This thread is for all who are wanting to learn a new instrument and need motivation to keep at it. Let us know what instrument you wanna learn and what kind of music you like;D


I'm going to learn the guitar over the summer. I did buy one a long time ago, but I lost interest. Now, I watched K-On! A new anime involving catchy music and of course, I wanted to pick up the instrument again. If you like anime, watch K-On. Just the intro or ending song will make you want to learn an instrument so you can play it.;D

I play piano and compose my own music. Sadly, I have yet to find a serious "rock"/garage band that would let me join. :sadshoe: *sigh* Everyone seems to beg for guitarists and drummers, but not pianists...

I would loooove to learn guitar, but the only one I have is my dad's, which is way too big for me, and unless I was ultra-serious about learning it, I won't be getting one... :payne:

I can't compose music...

But it always sounds terrible.
I play the flute and piano and hope to take up the violin later in my life.

The violin apparently.....

I'm yet to have a single lesson as everytime I'm due for one something gets in the way. It's probably fates way of saying "don't even think about it, you'll be shit" but ... I really wanna learn it!!

I've played piano since I was six years old. I've been through the phases of 'Ugh I just can't be bothered any more' but once you get to a decent standard where you can sight read pop songs and learn really nice pieces, you get the extra enthusiasm for it.

I used to play Piano, but I've forgotten it all now. I used to be able to play the Rugrats theme tune, but that was easy. I never could play with both hands at the same time, I could only play either the left hand or right hand only.
I was handed down a bass guitar from my sister, but I gave up on it in record time.

If I ever get around to getting one, I'd like to learn how to play the Harmonica. They're not expensive, right?

A friend of mine is learning to play the Accordion for a project.

*pats* Piano is so underrated nowadays. Hope you find a band, Cae, good luck. ^_^

Me and my friends practise our skills together. One of my friends play keyboard, the other guitar, and I sing. We are awesome~ I can play guitar fairly well, but my friend is amazing at it. o.o

Seriously, check out Songbird Ocarinas. That's where I got mine and it's amazing. They have five-hole, six-hole, I think they've got a few higher ones than that. But they're really great. Can't say that I much like their site design, it was better before, but...

I actually play five instruments. Trumpet is my main, I play it in the marching band. But I also play ocarina, fife, tin whistle, and mandolin.

I really want to learn guitar though, but I can't afford one.

Hmmm... I know how to play piano and guitar. But I can't play them. At all. (You honestly expect me to coordinate two hands?)

However, I am actually good at the flute :P I can also play piccolo, but it's the exact same instrument so I don't really count it.


...And I'm being forced to learn the alto sax. I just want to keep the flute!!! (Clasical > Jazz. I don't care about improv; that's what cadenzas are for! ...Plus I'm too lazy to memorize the blues scale. Oh, and REEDS T_T)

I soooo wish I could play piano. I had lessons at school but I only went to them to escape maths.

My 14 year old cousin can play piano and trombone and is teaching himself to play guitar. He's so clever and I'm very jealous haha

My dad taught himself to play guitar and bass guitar so I'm hoping that I've inherited some sort of musical gene for stringed instruments when I finally get round to violin lessons xP haha I'm such a retard.

I used to play flute but I quit that.

Currently I play keyboard but I'm not all that good at it as I can only really play right handed. (I can do both hands for only one song - clocks) I mostly try to learn videogame tunes by ear and stuff.

Awesome all!

Any specific reasons why you may have quit or started an instrument?



My motivation emanates from my love of anime music. After watching K-On and many other animes, I felt compelled to pick up my guitar again and actually learn it this time.

I am hoping to create a band that plays popular anime songs once I learn the guitar, but the problem is everyone here in Canada does not appreciate japanese music. My only other option is internet jamming....

...flute needs two hands as well.
And you have to remember all those fingerings, especially when you get to the higher notes.
On the piano, all you have to do is press the keys, albeit the two hands.

Oh, and I play piano for the VG music. Because they don't do a lot of sheet music for other instruments.

Flute needs nine fingers. Much simpler.

