I played the violin in 5th grade to appease my parents and try to get with Emily Butterball. Neither worked. Like all kids at the time I played the recorder as well in 4th grade music class.
In college I bought a "Teach Yourself to Play the Piano" book. Got to the 4th chapter and was done, having only learned a little with my right hand only.
I've since owned and sold and electric and acoustic guitar. Never learned more than a handful of chords. I still have a djimbe drum around somewhere as well...
As you can see, learning a musical instrument is about like learning Russian for me. Lots of attempts but no real developments.
But you know what I'd really really like to know how to play? The xylophone or marimba!!! Yep, mallets striking bars. Oh, I'd love that. I even have a to Fischer-Price one with the notes written on the "keys".
Do you think anyone in SD does adult xylophone lessons??
