I know how 2 play organ, i enjoy it so much with the keyboard, but seldom play now. My 'relationship' with organ is quite interesting, when i was 3 y/o, my aunt brought me to a musical school, there were a lot of musical instrument there, especially piano, and my aunt asked me what do u want to learn? i walked towards a yamaha organ and told my aunt: i want to learn this ^_^ that time i felt that organ is more fun. ^_^ just wanna know what musical instrument that u play? or what musical instrument that u want to learn? me myself, i long for learning Harp, i found it quite unique... how abt u?

I play the clarinet, and i think ill continue doing that, since it has many different styles, and right now, im reaching the point where i dont so much need to learn new techniques, but improve on my old ones. I find that however moody i might be when i start playing, after 20 minutes or so, ill be happy again. [buwald]
yeah, it's true, when u r moody, the music will make u happier ^_^ [cottonm]
Hi cottonm. The harp is a very nice instrument to play which produces a sound of a dream.:) It is a beautiful sound that makes you feel like you're walking on air. They said the strings are like that of a piano. I also would love to learn how to play the harp. I know how to play the piano, have studied classical music but never reached even third grade because i opted to play pop music in oido. But the first instrument i learned how to play was the guitar. I was 12 when i started playing the guitar. Then later on, the recorder. It's pretty much like a flute, but it's easier and much simple to learn. I hope you will learn how to play harp and perhaps one day, record your play and let us hear it here. Good luck! [pinkytabor]
hahha, i also hope to learn it, will try 2 look for music school that teach harp, kinda hard 2 find in Malaysia tho...when i manage it, i will record it down for sharing ^_^ keep on your guitar, or piano or recorder, u can teach your own kids too, it will b fun ^_^ Happy mylotting ^_^ [cottonm]
Two musical "instruments" that I play very well are the "Radio" and the "CD Player". Sorry, I couldn't pass up that joke. I played the Clarinet in elementary school. I hated it! I wanted to learn the flute, but they didn't need anyone for that instrument, so I got stuck with the clarinet. I learned how to play the flute on my own after I bought a used flute in a music shop. I also taught myself how to play a guitar, which wasn't easy since I'm left-handed. I first learned on a right-handed guitar and learned all the chords backwards, having to use my thumb for some of them! Once I got smarter, I switched the strings around and learned how to play the chords properly. I've also taught myself how to play the keyboard, although I haven't spent as much time on that as I have the other instruments. I'd like to resume that one day and get a little better than "Chopsticks" and "On Top of Old Smokey". lol [mentalward]
hahhahah, a good joke ^_^ on my hand, the 'instruments' i played very well r 'MP3' & 'CD player' too, hahhahah... keep on with the flute, guitar, and keyboard...it's good 2 know how to play them, even though is just a little ^_^ i guess i need 2 catch up/improve my technique in playing organ b4 i go for the harp ^_^ Happy 'playing' ^_^ [cottonm]
I play the guitar, though it's been quite a while since I've held one. I guess it's like riding a bicycle, you never forget how to do it. I learned it on my own as a kid, on songbooks and a guitar chord guide. [NonaSaile]
I play the piano or keyboard and the guitar, too. My mother has always wanted me to be highly engaged i music and i also love it so i started informal piano lessons when i was 6? i was taught by a deaconess in our church then we transferred houses. i got my own keyboard when i was 11 or 12 then i started formal training i think a year after. i have performed in piano recitals twice as conducted by the music school i enrolled in. i did not finish my piano lessons so the pieces that i can play only reached up to those for grade2 students, though i think my level is only upto grade 1. as for the guitar i learned it when i was 9? i just bought this DIY guitar lessons mini book then i did self study. My dad spends some time if he has to teach me some tricks. i don't have any formal training. as of today i think i only know some basic strumming and plucking. the other instrument that i wanted to learn to play is the violin. it seems to produce very soothing and surreal music =) [lalapuff]
a long, long time ago i played the piano, the clarinet & the sax. didn't keep it up. wish now i had. [ANTIQUELADY]
i can play the piano. i wish i know how to play guitar and drums though! [kevsgirlalways]
I can play Guitar........... desk :). I think i can sing better than playing any instrument, but i want to learn playing Guitar, flute. lack of time and i think dedication defers me from learning these instruments. [amit_joamon]
singing, yeah, i love singing tooo, our mouth is one of the interesting 'instrument' too ^_^ [cottonm]
