Do you play any instruments?
Do you write music?
Do you perform?
Are you in a band?

Would love to hear about it!

I play several instruments and write songs.
Here are some recent ones:

    I don't perform because I do not know how to read nor write music at the moment. I can only play by ear.
    So, with my tablet, I guess I can play the piano by memorizing how a melody goes and letting my fingers do the figuring out. So, somewhat.

    Do you play any instruments? I play guitar and i sing
    Do you write music? yes
    Do you perform? yes
    Are you in a band? I don't think so. When I perform, it's me and another guitarist and that's it. I.m not sure how many constitutes a "band." we're a duo.

    I can play the piano and figure out most songs by ear.
    I don't do anything in the musical field
    but I'm musical and can tell you when someone is off key because it makes me cringe. :)

    I play piano, and in high school I played percussion in band. I tried to learn clarinet once, but it did not go very well and didn't last more than two weeks...
    I don't write music
    I used to perform in high school with symphonic band and jazz band. Also when I was taking piano lessons I did piano recitals. But that's about it.
    Never been in an actual 'band' but I'd like to if I ever get the chance!

    I used to play the trombone and the bass guitar. I gave my trombone away to a neighbor kid who wanted to play an instrument in school, but didn't have the money for it. I sold my bass and amp after having it sit in my closet for years without me getting it out. Now that I have been getting out and listening to live bands again, I am kind of missing it.

    I took piano and totally regret not sticking with it. I sang in choirs for years. Husband is the musician playing guitar in a popular cover band now but writes his own too.

    I sing...alone. and I play oboe and clarinet. I used to perform but I'm no longer in school and I haven't been able to find an orchestra around to work around my work schedule. I definitely miss it though!

    Do you play any instruments? Bass badly, have a guitar but no time to try to play
    Do you write music? No
    Do you perform? Not ever going to happen
    Are you in a band? Tried once many years ago.

    However I have a different musical talent. I am a dancer mostly ballroom and Latin. I teach and run my own school and dances.
    I play bass badly because I am too busy dancing.

    I've been playing since the age of 5 I guess.
    I started with keyboards, then guitar, bass guitar, drums...but what I prefer the most is singing.
    I used to be in bands, I did write some music, but these days, it's just me and my Strat/Marshall. ;)
    I wish I could jam with some other musicians... :D

    singer songwriter, play mandolin, mandola, Irish whistles, guitar, clarinet (woefully!), a bit of banjo. I have been in bands, but not just at the moment, sometimes do a bit of duo work. Just at the moment, my favourite thing is playing in Irish tune sessions. Links to some of my songs here - https://www.reverbnation.com/puttyroad -

    I played your tracks, you have a nice voice and I like the sound of Know. The others have a bit too much drum in them for my taste (I guess that proves I'm just an old school folkie!!)

    You sound great :) Love to hear stuff different to mine!

    Thanks for listening to mine, it's cool that it's not your thing, thanks for being honest!
