Do you play a musical instrument?

No. I'd like to learn to play the piano or the guitar, but I don't have the motivation or patience to teach myself and probably wouldn't take lessons due to anxiety (unless it was from someone I knew). Also, I live in a condo and worry about annoying the neighbors. I bought a harmonica awhile back, but haven't practiced it because I'm too concerned about the neighbors.
If I ever get a house with a basement, I'm going to make a room that is almost sound proof where I can crank up my stereo and not worry about annoying others.

one of the very few things i really really wish my parents had done differently when raising me was get me to learn piano at a young age.
anyway yes, i played violin for 5 years and flute for 9 years.
i really wish i had continued violin instead of opting for flute when i got into high school because i was better at it. i love strings and i listen to quite a bit of music that has violins.
i used to know some songs on guitar but that was years ago. i really want to start playing something again and my brother left his bass here so i might pick that up. i'll probably just learn some of my favourite bass lines...

You could get an electrical instrument like a keyboard. Those you can plug headphones into. I have this http://www.amazon.com/M-Audio-PROKE...8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1252972983&sr=8-1 it works pretty great and I really enjoy it

Interesting, I remembered the late years of disco (1978-1980) and wanted to play the clarinet at five and the flute at six. I play them both now

I've played piano since I was 6 but I suck because I only ever practiced right before my lesson. It can be really fun when I actually put some effort into a song and start to like it though.

Started to learn the guitar when I was 20. Learned the trumpet and piano in middle school but I don't remember much of it.

I always wanted to when I was younger but was never very musically inclined.

No. I wish I did though. I always wanted to learn to play the piano or violin.

I used to play the trumpet in elementary school. I was pretty good! And I liked it. But then I moved and couldn't do it anymore. My family didn't have money for it at the time. When I was playing trumpet...well, my music teacher liked how good I was doing in choir and basically sponsored me so I could be in band, too. Yeah. From then on out I just did choir through middle school cuz it was less expensive. So I guess my voice was my instrument for a while! I tried to pick up keyboard and guitar but no money for lessons and I'm pretty bad at teaching myself things for more than a day haha. In high school my social anxiety came up and I stopped choir.

i'd give my left arm to be able to drum...even though that'd make it harder. It seems my hands and legs are tied to each other so i cant do 2 different movements at the same time
can play guitar but i wish i was better. but like everything else i dont have the patience to put in more work than i have to. usually give up trying to learn a song if i dont get the gist in the first 10 minutes