..i really enjoy ....playing flute....and playing xylophone.....the musics on those instruments..have a better harmony than those i've heard...it's very relaxing..and very comfortable in the body....you can feel the proper circulation of your blood...and you can think well.....tha's why i really enjoy playing those instruments.... [blackhole_09]
One of my things is song-writing and have played some piano and rhythem and bass guitar although only for that purpose. Sadly, because of arthritus, i cannot play properly now but still write. I type with my forefinger only. Yes i think you should learn the harp. It can produce lovely soothing sounds. [islander7]
Friend, you have many interesting talents. Both the organ and the harp seem challenging to me. I used to play the flute, I have also had some piano lessons, but mostly I do not play any instrument. My daughter plays piano, marimba, cello, guitar, and started to teach herself violin. [GardenGerty]
your daughter is brilliant ^_^ she have many talents too ^_^ happy mylotting ^_^ [cottonm]
I can play the fute and the drums. I don't play much now that I am out of school though. [barbiegirl13]
I play piano, organ, clarinet, accordian, guitar and the radio. My profession is music. And I also play the vocal chords, but lately they need a little tuning. LOL Have a good day, cottonm [singout]

I played the keyboard up to grade six, but I stopped playing about four years ago and would need a lot of practice to get into it again! rolleyes I'm planning on teaching myself to play the guitar - I started a discussion about it the other day to get some advice and got alot of good responses, so it's a start! [louise99]
coolz....keep it on ^_^ happy mylotting [cottonm]
i know how to play the organ, too! =) i took around a year of home lessons until my mentor died. but then i never stopped learning on my own. if given a chance, i would love to learn how to play the piano. [jemalynjoy]
well i played classical guitar & accoustic as well..love them n i like to play along with the song.. one of the intrument that i would like to play is the drums... i think drummers are important in every bank as they are back bones of every band.... [sk777sk]
i am wanting to buy a flute ( i played it in school) and i want to learn again. the harp would be a cool thing to learn too. [oliveriogirl]
flute is nice ^_^ yeah, harp is cool, but hard to learn it in malaysia, coz not too popular...thankz for d response, happy mylotting [cottonm]
I learned to play the piano when I was a little girl. I'm not very enthusiastic about it but I can still play passable tunes now. My husband taught me to play some guitar. When my son took up violin lessons, I bought a bigger one for me so I also know how to play that. Because I'm an avid Corrs fan, the best musical instrument that I can play really well is the Irish whistle or what some call penny/tinwhistle courtesy of Andrea Corr's inspiration. It's so easy to play them and I mostly learned by watching videos of Corrs concerts, following chords from websites and jamming with fellow Corrs fans. [writermom8]
I LOVE TO PLAY GUITAR ,DRUMS AND TABLA .MOREOVER i also love to play mouth organ to the extent others would play to listen to an extent of hanging here and there in m the air.However life has to be rule out if there any issues out there be on hanging on from my heart. [harsha04]
I don't know how to play any musical instrument. I never had the chance to learn how to play any... I don't know what I'd like to play... maybe the guitar. [stvasile]
guitar is a good choice ^_^ hope u will hav the chance to learn it soon ^_^ [cottonm]
I play the guitar it is really fun once you get to know everything i also love the guitar since i play it in my band, the other instruments i know how to play are drums, bass guitar, harp, and this weird instrument that i cant remember the name, all these instruments are fun to learn and play, and im also thinking about learning the piano. [BlinkMe64]
I play drum, i have a band with friends and i love it. I also love other instruments like saxo or piano that i would love to play. [Jul14nch0]
I don't play any musical instrument. [notlistening2]
I sing, play the cowbell ("I have a fever, and the only cure is MORE COWBELL!"- Christopher Walken), and I used to play a little bass on the keyboard. [rogue13xmen13]
Used to play the guitar and the recorder when i was at school but easily became bored of them. Just lately ive really wanted to learn the Piano after listening to some of Ryuchi Sakamotos tracks. [Classkeeper]
The piano or keyboards, and the guitar. Although I haven't had any keys to play in a long time. I do have 2 guitars that my grandfather passed down to me years ago. [moondancer]
