    I currently don't play any instrument, but I would love to learn how to play the piano. I'm sure it will be very challenging, since I'm not musically talented. But I'll keep my fingers crossed. I might actually discover a hidden talent.

    I play guitars and keyboard. And I also play flute. I learned playing guitar when I was eleven years old. During my first year in secondary school. I was a member of school rondalia. We usually play during Mass and during welcoming program for our benifactors. Since then I never stop playing guitar although I already graduated last 2012 from that school.

    About my keyboard skills, I learned it from youtube only. I was so curious and passionate last year to learn keyboard. It's not easy. Your fingers must flexible. But since I've been playing guitar for years now, I just it a bit hard. Maybe if I don't play guitar and I don't have any background in music, it will be super hard. I'm still in intermediate now in keybaord. I will continue practicing it for me master it.

    And I learned playing flute before I learned to play guitar. It's my basic skill in understanding the notes and music graphs. I learned the proper notes in flute.

    I play the guitar, piano, and ukulele (if you even count that as an instrument). I began taking piano lessons when I was in second grade, and I have played the piano for over 10 years. I wish I practiced more, but it comes pretty easily to me. I got an electric guitar last Christmas, and I can play some interesting riffs, nothing too complicated. I want to become more skilled at playing the guitar, but it's difficult for me to stretch my fingers so far apart.

    I play the piano, guitar, and recorder for my church. These three instruments are the only instruments played in our church so I'm kind of a jack of all trades but master of none. I'm not a great player at any of these instruments, can barely play by ears, slow at sight reading, and not good with plucking. When I graduate college, I want to spend more time studying music so that i'll improve my music skills and be a great musician.

    I play the piano, but I'm not that good at it (I haven't even learned how to read notes fast enough to play most music). The main reason is that I don't have a keyboard or a piano. I only learned how to play it because my school had a piano. During recess and lunch time, I always went to the piano and fiddled with it. I did this for every single day in my school until I managed to learn how to play it.

    Hopefully I can get to earn enough money to buy myself a keyboard so I can finally practice and play songs that I wanted to play.

    I've been told that I'm currently at the intermediate level for violin. I've been playing since my first year in high school, and had been quite active in performing with the orchestra of my college. I haven't been able to find time to play since I graduated from college, though. Still, I like to think that my fingers still have some muscle-memory. I really do want to play again.

    I briefly tried piano as a child but found that it didn't interest me as much as other instruments. I only practiced to appease my parents, and quit as soon as I could.

    I enjoy playing the saxophone, though it has been a while since I played. I started when I was 9. I also played the drums, piano, flute and trumpet briefly while exploring instruments growing up. My absolute favorite instrument is my voice. Singing is my joy!

    I LOVE music, it is my life passion. I started playing guitar when I was in grade 5 and then discovered that I loved the Oud (a middle eastern lute). I begged my dad to get me one which I finally did and now I have been playing for several years now. Music has allowed me to achieve goals in my life beyond compare.

    I love to play piano,It is the most accessible instrument worldwide and also with practice within a short period of time you can play different keys. Music brings healing to the soul and that is why in the bible King Saul enquired of anyone who can play the harp and immediately they found a young man by the David who played night and day until he received his healing. Majority has mentioned piaono like Onesmus and I would reccommend many to try out the piano. The piano has variations in volume (i.e., loudness) produced in response to a pianist's touch or pressure on the keys: the greater the velocity of a key press, the greater the force of the hammer hitting the strings, and the louder the sound of the note produced and the stronger the attack.

    The musical instrument I am expert in is clapping hands. This is one of the most natural thing to do. One does not need to borrow nor buy, you just go.

    My hands are instruments to praise my lord. I have clapped them in church as I sing and sway to music. It is a winderful musical instrument.

    Two of my most favourite musical instruments are the piano and the saxophone. A while ago I started learning the piano but I’ve not quite gotten there. I got quite busy with other activities but I still keep reminding myself that I got to learn. I have video tutorial lessons that aid me in this arena.

    I've learned to play guitar a long time ago but it seems that lack of practice has made my fingers stiff. I bought organ but haven't gotten into it. I bought a ukulele and tried but to no avail. I think given enough time, playing ukulele fairly easy since I have played guitar before. Surprisingly, you can finish a song in ukulele using only four notes. I think I just need to focus. I've learned from one of the speakers in Ted if I remember it right that an average 20 hours of time are needed in order to learn new things. I haven't spent that much time but I will try again sometime later. I just need to put it in my bucket list.

    In my family, few people are interested in music. From my mother's side she is the only one who has some musical knowledge (she plays a little guitar) and from my father's side de is the only one has some knowledge (plays a little piano). I started too young to be interested in music and initially I said that I will be a singer in the future. After a few years, I discovered my mother's old guitar and soon she taught me some chords. When I realized it, I was being self-taught and learning to play any song. After this phase on my life, I discovered an interest in my father's piano and started playing songs just by listening, but I eventually dropped out of piano studies (currently I bought a keyboard to resume my studies).

    I play two musical instruments, guitar and bass. I started playing guitar when I was seven years old. I have been taking lessons from the same teacher from the start, and I am now very close with her. For me, guitar is just something for me to play by myself when I am stressed or bored. I like to play classical music, and rarely play other types.

    I also play double bass. I started playing when I joined my sixth grade orchestra. I played in the orchestra up through my junior year of high school. I also played in my high school's jazz ensemble, which I personally preferred over orchestra. I don't play in either of these groups anymore, since I've graduated, but I still play the bass.

    I am not very good at playing any musical instrument, but I can sing some songs with my guitar. My husband is way too better than me, and just recently I found out that my son has beaten me up with his guitar skills as well. So I guess I give up on it. Yet, if I have to consider my pen as an instrument, then the songs I write must be something.

    I only play the bass guitar. I'm not good at it, but I'm definitely getting better at playing. It's kind of an uphill struggle for now, but every second spent holding that instrument is so much fun. I see people saying bass is the type of instrument that's easy to pick up but hard to master, and I kind of agree. Even holding a constant rhythm can be hard at times.

    My first instrument was a flute. I loved playing it, but after some months I got bored, so I decided to get a guitar. Here I am, after 6 years, still playing guitar and enjoying it like the first time. I love making fingerstyle aranjaments for any song.
