Echosoftom 3 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 Back then LA unified schools had a great music program. I tried to play the violin and wasn't good at it. I was however not too bad on the harpsichord. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weird monkey 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 I played clarinet in school band - not because I had any burning desire to play the instrument - but because my family had one and I was expected to participate in band. I got out as soon as I could. On my own I learned piano, but I'm a painter, not a musician. Now that I have a broader knowledge of music generally than I had when I was 13 (which was zero), I have much more respect for different instruments, even the 'dorky' ones (in the eyes of a 13 year old) like the clarinet!

DCAHNM 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 I played flute in concert band (not great, but not poorly either).. I played piano in jazz band (people thought I was pretty good)... I did marching band one year (HATED IT!) and played marimba/xylophone-type percussion instruments (I was okay...again, not great). I sucked at playing cymbals! and in Pep band, I played bass guitar (not too good) one year and electric guitar another (okay, for the occasion).. Was I band nerd or what??!? This one time, at band camp... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Refugee 7 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 Music started for me back in elementary school. We were very fortunate to have such patient teachers. They taught us dance as well. I tried the violin = lousy, clarinet = lousy, flute = we will not discuss, then I went on to learn and play piano = good, accordion = no laughing please, electric piano = good and organ = okay.

Hossman 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 I played the trumpet in school.. They said I had a great tone.. I really wasn't into that much I did it for my Father who was a great player.. When he was in Calif during WW2 he met Harry James and played with his band at some USO clubs before he shipped out .. He met a lot of big stars back then Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pettyjunkie 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 Yeah I played the recorder in elementary school. lol I wish I would have gone out for band at our school. I love ours.

kstapes 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2009 Mark me down for Clarinet as well, in grade school. Once I got to HS I realized that chicks dig guitar players so I wheedled my parents into buying me a Sears "$20-wonder" acoustic guitar and never looked back...
