All of you guys are crazy.

The furthest instrument I've ever played was some triangle and stick which goes like *ding dong* each time I tap it with the stick and triangle.

Dem kindergarten days were legendary.

Started violin at 3 (Suzuki method FTW); I think my parents wanted me to have a nice hobby.

I played in eisteddfods regularly in primary school, played in local orchestra..

Still enjoy playing casually

Just thought I'd let you know, flute is awesome .


Our school has a mandatory 1 year instrument programme. II chose the flute (because it was the only one small enough to fit into my school bag) and I've never regretted it since.

 blank i will personally avenge your death if you don't choose saxophone! hahah nah seriously, it is one of those instruments that instantly puts you in a relaxed, blissful mood.. be sure to check you out at some gigs coming up in no time

My dad took organ when he was younger, so when I was young he made me take electone. Switched to piano when I was 9. And then when I was 11, my school started violin classes, so I picked up violin then. Continued with the orchestra in secondary school.

I'm still playing both instruments. =) I think I want to pick up clarinet when I grow older....the timbre is just so fascinating!

Cause parents said so. They want me to do violin, but violin places already filled. So they said, take up flute. Good choice, grade 5 flute now. I still play it.

I wanted to learn piano because my mum bought me a mini piano (40 cm in length) and I didnt know how to play any nursery rhymes. I wanted to learn how to play 'Twinkle Twinkle little star' (I was only 6 years old) the most, so my mum organised piano lessons.

The first day of the music lesson (i didnt know big pianos existed) so I carried my 40cm in length piano with me to school, for the piano lesson. My piano teacher laughed and said I could have a go at the big piano then.

Since then I have never looked back. Finish 3/4 Music Solo Performance last year:)

violin: prep until about year 9 when I started to fail maths.
