second of all, I taught myself how to play the Mario theme, too (I'm guessing you taught yourself since it's one handed). I also taught myself some other Mario songs (maybe I'll make a video for the sake of this thread).

Finally, both of our names are Brian. Weird, no?

 I play the trombone. This is my 5th year playing. I enjoy playing it, but I could be a lot better if I practiced on a regular basis. xP
I have dabbled in the trumpet, but I have to write the fingerings in to play almost anything without pausing. Same goes for the french horn. I french horn is a lot easier for me to play since the embouchure is similar to the trombone's.

In elementary school music class, the teachers asked me sometimes if I play piano since they thought I read sheet music so easily or whatever.
In middle school, I played viola for like two years, then quit since I don't really like string instruments.
I just got a keyboard for Christmas, and I've never seriously tried playing piano before, but I intend to sometime get around to it. Maybe take piano class at school.

Basically, I have no decent experience in playing music D=

Here's that video I said I would make.

And yes, you will now finally see what I look like.  :O

I used to only play it with one hand, however after a while I was able to learn the left hand.

Its fun

Enroll your own darn self.

I was too embarassed to ask my parents to take me to vocal lessons a few years ago, so I did it myself, and i'm darn glad I did.

If I do it myself it'll piss my mom off. She wants to be in control of everything. >_>
