I played piano for a time. I wasn't bad but never practiced so never got good
kinda wished i'd kept it up, but at that point in my life i just wasn't interested in practicing  Previous Message
Did / do you play an instrument?
In your reply, please say what instrument, when you started playing it and if you are still active.
I was introduced to the trumpet in 4th or 5th grade and played it for a couple of years. Never very well.
I suspect lots of us did via our schools
