What are you learning to play?

I thought it would be neat for those of us who play, or are learning to play an insturment, to tell what we are learning to play. I know Savannah plays the piano, but I don't really know if anyone else here plays anything. I do like talking to others who play, though.

I play the piano, and a little fiddle. I havn't took lessons for the fiddle for about a year now, but I've been playing the piano since I was 7. I'm also the paino player for our small chuch. (We have 4 familys coming....)


Right now I'm learning 'Our Great Saviour' (which is mixed with 'Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.')from the book Amazing Grace. I just finished Near the cross, and I can play Amazing Grace out of the same book. You can look at sample pages of the songs on the website.

So what about you guys???

Well i Don't Play anything My and Sister Play the Guitar but i can't carried a tone in a Bucket not with singing or Playing lol

lol, Jacob! Im not a very good singer, either.

Opps I Meant to Say in my Post My Mom and Sister Play the Guitar

Farmer Girl, do you remember the name of the company that publishes that book, or the website's name? That sounds like a beautiful combination of hymn & classic.

I'm still working on advancing my organ playing skills. Once you throw your feet into the business, it changes things a bit. I figured that since I'm a classically trained pianist, that playing the organ should be no big deal. But it has a totally different touch to it. And balance is a major part of playing it, too.

I wish I could play the guitar, but it makes my hands hurt.

Well Savannah my Mom say your hand only hurts for a couple of weeks till your hands are use to Playing But i can't hold down the strings it's to pain ful lol

Thats the lesson i learn when i try to learn to play a Piano and when i try to learn to play the guitar and the Drums and The Harmanica i think thats it lol i never suceeded in playing any of those so i decided i was just let other people play for me lol

Savannah, The only thing I know about the book is the link in my first post. You click on 'amazing grace' and it takes you to the website of the publishers. My piano teacher bought it for me. Did the link work for you? If not, I'll post it again.

It is a nice combanation. I love both songs, so I've been praticing it alot! lol My teacher told me not to forget my onther songs, though.

I would like to learn to play the organ, but the only one I know of is at our church, which we drive an hour to get to. I still like the piano much better, though. I love hearing the paino and fiddle together.

i play piano. i can play it well enough. i am not by any stretch super at it. we have a nursing home that we go to. my dad preaches and i play hymns for them. i can play Blessed Assurance, Sweet Hour of Prayer, Near the Cross, and some other various hymns.

well...i play the flute, piano, and recorder...and i have had university level training in classical singing...but since i have pretty bad performance anxiety, i am in graduate school for special education for the visually impaired

I didn't see a link. I'd appreciate it if you'd post it again.

Lily, what a great picture of your Aunt & Uncle - and what a wonderful testimony, too!

Here you go, Savannah:

Lily, when my siblings get older I hope they will all play instrumnents, so we can play together. My mom would have to be the conductor in our family! lol My Dad used to could play the piano very well, but he hasn't praticed in ages.

Thanks Savannah for the offer! I'll keep it in mind.

I'll get to work on it, Lily! :Hahaha:
