Piano here and another who was going to go study at the conservatorium of music but had DD instead. I must admit I didn't enjoy playing at all but I was made to play by my mother. My DD has been playing piano for 6months. I didn't want her to play but she nagged me so much eventually I gave in. I think she only wanted to play because I do.

Violin but haven't picked it up in months

I want to - just lack the time!

Another flute player...played from 10 until just before I had dd, so 15 years. I want to keep it up but can't afford lessons and feel a bit stagnant (I have only played classical music).

I would love to play piano, but don't have a keyboard. My whole family are musical and dh's family are too...dh is the least inclined to play an instrument but learnt trumpet and piano as a child.

Em I would LOVE to play French horn!!

You should! I haven't played for quite a few years so I'd be a bit rusty I imagine, and the valves are broken in my french horn and I'm guessing they'll be expensive to replace. I stopped playing french horn in year 10 at school and played flute instead because at the time I was the only one playing french horn and I hated the pressure put on me plus the music teacher kept putting solo's in band pieces for me!

Not me personally (I danced) Hubby plays piano and is in a Big Band. he can also play Guitar, Sax and Drums. DD has been brought up with him playing and we listen to a lot of Jazz. If that influences her great if not so be it ... she'll prolly be a sporty girl rather than an arts girl

Tenor sax here. Year seven I was given the trumpet after I fluked a sound and then never made another, so I went on to clarinet and then to the sax. I love the sax. Went to band camp too, and was the best! I even won the highest award for music that was offered at my school (yeah, brag moment there!!!!!). But sadly, we couldn't afford my own, so the hire of it came to an end when I finished school.

So a couple of years back I went and bought an alto sax.....and was so bad and rusty at playing it that I was too embarrassed to play it when anyone was around, therefore it didn't get used. I sold it last year.

I play DH's wallet! It makes a lovely 'ch-ching' sound when there are nice shoes on sale!!!! hahahaah

In all seriousness, no, is my answer. I'm in awe of people playing an instrument. It's like people who know another language to me. Best of luck with it!! Sounds awesome!

I play the tenor and descant recorders although they haven't come out since DS appeared outside, and I sing - both DH and I are in the same church band so it makes it a little hard to run around chasing DS while practising. DH plays the drums and DS is obsessed (or very nearly) with DH's drumsticks. DH can't play/practise drums at church easily as DS has to get in on the action as well

We figure DS is a drummer in training (at 19mths) as he can sort of keep a reasonable beat and has even managed to drum with crossed arms/sticks. We inflicted ourselves with a toy wooden drum for Christmas and he's just scored a second hand drum set toy thing with 2 drumsticks of his own - DH doesn't have to hide his drumsticks anymore, although DS has mangled and broken off the rods in DH's wooden multirod sticks (he has a set of nylon multirods).
