Piano

I used to know how to play the piano, in fact I was pretty good at it.

But after suffering a traumatic brain injury I no longer remember how to play at all

I've tried a few times since finally recovering but it's like the connection between my brain and my fingers just isn't there like it used to be and the notes on the sheet music kinda float around.

It's like I've started over from the beginning with a higher difficulty and it's so frustrating because I know I used to be able to play some of the super simple songs from memory.

It's been 5 years since the head injury. I'd love to learn again, but it's been such a struggle to even start.

Drums

Harp. One with pickups so I can chain up some stomp pedals to it.

Saxomophone

Not so much a traditional instrument, but I would love to learn how to make music through software like Sony acid pro. I had a friend once who did it and he did some really great stuff.

A mandola. I already play guitar and bass guitar and I used to own a mandolin, but I really quite fancy learning a mandola.

Guitar. There are so many songs I love that I wish I could play. Stuff by Alan Gogoll for example. But he's very skilled and would take years to get even close to him.

Is a mix table an instrument? I pretty bad at music, but would love to learn how to mix music for parties and so.

Clarinet. And then I'd learn how to write poetry. Poetry and clarinet.

Drums. Don't have money or practice space for even an electric kit. And also I'm in absolutely terrible shape.

Accordian

Hurdy Gurdy, apparently it is normally a left handed instrument, and as a militant southpaw I like this idea.

Cello, I love the sound and atmosphere of it. But at some point you need to make choices. I've played the clarinet as a kid and I have piano lessons since a year or two, so for now I'll focus on the latter. Can't have it all. 🙂

banjo

Oboe. Close enough to what I already know, but the double reed would make it an interesting challenge.

If practicality, storage and transport were magically not an issue, then the harp. But I’m temporarily playing a contra-bass clarinet and that thing is a beast, so I’d not pick up large instruments going forward.

Theremin SO MUCH

I piano a little and drums a bit but theremins are the most fascinating instrument to me. You can play without even touching?! Amazing!

Does it count if I technically know how to play, but still suck at it? I know how to play guitar and piano. But not well.

I always wanted to learn how to play piano. I absolutely love the sound, but I'm missing several fingers, and I know it'd be really disheartening to always have a bunch of music I'd never be able to play due to not being able to hit all the keys for complex chords.

I've been eyeing up the barry sax for a while.

Saxophone. I know how to play keyboards, a couple of stringed instruments, and drums. I don’t know how to play any wind/brass instrument other than the flute.

I've always wanted to learn to sing, ever since I was a kid. I even started taking lessons before I went through a major life change that pushed all of that aside. I meant to come back to it but I realised recently it just doesn't matter to me enough to pursue it compared to other things I want to achieve. And it really never became fun for me: it seems like the only way to improve is to 1) make it a team sport, which isn't an option for me, 2) start improving from when you're young enough that you're not self-conscious, or 3) painfully just listen to yourself be awful until you improve as an adult. Which is totally 100% doable, but pretty joyless & not worth the time investment for me rn.

Piano. I can play acoustic and electric guitar (yes, they are the same instrument, but you play them differently, and I can play both styles very proficiently), bass guitar, ukulele, drums, various percussion instruments, and I sing. I even played a stand-up bass one time and I was able to play it just fine after 5 minutes of dicking around. I have tried many times to learn piano but it's so damn hard. I can get by enough to record some basic stuff with some editing fuckery. But I'm nowhere near good enough to just play a song all the way through with it sounding good and without tons of mistakes.

Piano

I play a few different string instruments and keyboards, but drums would be a blast. Got to work on my feet though, never been a foot tapper!
