I play clarinet. I've been playing for 4 years. I play mostly in band class, but I can play other stuff that isn't peices written for a concert band. Like Hope Or Pain, Walking Proud, the Mario Bros. Theme, Colours of the Rainbow, Hikari (of Kingdom Hearts fame), and CaramellDansen. (XD)
I dabble on piano. I've never had a lesson, and I have no idea what the correct hand position is. I just put my hands wherever convinient. When I get bored, I'll play a song I like from my iPod and figure out how to play it on the keyboard I have in my room. At which point I can transpose it and play it on my clarinet. (thats how I can play the random stuff mentioned above) Your mind is screaming the words "BAND GEEK!!!!!", isn't it?... I thought so...
I'm learning melophone, but I suck at it. (I suck at all brass instruments) fyi, melophone is the same as a french horn (as in, it sounds the same) but its shaped more like a trumpet for marching. (although its significantly larger than a trumpet)
On that note (lol, some pun intended), I did marching band this past year, and I'll do it again next year. I intend to do it every year of high school.
I dabble on flute/piccolo. Whenever one of my freinds let me play their flute, I always try to play something, but I'm really bad at it. I can play, maybe 10 notes, and they're not even consecutive. That's why I learned the piccolo solo from last year's feild show on clarinet.
So despite everything I just said, I really only play clarinet...
