Hey everybody.

Just wondering the musical diversity of you all. Tell us. I'll start.

I've been playing the violin for 12 years.

I've been playing piano for about 16 years. But I don't really play seriously any more, I spend a lot of time writing stuff with software though. Its fun.

Anybody play the bagpipes out there? If so, bring it to your ski hill and play while you are throwing 3s off of side hits. Instant man of the year.

Never had any formal lessons but Ive been jamming on the piano and guitar for about 10 years (since they came into the house i live in)

I know a few songs, and some scales, just enough to jam with i guess. I wish i wouldve taken lessons though no doubt no that im older.

It is so refreshing to see that so many people play different instruments. The cello has to be be the most beautiful sounding instrument in the world. Too many guitarists out there...

Of course, I also (attempt) to play guitar. I still like it though.

Forgot to ask. Piano people, anybody know any good books for beginners? The school library has a ton of stuff, so they'll probably have something. Or rather, what subject to look up for books. I'm down for anything, theory, whatever I guess. I'm decent at math, I don't know if that's relevant. And I like learning how stuff works, which is why I'm thinking a theory book will be somewhat interesting.

I've played trumpet for 10 yrs and learned how to play the acoustic guitar a year ago but haven't really played much since I learned it. I want to get back into it.

3.

I played classical piano (and took lessons) for about 10-11 years straight until I graduated high school. I also own and can play the saxophone and the baritone horn.
