Drums- have played them for the past 7 years, but haven't really played for the past 2 years, so I'm pretty shitty now
Piano-just started last summer, so fun
I can also play a little bit of guitar, haven't really made much of an effort to learn

I pretty much just stick to drumming. Mostly just the kit or my djembes. I used to play the guitar but stopped for a while. Getting back into it a little bit. Play the bass here and there.

Guitar- About 5 or 6 years now
Trumpet- Played for 5 years in school
Piano- Self taught play a little
Ukulele- Just got it for Christmas and I am teaching myself and it's pretty fun

I can pick up instruments and generally learn the basics pretty quick but I don't practice enough to get really good which is unfortunate.

yeah man. i generally like to learn the instrumental part of the song first, and practice until i can play along perfectly, then i look up the lyrics and practice those until they're perfect, then eventually mesh the two together and get a good feel for the song. it takes me about a week to play and sing a new song near flawless if i really try.

Piano: 5 years, then off and on for the last 4 or so

Upright/Electric Jazz Bass: currently playing in 2 combos and a repertiory band at my high school

Tenor/Bari Saxaphone: about 5 years in school band and some alto in jazz bands

Guitar/Uke: just fooling around, nothing major

It's always a good thing to have under your belt... plus the bitches love when you can just sit down at a piano and throw some shit down

yeah man looks like you're doing more conservatory style. i've auditioned at ithaca and temple and my nyu audition is coming up pretty soon so not sure where i'm going to go yet.  Temple has this cool program thats a music ed degree with a component in jazz studies which I thought was pretty sick.  My friend goes to juilliard also, it sounds sweet
