I am gettign way to curious but does anyone paly anything?? And if you do....Tell the story of why you wanted to play it..You don't have too though..... I play violin........ Story: Ok....Only once every few years.ONCE every few years...I just do things for no reason. I have no personal reason for wantign to play Violin. I just wanted to one day. I was in church one Sunday and I saw 2 girls playign violin. It looked cool. So..a few days later I just decide I want to play violin for no reason whatsoever......And that one whim has stuck with me I think that was the only time...I did a thing for no reason and I actually stuck with it!

I play the Violin and the Cello.
I remember about four years ago, my dad told me that Violin was the hardest instrument to play, and that if you could play that and the piano you could play anything. Well, then I went into Fifth grade, and my dad died. The orchestra director from middle school was offering begining lessons. I begged my mom to let me play violin, because I wanted to do it for my dad. I didn't tell her the reason for a long time, but she said yes anyways. I started playing and loved it. I went into sixth grade as an official biginner, and I started wonrking even harder. I wanted to be the best. Well, I met an advanced player that had two instruments. I wanted to play two instruments, so I talked to the director.
She told me that if I could get better at the violin, and be able to play everything we were playing, then I could choose a second instrument. I gave up my lunches to practice. Finally she let me choose another instrument. I chose the cello, though she recomended Viola because it was the most similar to Violin. I started reading up on how to play it, and I started playing. She told me I had the most natural Cello hand she had ever seen. I have been playing cello ever since.

This is the first thing I really stuck with. Believe it or not, when I was in third grade I actually tried ballet, but after third grade I gave it up.

XD I loooove you Lock! Yeah, I would've been ticked if Lock chose the violin also. I play violin. The thought came to me when they were showing off different instruments. XD And the teacher had a mini violin. I think that's why I chose it. I play piano, sort of. I'm working on it. I can play treble line of a few songs, like the Boogie Song and the Phantom of the Opera. And then there;s the alto saxophone. XD Not going so well, and I've had it for a year. But people can figure out what I'm trying to play, so it's not that bad. And... I play the KAZOO! XD It's so easy to hum into that thing.

When I was in the 6th grade before I came to Texas...Everyone was required to paly recorder. And it went into the habit of gettign belts like in karate. So you had to play a song really good then get a belt, play another song and get a belt. I finished and got up to black belt!!!!
( I wish I could paly the Oogie Song and The Phatom of the Opera...But I don't paly piano!)

It takes a long time for me to get songs right when I play piano. I have to stop every few notes to glance down at my fingers and put them in the right positions. DX I wish I was a good piano player, but I'm not.

Understandable. I still have to use those stickies on the cello that show you where to put your fingers. Anyways, I can play the Harry Potter song and part of What's This on piano!