Yes, I found this out when a friend of mine that use to play years ago, in the 70's. He's a rock n roller from back when. I brought out my grandpas oldest guitar for him to play and he went crazy over it and offered me $1500. for it right then. I told him no, it was my grandpas and it was going nowhere. He now borrows it alot and wants me to bring it over just about everytime I go over to his house. he's funny. He has tons of equipment, but wants to use my grandpas guitar. They will be passed down to my grandchildren that are interested in music. [moondancer]
Ive been playing the piano since i was 7, and i started playing guitar when i was 12. I love both instruments, and i wish i could play the violin or the harp which are other beautiful instruments as well.. [lostfan01]
I play guitar. In fact I am a hardcore music lover. And nowadays I am learning to play drums. [shummy]
I don't know how to play any instrument right now. But I have always wanted to learn to play the organ. It looks like a lot of fun. I agree that harp would be fun to play too. I have always wanted to play an instrument, but my family never had any money to get me any type of instrument or lessons. [_sketch_]
I can play a few musical instruments, but I play the guitar better than any other instrument that I can play...I've been playing for about 12 years now and am a guitar teacher for a private school where I'm from...I can also play the drums, although it's been quite a while since the last time I played, so I'm probably not quite as good as I used to be...I can say the same for the piano...For a while I was playing it on a regular basis, but I can't remember the last time I sat down to play... The next instrument I'd like to buy would have to be a violin...An electric violin would be prefered, I just love the sound you can get out of it... -Mike [MementoMori]
yeah, violin is cool ^_^ [cottonm]
i play basics on guitar and i love it. i also play simple ones on keyboard. [kayeshayne21]
I learned how to play the saxophone and flute a few years ago. I play the saxophone more than I play the flute. I had lessons for a few months with other students, but it got expensive, so I wasn't able to continue. I still play on my own in my spare time, but I enjoy playing when there are others playing along with me. I would like to learn to play the piano. First, I have to save up for one and find a place to put it. [Erin88]
saxaphone, remind me of Kenny G...so romantic and so lovely ^_^ [cottonm]
i used to play organ when i was a kid, then i also played guitar & drums just recently. my cousin taught me how to play a guitar, i just played the chorus part of greenday's WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS & a tagalog song which is JEEPNEY by spongecola. i didn't manage to finish all the songs just the chorus lol i used to play drums too, at first i thought it's easy, but i was wrong hehehe.. [jinxky]
i know how to play the piano, but cannot call myself an expert. since playing the piano is not my first love, i wanted to learn other cool instruments too like violin, drums and guitar...=) [gracie04]
when i was 6 years old. my aunt bring drums set in our house.. i love using it,,, until now im using it in our church to praise God,, [WinZton_12]
i just know how to play the guitar, my wife can play violin, and my mother in can play harmonica, and i want to learn more about violin i like the sound from violin so romantic i think. [bugbaby]
I can play the guitar, the bass guitar, the keyboard and the drums. I learned these things while watching the band play in out church. For my entire teenage years, I was just watching them and fortunately, I learned the four instruments. [jaypeemanuel]
i play the piano i ddnt took any lessons but i think im kinda good i cant read music but i can play it :P! [moAnimation]
It's nice to hear that from you. Maybe you are a music genius or something. Only a few people can do what you have done. [kaguvkov]
Hi, well me, I only play Flute.. hehe, well not that popular, unlike guitars and pianos.. Me, I want to learn how to play organ, I think it is so cool. And when gurls see playing organ or piano, they think that your cool. Hehe, so I want to learn that. Hehe, wish that I could learn. [deathvans]
I play the Guitar (like everyone else), the Bass guitar and the drums. I think those are the types of instruments that are on demand these days (including the piano). I learned those from playing in the band while simultaneously having to switch instruments and being a sessionist. But my favorite of the three is the drums. It really kicks your athletic self out of you considering the beats you have to make to stay with the pace. Plus the sound of "rollings" would make me sound like a pro even though I'm not. Haha. And the movement you have to do is enjoying and it gives you a sense of controlling the pace of the music. Over all rating for me is 50% on drumming and both 25% on the bass guitar and the guitar. Cool topic. :) [robsandoval]
drum is cool, happy playing it.... [cottonm]
I know how to play guitar. It was my first obsession way back when I was still in High School. It was a very great experience when learning how to play such an instrument especially when my fingers turn to thick scab because of daily strumming and plucking of the strings. Anyway, I have done it already and I'm planning to play another instrument soon. Maybe an organ or a piano. [kaguvkov]
