Poll: Musicians

[InvisibleSeal]

I felt like making another poll, so I searched again and found nothing really related to this:

Do you have any musical ability?
I've separated singing and playing an instrument, since for a few people, playing a musical instrument could be related to hhether their parents buy them one or something?? I Really don't know to be honest but it seems an okay idea.

Personally, I sing and play the flute.

EDIT:
Just to help discussion and stuff:

Did you have proper tuition or learn by yourself?
Are you in a band or anything?

 

[Radeonx]

Yes. I can play the piano and the guitar fairly well.

 

[madcap2112]

I play guitar and bass and I can sing (sorta).

 

[D_987]

I play 3 different instruments to at least a reasonable standard:

Drums, guitar, piano - yes I do sing.

 

[TheLastCylon]

Trombone FTW!

[small]That was the dumbest thing I've said today[/small]

 

[RavingPenguin]

I have an ear for mixing (DJ stuffs) although I rarely get a chance to do so. Beyond that I am musically incompetent.

 

[TheSunshineHobo]

I can play Bass and I sing. I also play every instrument. I didn't say I play them well.

Aww no that was... um... cool? *cough* I think in this topic it's fine!

I think that counts, I can never tell what things will sound good together - my ex "djed" and it looked really difficult.

 

[ZomgSharkz]

Clarinet and Bassoon.

 

[TheDanimal]

I can play the guitar, banjo, and piano (though the piano I suck at) as well as sing. I am a performing musician, and hope to take up flute sometime soon as well.

Well I just got to mess with a set of turn-tables that were a freinds for a few minutes, till he caught me recording it. He actually told me it was pretty good, a little rough, but good. Im kind of proud of that fact since I had never done it before. Now he lets me mess with it every now and again.

 

[Heart of Darkness]

I chose "lots of instruments" because I'm a percussionist. EVERYTHING tangible is a percussion instrument.

 

[Mongodyr]

I can play guitar and bass pretty good. I CAN drum, but I'm by no means good at it.

I'm gonna edit the OP to ask a couple more questions, just to help discussion and stuff:
Did you have proper tuition or learn by yourself?
Are you in a band or anything?

Well that counts as an instrument I think, especially if you are putting effort into it and practicing. I mean djs perform as well so maybe... I'm not sure if other musicians will hate me for this or not, but it requires just as much talent.

 

[WinkyTheGreat]

I can sing fairly well and play trumpet. Currently working on learning bagpipes.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Trombone FTW!

[small]That was the dumbest thing I've said today[/small]

That's the best instrument ever. It has been called the voice of God.

I play trombone and guitar. By that, I mean I know how to read music for those instruments. I also can play a bit of keyboards, bass, and drums. I can make a one man ska band if I wanted to.

 

[Casbahthegrey]

I wish i was remotely musical, alas I am not. I love music, it is my god, the ominash, god emperor, Cthulu, Ceaser at the height of Rome's power, Valve. It is omniscient and omnipresent yet still does not judge my myriad flaws, faults and general suck buttness.

I love it yet I cannot make it, maybe I should purchase a looping and sampling program so I can pretend to.

Dude, you sole my reasoning for my choice... (Just kidding)

I'm a percussionist as well. I do band in my high school, can't play drum set yet. I'm also looking to learn guitar and bass within the next year.

I can't play set, either...my HS band director said he was gonna teach us, but that (predictably) didn't happen, and I've graduated. I also want to learn how to play piano and viola.