(I can actually play piano with one hand pretty well, and do single notes on the guitar all right. I suck at chords... which is kinda why I dropped guitar =\ )

Go for the trombone. Only needs one hand and a mouth, is a great instrument, can play pretty much any music style, and there's a huge shortage of them.

Hmm... that's a good suggestion, but 2 personal things wrong with it:
1) I played trumpet for a week a while ago. I do not like brass embrouchre =\
2) I'm not planning on becoming a professional musician, so I don't really care if there's a shortage. If I were to pick an instrument because there's a shortage, I would choose the contrabass flute oboe or bassoon.

I play flute and piccolo and I can sorta play fife. Well, I guess to say that I can play anything is misleading, since I haven't been in a band or seriously practiced in six years, I just like to keep up with the flute for cosplay purposes.

When I was a senior, my high school symphony band played at Carnegie Hall, so that was pretty nifty.

I've been playing the piano for the past two years and I've started to get more into it since I can actually play songs from my favorite video games and animes. Occasionally, I take that music and transcribe it for my dear clarinet (Clary~) which I have been playing for five years in wind ensemble (at both my middle school and high school). I can play a bit of sax but I haven't really picked it up and I can do a few songs on the acoustic guitar... but I fail at chords.

I'm sad because I'm quitting band this year. Well, it is of my own account, but it's because all the attention is geared toward the marching band kids (I hate physical exercise :P) and if you're not one of them, you don't matter or deserve to learn anything new. I decided to quit, though I might enter a band when I get to college. I just know that I'm eventually gonna get too lazy to practice my scales and such on my clarinet... I love band, but I despise my teacher and I can only put up with so much lack of organization and attention. [/meaningless rant]

It's a fantasy of mine to go pro on the clarinet... *squidwardsnort*

My interest in the violin came from talking to hime (she's around here somewhere =P), I always loved the sound of it anyway and I wanted a hobby. I'd prefer the piano but I sucked so badly at it last time I tried that I don't wanna waste my time trying again.

First violin lesson on Monday... finally. I'm shitting bricks though lol

I play alto saxophone right now, but I'm gonna switch to tenor saxophone (My band teacher said there was only one space in advanced band as an alto, and there's already someone better than me. But he said I would probably be a good tenor saxophone player in the advanced band, so, yeah) I've also been playing piano for 7 years.

I wanna play soprano saxophone.

I've been playing guitar for about three years, and am also considering taking up a new instrument, possibly either keyboard or bass. Drums also look fun, too, though I fear about the prices.

Though now, I feel like taking my talent to the public, and playing guitar out there. So I'm looking at that, possibly.

Thanks, sis. :edgy: Yeah, I hope so too.
A friend of mine has written a bunch of lyrics for songs, and she's thinking of giving me the job of trying to write an accompaniment for it. :will: ((she also has connections to a recording place... hm... lol)) So hopefully I can do some stuff with that, too.

Have any pianists attempted playing with another person? (like Heart and Soul?) It's actually a ton of fun if you know someone who's good at improving music and one person chooses "bass" and another chooses the "melody". It's oodles of fun :edgy: I play bass because my friend, who does melody, feels more comfortable at it. Bass can be tedious, because you're really just playing the same thing over and over, but you get to control the direction of the song. ^.^

I started piano because at my elementary school, if you could play the piano, you were totally "amazing" or something. So I begged my mom for lessons when I was 8, which was old at that time, and haven't stopped! I love playing video game and pop music (♥~Vanessa Carlton). I'm attempting to play some FF X and X-2 and some Chrono Cross.

I've also developed a chord pattern that sounds very pop-esque. It's actually quite simple, and I'm sure others have figured it out :edgy: My made-up songs sound very poppish right now, and I'm trying to develop a New Age style (my favorite XD)

My band was invited to play Carnegie Hall, but we couldn't afford it. So...

And I may need to discuss the recording thing with you. I'm working on a story involving rock stars and I need to make sure I get it right.

Our band has finally come together. We've got a keyboardist, bassist, guitarist, and drummer. We started learning our instruments last week, and our goal is to play Supertramp's Goodbye Stranger at our summer camp talent night, which is just a month and a half away...

We are getting lessons though, so I know it'll work out!