WHile i was young, i used to play recorder.. lol =D Becasue it was compulsory in my primary school that everybody must learn and so i'm forced to learn.. hehe.. I must say that i'm a music idiot as i cant never blow the right tune and it's noise coming out from my recorder and not music or even tune..lol I have tried to learn guitar too, but because i'm a lefty, so it's a bit hard for me to do so and everything for lefty are so expensive.. hehe [kun2349]
Nothing is impossible ^_^ like what u say ^_^ happy mylotting [cottonm]
hi there i love to play the flute & used to also play the trombone but i can't play by reading the music i have to play by ear / otherwise go thru & write out all the notes. latas lamb101 xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo [lamb101]
I took clarinet lessons when I was in 4th grade but I was honestly terrible. I am actually a singer, and have done it professionally so my instrument is my voice. I wish I could play piano, and I have tinkered at it a bit, but mostly I just sing. [ladym33]
I used to play clarinet in high school, First chair even! I've won blue ribbons for soloist' performances. So you would think I could still play it,heck no,about a year ago I tried to play my nieces clarinet. I had forgotten most of the notes and songs. I think I getting real old.!I would like to learn how to play the guitar.My son plays lead guitar in a band ,he is also a drummer,plays bass guitar,sings lead, and the piano. Don't know where he got all his musical talent,but I'm glad he did. He loves music. [freefogging]
wow, he is surely very talented ^_^ [cottonm]
I know so many instruments. During my childhood days, I had great inclination towards music. My brother and sister used to learn Indian Vocal Hindustani Classical over an intrument called 'Harmonium'. I don't know whether you have heard of it. I can say it is an Indianised organ. I learnt Harmonium. Thereafter after joining the college, I started learning Mandoline. I can say, it is sort of a Mini Guitor. Thereafter I switched over to Guitor and learnt little bit of guitor. Though foolish enough, I went about learning another instrument called 'Tabla'. It is a percussion instrument. And to cap it all, I tredded on to learn one of the most difficut intruments called ' Sitar '. It is said that one life would not be enough to learn this instrument. So was my journey of learning instruments. I have learnt enough and I have no desire to learn anything else because now anybody can conclude about my musical journey that I am a jack of all and ......... [chandrakanth_Yargop]
wah, it's interesting, i nvr know what is harmonium, but it sounds cool ^_^ [cottonm]
Its good that you enjoy it very much, I think you should. I myself play the guitar and bass guitar, I taught myself to play both, I wanted to learn so bad, that when I started it didn't take me long to learn it. I play mostly play the guitar, because I sing too, but once in awhile I'll pick up the bass so I don't forget how to play it, I've taught my husband how to play the bass, but he doesn't practice with me that much anymore...glareglare [walijo2008]
I play the guitar occasionally - especially in church. Back in college I was the class drummer. [pitstop]
I play a little bit of keyboards. I can also do drums a little. lol [nickventere]
I would like to play the drums. I have bongo drums and another drum i think is called odobo which i bought at a festival. I have played with them a little but wish i really knew how. [jdyrj777]
I can't play anything, I tried when I was a child, but just couldn't seem to stay with it. I do love to listen though. [savypat]
I am a singer and have sung in quite a few bands, it's always fun. I'm not performing right now, but who knows when the next project will come along. I love recording, the studio is full of instruments and cool gadgets I can get lost in there. [Kashigurl]
wow, keep it on, have fun & happy mylotting ^_^ [cottonm]
I play the piano, the clarinet and the ohboe. I tried learning the Alto sax but ran out of time during grade 12 to learn it...as well the jazz band folded at the time. [saundyl]
Wow!!, i dont know what to say about myself, because i love to play them all but everyone is running on me, so i just listen & hold the microphone & sing. but dont ask me to play, maybe your ear will explode :) [Ohara_1983]
I play electronic organ. However, I am a very bad player! [hiddenwing]
guita...my relationship with guita is not long...just a term...and i am not good at it. [xialinye]
I do not know on how to play any organ at all I really do not have any talent about this matter but the only things I know is to listened to this kind of music played by piano, guitar, violin are on eof the most lovely musical instrumet that I really like to listen so often........ [iyah10]
