Do/Did you play musical instruments?

[Kinsao]

I played acoustic guitar since I was... umm... old enough to pick on the strings of my mother's egg-slicer gizmo, hehe. My dad taught me. I didn't get interested in playing electric guitar until I was about 15. The sort of person I am, I can't just watch and listen on things, I have to try it out... so when I got into sorts of music more like metal, rock etc. I have to play, too... I have gap between ages 20 and 23 due to illness now I play again, yay!

I had lessons on flute for 8 years and took the grades and theory, which was helpful for guitar even though I never read music for guitar! Also it was cool because I used to go in for competitions (by myself and as part of groups) which is really fun.

I also sung alto in 4-part choir for a few years and I had singing lessons for 2 years. This was great! but now I can't afford it any more... plus the volume... it's difficult with the neighbours because you can't turn it down of course

Oh, and I play piano as well, only I don't have a piano, only a keyboard... it's ok as keyboards go, but I'd much rather have a piano... but I'm only on number 3 out of my book of 85 classical pieces, so it'll be a long time before either the Albert Hall or Wembley...

eeeeeeee! I love music!

I played Tenor Saxophone for six years. I stopped when I came to college. I also make trance music with FL Studio. That's a lot of fun ^_^. I also make my own "live"-sets using Sony Soundforge. I don't own decks of my own .

Some might argue it is not true music,but I make my groovy, minimal Techno with 'Logic' software on a MAC, and a load of hardware(drum machines, synthesizers, sampler, compressor, FX etc...I can't read music music although I can work out chords and some melodies.
Most of what I make is more about the beats anyway,so this is not an issue.
Maybe it would be nice to learn how to play keyboards properly!

I've also owned my Technics decks for 15 years, so my mixing is pretty good (if I don't say so myself!)

Anyone need a DJ???!!!!!! - Rich 303
