Some people say that musical people are more likely to be creative people.

Does anyone here play a musical instrument?

Yes, I play a brass instrument, B flat trumpet in my local jazz orchastra. Last sunday we had a gig at the mayor's house for the 4th time. Once every year.

Though I don't agree on the assumption that musical people are more likely to be creative.

i play the piano have been for 4 years

i play the piano but don't have a level.
I don't know if it is true though.

ive been told that it does normally follow the arts and music. when i was at aardmans we had that conversation and like me the ones that i spoke to also played the drums and the guitar the same as me, in one of my lunch breaks i picked up one of the guys guitars and had a play. it was really cool that we shared other interests apart from just modelmaking

Wow! Are you in a band?

I play the piano grade 4 and bassoon grade 4. I go to a course every term holiday (easter winter summer) that lasts four days. Ive just finished my summer course on Tuesday. How was your course Conty?

fantastic!!! the band im in is called oxymoron. i play rythem guitar, ive done a journal on my deviantart account

how did your music course go?

i play diatonic harmonica =) in a band. I can also play alto saxophone, and guitar grade 6.

My music course went fine thanks. The course I go to is a wind band and I played my bassoon. Its called 'Third Band'.

What did you do on your course?

Wow animation boy! I have a diatonic harmonica in my house but i cant play it .

I think it's definitely more likely that artistic people also play instruments - I suppose if you're an arty person you like to have as many creative outlets as possible. It's amazing to hear the range of instruments you guys play! I'm learning guitar, but its going very slowly for an oldie like me!

So does that mean that creative people want to do better and better in all sorts of things?

I play an Alto & Tenor Saxophone and have joined a Saxophone ensemble this year at a localish music college (http://www.humsa.org.uk/)as I heard they needed a Tenor player, I've also been taking singing lessons!! all good fun stuff.

Oldie Katie!! I can't imagine you as an oldie, I class my self as a bit of an oldie so to speak, but we have an old boy playing Baritone Sax in our group and he's 87yrs!!

On this website we are all one age (young at heart)

hi cavor how are you? havent seen you around for a while. singing eh? you kept that one quiet, i had singing lessons and i really enjoyed it, your right it was good fun!!!

katie your not an oldie but i hope you keep at it, i find it relaxing

what stopped you having singing lessons?

my voice was breaking!!! not a great sound!!!

oh is that why the window was broken in music...
Only joking.
well at least it doesn't stop you from playing the guitar.

my voice is ok now, or at least untill i get those braces as squigly has just reminded me

My friend has braces it does restrain her a little but she still sing pretty well.

hi i play Lead guitar (Electric) and the drums i have been playing the guitar for about 5 years now and i have been playing drums for about 1 year

oh yeah i have a band called Resurrection

My friend plays the trombone and she just got braces and she needs to put wax on them before she can play because it would hurt her mouth so much. It stopped her from doing her grade 5 .

an 87 year old playing baritone. He must have some strong lungs!!

lol

I am a pianist and I currently attend Chetham's School of Music in Manchester

i play the radio dose that work

I played bassoon too, Chocachoc! I also played flute and piano. I've also sung in choirs and in a madrigal group. I'm not terribly good at it, but I enjoy music very much!

I play Guitar. My bro plays guitar and saxophone and my sister plays piano and flute. We're quite an artistic and musical family.

I think i'm about the only one to play an instrument in my family really. My sister has a guitar and a violin that she used to play and hasn't touched it for years.

Wow, there are loads of musicians!

Wow fish! Another bassoonist! What grade are/were you?

i play guitar and drums

Hi all
Sorry to hear you broke your voice conty, but glad to hear you got it mended, Yes animation boy our 87year old Baritone player has got good lungs for his age but he does sit down to play his instrument, I don't blame him as I find my Tenor Sax heavy enough and thats much lighter than his Sax

Chocachoc, I played bassoon in high school and college. I have the distinction of being one of the few people on the planet to participate in a marching band whilst tooting away on a bassoon! We were short on trombones and tubas that year...it was the bandmaster's idea. Happily he moved me to piccolo when we marched the following year!

I play the keyboard and i am on grade 3

you play tenor? great sounding instrument. Out of sax's i prefer the tenor or soprano. The tenor for nice jazzy deep riffs, and soprano for high pitched solos.

if anyones interested in blues: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjPezeHN9Hc