I play the flute. I enjoy it and think I have some talent. I will continue to play it for my own pleasure. I would like to learn who to play the guitar. [tiff1984]
Harmonica. But I really REALLY want to learn the guitar, too. [kipluck]
Just Guitar, but it's been ages since I've played so I'll have to practice quite a bit to remember a few notes again. I'm also TRYING to learn how to play piano. [candymarie]
Hi! I am not a master of any musical instrument. I do know the basics of some instruments. The most that probably know of or is passable at would be the piano. I took lessons when I was three years old too but I stopped because the teacher was pushing me more towards the singing lessons than the actual playing and so over the years I forgot about what I learned. Then when I was in high school the interest in piano sparked again that I took lessons for almost a year. I stopped because the demands of high school academics was very high that I had to give up the piano lessons. It was also in high school that I 'learned' how to play the guitar. A classmate taught me the basics and I was able to pick up the rest of it by playing with the guitar when I have nothing to do.^_^ I also know how to play the flute. Nothing fancy, just the standard one. So to sum things up, I know the basics of the piano, guitar, and flute. Ive tried the violin but that was just for fun.^_^ I dont get to play much nowadays because Im in college and its proving to be getting more difficult every year. Well, goodluck in your musical passions! Have fun and go wild! [bjcyrix]
Hehe, thanks.^_^ [bjcyrix]
hello cottonm ,i think i am weak at playing the musical instrument.In my young time, i learned to play the flute from my father. and i could play it very well.I think that is the only one i could play in the musical instrument.But now,. i want to learn to play the electric guitar. I feel it is fashionable and cool.Because i reall like it very vuch. lol good luck happy happy [successlog]
good luck in learning electric guitar, u shud start to learn if u like it so much, dun regret later ^_^ [cottonm]
My mom is a church organist,she taught me how to play when i was ten years old,but sadly i did not learn how to play the organ.I love to learn how to play an organ but this musical instrument doesn't love me(LOL)lollollol [dong1970]
Learning harp should be interesting. It produces angelic sounds. As for me I used to play piano a lot when I was younger since we had a grand piano at home but my grandmother sold it when it was broken so I kinda stopped playing the piano. When we moved here in Canada my dad bought me an electric keyboard which I play once in a while. I try my best to remember the things that I used to play before. I also play a little bit of guitar. My ex-boyfriend taught me how to play and after that I took some formal guitar lessons. [myahw20]
Er hi. I'm new here...Yikes, this is awkward...But I'm a desperate Malaysian with not enough cash searching for harp lessons, and I daren't tell my parents about my desire until I can find a teacher...I currently play piano and flute...But when you find a suitable harp teacher, can you introduce it to me? Hopefully ASAP. Thanks a lot. [ellekay]
^_^ it's true, it's hard 2 find in malaysia... [cottonm]
Er, hi. Man, this is awkward. Anyway, I'm a deperate Malaysian searching for harp lessons in Malaysia, and I have no cash. I haven't told my parents about my desire for learning harp and I don't plan on doing so until I find myself a harp teacher. If you can manage to find one affordable one in Malaysia, preferrably in PJ, can you contact me? Like, post it up here or something? Oh, and I learn piano and flute. [ellekay]
Great, now I accidentally double-posted. To the admin, if you please, kindly delete this post and the one before...I feel like I just SPAMed...Thank you... [ellekay]
I can play the organ and piano. I wanted to try and learn how to play the drums because during my high school years I was really interested but I never had the chance to do so. I can't figure out why I wasn't able to start how to learn but up to now, I've always been wanting to practice playing the drums. [archerzbaby]
When i was in high school i was interested in learning how to play the guitar.I have a friend who is good at it and my brother also.But i don't think i have the talent because i never learn but my daughter is very much interested about it and i know she can do better than me. [msedge]
i play the piano and it is my major now. i enjoy the moment when i am on the stage cuz i could express more i know i play for the God and God bless me [xy1229]
In Singapore, everywhole has to go through Primary School education, and during our Primary School Education, everyone has to play the recorder! So if you ask any Singaporean, they will tell you they use to play the recorder. HAHA. Back in Secondary School, I joined the String Ensemble and played the violin. So you can errr, say I played the violin? Notice the past tense. I stopped after I graduated from my Secondary School and I doubt I remember how to play it. HAHA [jsloh1989]
