How many people here have been professionally trained on any instruments? By professionally, i really just mean lessons or learning them in school? Some of the music you guys have made is really awesome, and would be hard to do without a little musical background. I play the trumpet it my school band(s), and havebeen taking piano lessons for a few years. |

i played trumpet in the school band for 2 years and i just finished a guitar class in school about a month ago also, i learned to play the recorder a long time ago meh |
||||||||

Played a little piano for a short time. Did quite a bit of trumpet lessons. Now I play drums and dj. |
||||||||
|

i can play drums too and guitar and bass and a little piano but i wasnt trained professionally in any of thoes |
||||||||

nice... i forgot to mention learning the recorder numerous times in school, and i've a drumset, but can't do much more than a simple rock beat. |

i played the drum set for 4 years starting in 6th grade. (both in school and private lessons) i then sold them to buy equipment for making electronic music. i taught myself to write and use the equipment for about 3 years, and then i finally took some theory classes. the year before i took theory classes, i began playing the electric bass, teaching myself how to read music and play. Then, the same year that i started taking theory lessons, i also took bass lessons. (I played the bass in my highschoo band both years... even when i first started). I also took a class on guitar for a year, but i didnt like it, so i dont play anymore. I then applied to Berklee College of Music, where I am now... studying Synthesis, Film Scoring, and possibly Composition, if I can squeeze it in (film scoring has alot of classes in common with composition, so i might take all the non required composition classes as electives). I play bass as my principle intrument (we have to play an instrument while we are here, and have lessons) but i am enjoying it less and less. I just like to write music. It will be required of me to learn piano (i think starting next semester...) ill take 2 classes of that. Its also required for me to take 4 classes of voice lessons, which im on my 3rd year. So yeah. I do wish i played the piano, and had learned it at a young age... its a useful tool for writting... but im still young... i got my whole life to learn :) |

*not 3rd year... 3rd semester.... take voice lessons for the first 4 semesters. |

well, I have 5 years of modern dance, and 4 years of tap... seriously though, I was in piano lessons for maybe 7 or 8 years, and took trombone lessons in school for maybe 5 or so... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I took guitar lessons for a few years until recently... can't afford it now. I was a horrible student, theory wise... I never got the hang of reading the notes... but I'm good at playing, and with tab I do just fine. |

i'm "professionally trained" in trumpet (5 or 6 years) and guitar, but ironically i'm probably best at keyboard which i taught myself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i'm shit at piano, and i've been going for 5 or 6 years at least. i cannot stand my teacher, tho, so that could have something to do with it :-P i've taught myself more trumpet than my band teacher ever could, too. |

I studied trumpet for 3 years prior to high school. I took formal lessons outside of school, but failed to develop as an expert trumpet player. I kinda lost interest. The years of playing in concert band were not much fun, so I eventually gave up on it. |
||||||||

weird, a lot of trumpet players on this board! i know so few people in person who play trumpet. |
||||||||
|

took gee tar lessons for awhile, but then i decided that the genral musical rules for guitar were shit, so I stopped taking them to go off and explore my own ways with the 6 strings, but then i bought a synthesizer... |
||||||||

been learning the violin for a looong time... too long... Got an old gee tar.... I really wish i could play the piano.... or drums, or guitar or trumpet.... yeah, or double bass |

i took sax lessons when i was younger |

I've had about 9 years violin study, taking lessons on and off, and 3 years of oboe lessons. (Oboe! Yay! Who likes oboe?) |

Sang in a (well, several) choir for about 8 years. I was also trained in the Violin for 2 years. Self taught acoustic guitar (really bad) & harmonica (can't play tunes-use it a vocoder type device...) learning piano/keyboard (used to play self taught bontempi organ!) with help from gf & her mum (her mum is a really good pianist). |

Damn, forgot the (/i) again... |

Piano since I was 10. Trumpet since I was 13. Guitar since I was about 17. Decks (I'm counting them too!) 17/18. Used to sing in a choir for four years and played the recorder at lower school. Started the Violin but thought it was crap. No offence to Violin players. |

I've played Cello, Double Bass, violin and I tried the trumpet for about a week but I sucked =op |

The Violin's a git, you have to be really good to get a good sound out of it. I'd say it's a lot easier to become "good" at the piano than a violin... Yes, I did recorder too and I suppose In total I've clocked up a few score hours on decks as well (want my own now!) |
||||||||

Get the decks! Scorn all other purchases and get them. You won't regret it I promise you! They're the best fun. DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! |

Saving like a swine for them- very little alcohol/going out/video games/bought meals etc. I keep buying vinyl though- I've got 50 records now, so I'm not buying anymore apart from hi-scores & twoism till I get decks. It's really tempting just to say, "Sod it" and buy them, but I really don't need more money worries :) |

Know the feeling. Hope you get them soon mate. |

I've been taking piano lessons for 14 years. I'm hopefully going to be studying music from september, if all goes according to plan. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
been wanting to get decks for ages, never got round to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
To compound the dilema, I'm also getting reasonable at Traktor so I find it harde rto justify to myself. Still, I have set my sights on them and one day the PDX-2000s will be mine! Plus there's a load of other music related stuff like and oxygen midi keyboard & a stable powerful laptop that I know will be vying for purchasing once the neccesary moola is saved up :o) Patrik: Good luck, where are you studying? |

But I will get decks, I mean it's pathetic how much I want them really. I was practicing crabs with my spaar hand driving to work.. |

Warwick is pretty good for music as is loughborough from what I hear. There's a music tech. course taught by a member of the incredible string band (One of BoC's main influences!) in my uni :) |
