did you play an instrument growing up

I wanted to learn how to play the violin as a kid.

But since my mum hates the violin she made me learn how to play the piano (her own favourite instrument) instead. I haven't touched a piano since I moved out of my parent's house and likely never will again, but

I bought a violin.

fluet when I was 8 to 10 in a 2 year course but it sucked cause I had a dumb teacher who spend half the time playing games with us and the other half was her scolding the "bad" students by saying we would suck compared to the other kids who were "better" in playing the fluet

Later on in 10th grade I played bass but my teacher pretended I was not giving it all to play cause we had 7 keyboarder and 6 guitarists aswell as 2 drummer but only 1 bass and she actually didn't allowed me to turn up the volume so she never heard me play and so assumed I was not even playing -.- it wss so useless to talk to her saying I was playing but she most likly just can't hear me trought the other instruments and than she said I was a liar

awh, have you been playing the violin?? my cousin plays it, its a really pretty instrument i love it

I'm learning how to play it and have been enjoying it immensely.

I just wish I could've started sooner... but you gotta do as your parents say while living under their roof.

Yes, my mom signed me up for piano when I was little. I played for like a couple of years, and even had recitals. I hated it, so she let me quit. But, now that I am pursuing a career in music, I hate that I did and wish I had kept with it.

I was also forced by my school to join the band in middle school. You could either go into orchestra or band. It was mandatory, and I chose band. I chose the trumpet as my instrument, and I played for the 3 years I was in middle school and never again. It was fun, but I was just too lazy to keep it up.

When I was a teen, my mom bought me a guitar that I asked for to try teach myself. But, again, I was lazy and now that thing is just sitting and collecting dust lol.

thats good!! its never too late, but i understand what you mean. but im glad you're finally able to learn it!!

in band i picked flute bc thats what was pushed on me, but i truly wanted to play trumpet but i was in a position where i couldnt really switch instruments. if id been a trumpet player, id probably have had stayed in band until high school tbh

Aww... Why do people push instruments on kids?

As you say though, it's never too late to learn. You could still give trumpet a try as a hobby!

No

I think it's a cool skill to have,but I'm not sure if I'd be good at it.I'm so clumsy with my hands lol

Guitar lessons for like a decade

vocal lessons throughout high school

piano lessons senior year

And now I teach violin

ye i started playing the harp AT 14 at the conservatory and played it until i was 19

i was gonna decide when i was 20 wether or not i was gonna go pro with it but my harp teacher retired when i was 19 and they had noone else to teach me that so i gave it all up
