Nope, one of the disadvantages if not playing any instrument
Ahhhhh the joys of having 0 musical talent/ability

It's quite good to learn music for a bit

I don't play anything any more but I used to play keyboard for a couple of years then I gave that up and started guitar for a year and drums for like 2 months. I now have a keyboard an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar and I don't use any of them :pac: ..Mostly cos of time but it was a great experience.

I'll do it if they accept the triangle.

Oh no! There will be no mentioning of triangles, pentagons or hexagons

Octagon

What about the pentagram?

I play bass, guitar and a bit of basic piano, tried to learn saxophone and cello as classical instruments but the sax reed cut my tongue and the cello made me paranoid that it would explode every time I tried to tune it. And it cost 50 Euro when I broke a string. :eek:

The only thing I can play is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the Tin Whistle and a bit of the drums.

Cello can be plucked. I can do that I think :cool:

I can relate, I broke 2 strings on the school cello when I played it with the school...but a heavenly sound from it

I played the piano and Irish trad flute for my Leaving, and play some guitar too. Then I just dabble in stuff like bass, cello, tuned and untuned percussion whenever the orchestra was stuck and learned Inis Oírr on the concertina - both upside down and the right way up (I'd never seen one in my life) :pac:

Ooh, and ukulele, but everyone plays that these days :P I played it before it was cool #hipster

I played the recorder in primary school if that counts?

So nobody is doing it then? Haha I am grade 8 in violin and am doing it for the craic. I also want to give violin lessons to children in my town but don't know where to get attention

Corvo Attano

Just stand at your local corner and when one passes by go

*pst* Hey kid
Wanna buy some violin lessons?

Okay listen carefully

First of all, you're going to need a white van. Something like this.



Now, write "Free candy" or "Hogwarts Express" on it. Then wait outside schools and parks and get kids to get into the van. You know the rest...demand that they send their kid to your violin lessons before you release them.

Do not try this at home..like I said school or park

Finally, my ride to Hogwarts has arrived, I totally knew the owl must've gotten lost on my 11th birthday.

Corvo Attano

Also, a moustache like this guy would really entice the kids into your van. You should really consider growing one.



Another disclaimer - It may also entice the police into your van.

It? The van or the children? Either way it means the van was afraid due to my prime physique or the children knew I dont play violin.

Peregrine

^^ Sorry, quoted the wrong post. I meant Hugsie's Hogwarts owl

Corvo Attano

Boards is freaking out again. A minute ago your two posts were one and had Hugsies name.
