Anybody Teach Themselves How to Play an Instrument

[Silver Surfer]

Yep,

I played from 6th grade to my junior year in college (scholarship) was a screamer an all that...loved it. Ain't nothing like it. Gave it to my lil nephew so he could possibly earn a scholarship with it as well.

I miss my trumpet

I still got mine...Bach Omega I bought from a whiteboy childhood friend....more than 10 years ago...I think I will teach my nephews how to play it and go from there

Takes a lot discipline to teach yourself, I rather take a class

I consider my cock an instrument...does that count?

No.

No but i need to. I honestly believe i would be a hell of a piano player if i had the proper training. I actually can play some parts of song by ear but couldnt tell you the name of the notes off the top. I have a keyboard and guitar right by me but i have no motivation or drive to want to play them though i want to and SHOULD. I do know what sharps and flats are. I dont know how to read the music or what the notation is. Ive been VERY LAZY though. Still learning how to play the guitar. That one i need to keep practicing and actually doing. I'M LAZY AS fukk. I do want to make my own music instead of replaying or trying to copy someone elses sound. I want to work my artistry and build my own creative iq where i can look back at my work and be surprised like "i made that?" . I should be making music and art instead of being forced into a damn job place.

Piano because I wanted to play wind parade by Donald Byrd to impress a bytch

i learn every instrument i can... to varying levels of success. i picked up a flute and a clarinet the past couple of years but i havent really put too much effort into learning them. theyre loud as hell and i live in an apartment. im trying to learn the boehm system but my memory isnt quite what it used to be. stringed instruments and anything that works chromatically isnt too difficult for me, but ive never been able to make a proper embouchre so trumpet/cornet/trombone are out, sadly

 

[xCivicx]

Yes

I'm classically trained in 5+ instruments and I taught myself 2. Those were/are guitar and SOME piano

I keep drifing in and out with this guitar, but I bought lessons that I have to use, and always go to some show that makes me wanna get back at it, meh

I sold my guitar a few years ago, just never got around to playing.

That said my kid has a mini baby grand, I’ll get him lessons across a few instruments and see what he likes. Might pick up something myself. I sing though.
