I've got to go back there on Thursday so I'll pick them up then. :mrgreen: I'm ready to be in the band. I'll have to practice now as I'm driving my scooter down main street next week.

I play piano. Want to learn guitar but being left-handed is a bit of a hindrance since I need someone to teach me who is also left-handed. Though if certain musicians can play left-handed (-cough the one in my avatar cough-) then I can too.

I play the piano and was forced by the parentals to play violin :twisted:

I still know my notes and can play a little but regret now that I quit playing the piano... I think that I could of been really good.

I haven't had any previous students approach me and say how they were glad they quit playing the piano, but I have had several who tell me how they wished they had stuck it out a little while longer...

ya... I wish that I stayed with the piano longer. I quit playing when I went into highschool and started when I was 5 years old. Its a horrible thing when I sit down at the piano now and forget how to play all the wonderful classical pieces that I learned. Oh if I can turn back time now...

If you stuck with it that long you shouldn't have any problem getting it back. It would just take some time and dedication...and practice :mrgreen:

My upstairs neighbor plays the electric guitar, not very well, almost every night!

ya... that is true :)

I would just have to buy another piano. When my parents sold our house we didnt take the pianos with us. They were too big and heavy.

I suppose I could self teach and practice again by myself but not sure if I have the dedication and time in myself to do it. That is something I am going to think about though. I would like to play again

Ok my fellow musicians...does anyone use ear monitors for playing? I am curious if anyone has any that they are willing to share a review for...there are so many choices and I am trying to narrow them down.

I've never used ear monitors, but I played the Saxophone for 6 Years and the Keyboard for a few years.

I got a A in rock music last quarter, does that count? I had to analyze music from the early rock years. That's as musical as I want to get these days.

When you say analyze rock music, what did you have to do?
