Loud, wrong, with passion and when nobody can hear or see me :lol:

I play jazz piano, and other styles too, like soundtrack music (I can read music but I suck at it :crazy: . I learn much better by ear). A little bit of bass guitar. My other main instrument would be percussion, both keyboard instruments (marimba, vibes, etc. I can do four mallet stuff with these), and drums (I play drums for my schoo's varsity jazz band). I appreciate all types of music, but my favorite styles to play and listen to would be jazz, funk/fusion, and movie soundtrack type stuff.

I also like to mess around with synthesizers. While I can't afford a hardware synth, I like to mess around with soft synths like Zebra 2 and ZETA+ (on my iPad). I have a friend who does this too. He's got a bandcamp at http://desseler.bandcamp.com/ and a soundcloud (for his more experimental stuff) at https://soundcloud.com/desseler (EDIT: Fixed link)

I'm getting my masters degree in piano performance right now... I hope that qualifies. Also sang for quite some time.

Likewise. :)

Never did learn to sight-read (other than voice, which barely counts), possibly because I can usually hear something and play it back, if not well, at least recognizably.

At the risk of sounding like an insufferable snob, it probably qualifies a lot more than being able to hold a tune on a harmonica :P

That's cool you DJ. I originally was trying to do some DJ'ing, but discovered I liked creating the music far more than mixing it. Awesome though!

I Play the Theremin!!! ...well.. I own a theremin.. I cannot play it thaaat well :shh:

I also play Piano, Guitar (I guess that includes Bass Guitar) and Saxophone. I've dabbled with the Flute and Clarinet but didnt really pursue it (I'll get 'round to it). oh and I'm getting a 5 stringed electric violin for christmas so i'll be starting on that soon (I guess a 5 string violin is technically also a 5 string viola.. eh..)

Happy to see so many Musical people in the LT Community!

I play guitar and occasionally make an attempt to sing, and if you're willing to indulge me a shameless self-advertisement, you're welcome to have a peek here.

I am a cellist. I just had a competition last week, and by chance I had my Dad record it. You can see it here if you're interested: http://youtu.be/k7qM4BjLG90

Very talented!! :clap: I'm impressed. What was that you were playing? It seemed familiar in different places.

Very nicely done! That was some generally excellent technical work, with moments (like around 5:08) of feeling that really came through. Good luck!

I also put the cello up at the top of the "wish I could play it" instruments.

(Maybe we need a "what's the one instrument you most wish you could play" poll. :))

Also: look at all these musical people. We need to form a virtual band.
