Default Do You Play An Instrument? - know how to market recordings online

I used to be a full-time musician, and I still play music for some projects.

Does anyone else here play musical instruments?

That can be a modest source of income if you have the proper equipment and know how to market recordings online.

I did when I was at college and would love to do so again, I played the guitar and loved it but money and time are big factors now.

In my college I used to play guitars in our college functions & also have awarded for it.I never think to play it professionally & I think my experience in it is not so good enough that I can play it professionally.

What type of music do you play? How long have you been playing? Do you have any videos? Seems if you are going to post that you are great that you might want to give a little info...

When I was in Grade School, my mother enrolled me in a Music school where I learned to play the Organ. Actually, it was my mom's choice. I really wanted to learn how to play drums. So when I entered college, I took drum lesson and even bought my own drum set. I was a dream come true for me!

I can play a little of the guitar and piano. My father enrolled me in piano lessons when I was still in grade school. I am very grateful to my parents for that because it made me a music lover. My friend taught me how to play the guitar while I was in college I already forgot some of the basic chords in the guitar

I play the bagpipes, started when I was 7, so it was a nice little income when I was an early teenager. I still do it today, because I love playing in a pipe band, and the adrenaline rush is a pretty cool experience.

I used to play the violin when I was younger, but it was the school's instrument so when I had to give it up when it was time to move houses. At my new school I would play baritone, which I really disliked playing. Right now I'm not playing any instrument, but I plan on investing into getting a piano and learning how to play it.

Well i used to play piano really good a few years ago. Like all those sophisticated Mozart pieces, but then we moved overseas to a smaller apartment and we couldn't have another piano so i don't remember anything now

Have jammin' with some bands and after quiet few years, my friends and i decided to build a band here in our country which is not much known but we have CD's sold out on local market.. And i'm pretty comfortable on that already..

I'm getting back into piano. I used to play the piano all the time & now I feel inspired to again. The main music I enjoy playing is video game music. Preferably major hit N64 games.

I played piano and I played trumpet throughout school -- playing a musical instrument has turned out to be a wonderful opportunity for me, even though I don't play any longer. It paid my way through college(marching band), I had the chance of meeting tons of people, famous and talented. It's really too bad that they are cutting back music programs in schools and adding money to things like sports -- because it's proven that playing an instrument is going to be ten times more beneficial to your intellectual growth then playing a sport.

Not to say I'm against sports -- I just think music isn't really given a fair shot to succeed.

I did try to learn Guitar on one occasion and Keyboard on another occasion. Wen I learned that I suck in music, i dropped out of both of them. So I can't play any sort of musical instruments to any good effect. May be in the next life, I would be Mozart or Yanni or some one!!

I use to play the viola in middle school. It was actually a pretty funny story because I was going through some family issues at the time, and had no time to practice. Well, around the time of the christmas concert, my teacher asked me to pretend to play so I wouldn't make the entire group sound as horrible as I was, haha. I would like to learn the guitar, and today I play a fair amount of keyboard.
