Played Piano for 11 years now. I really don't know much classical, though... I much prefer rock. :D

I'm inheriting this piano the moment I get a house


Currently, I'm learning Root Beer Rag by Billy Joel.

One of my favourite songs I've learnt a few years ago was Let Me Entertain You by Robbie Williams, which I also sing along to (I've sang for ~5 years now, too).
<youtube=IgXfjOMusUo>Yea, I probably shouldn't've shown a distorted live version, but if you want a cleaner version, then find it yourself. :p

(spoilered, because I imagine a lot of you don't care. :p )">The lighting on my jeans gives it a weird blue/shadow contrast. >_>
That's also my digital piano...

I love how many different ways you can play the piano, the variety of songs you can choose to play on it, etc. If I went back to when I first started playing, and was given the choice of learning a different instrument, or keep along this path of playing the piano, I'd definitely choose the piano again.

I play guitar, like the other 93% of the worlds population xD lol
Faded cherry red Gibson Studio arch-top (so I can use a violin bow like Jonsi in Sigur Ros) with p-90 humbuckers, because we all need that extra punch xD

Oboe, bassoon, piano a bit, 6-hole ocarina, and if I can ever get a hold of one a set of bagpipe. What can I say, I'm eccentric though my proficiency in them has dropped off as of late, nowhere to practice.

I play an Euphonium [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphonium] and I have done for about 5 or 6 years now, and before that I played Baritone Horn for another 4 or so years. I started playing in primary school playing for a junior band and now I'm the second Euphonium (of two >_>) for one of the brass bands in my area.

I've played piano for 15 years, and I played french horn for 6 years, clarinet for 1. I love the piano for its versatility. And french horn because it can be used musically for many things, yet people underestimate it quite often.

Guitar and very minimal keyboard, I want to learn piano but I had to choose keyboard instead , I'd also love to learn to play saxophone but money.

I play guitar at a high level, and Piano at about grade 5.

I play mainly rock, folk and blues on guitar, and romantic-era classical on piano. Mainly Chopin.

Well i first started play the bass guitar when i was 15 because my two best firends at the time were learning to play guitar and drums so i figured i'd learn to play bass and we'd start a band. The whole band thing never happened but i ended up really enjoying playing the bass so i kept at it.

Then a few years later i decided to learn guitar because i figured it would help make me a batter bassist and make it easier to jam with guitarist and im starting to get pretty decent at it.

I can also play a little keyboard but nothing too flashy.

I plan to get a drum set someday so then i'll have the whole package.

Im also a decent singer if you're one of those people that consider the human voice to be an instrument.

I learned to play the piano because that's what my mom forced me to get (and pay for with my own money) almost 20 years ago. I don't regret it though, it's a nice feat to display. People light up when you start playing Linus & Lucy for them.

Picked up the flute because my mom didn't want anything "that sounded unpleasant until I was good at it". It's been almost... 8 years now? I play at the highest Royal Conservatory Levels and play for fun with my university's band, but don't plan on going anywhere with it.

Apart from that I can jam on the piano, guitar and recorder pretty well.

I play keyboard, and although I only have Jazz grade 1 I can play grade 6 pieces. It's weird that the second I can learn and play whatever song I want instead of being told what to play I just completely stop playing it.
Also, during my study leave I'm hoping to take up flute or violin. According to my mother (who has grade 8 piano) everything else is pretty easy after the piano.

Sax is probably the instrument that I'm best at (judging by my profile pic, anyway...) but I also play piano (with a bit of organ) and guitar. Plus I'm getting a bass soon, I can kind of play already but it will be nice to have one of my own.

I do too much music...
