Absolutely hated music class back in elementary, especially when they made us learn the recorder. The ranks were the same as karate belts, so I think I only made it to like yellow/orange belt before giving up? I liked MUSIC, but not playing an instrument I didn't like and music I didn't like either, which is why I never did orchestra/band/etc.

Despite that, now I am a music theory buff and teach friends/family music stuff whether it be simple theory/playing techniques to how to use a DAW. That is when I'm not fooling around making silly musical jokes, recreating popular songs for fun, or composing microtonal tunes.

I guess in summary-
Just because you don't like something in school doesn't mean you don't like it at all, it can just mean that they're teaching it in a way that doesn't work for you.

I’m a violinist! Classically trained, but would love to take an opportunity to join a folk group someday to play more fiddle.

What decade were you touring in?

Since your name rhymes with Johnny; you could substitute your name in Charlie Daniels' "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" song. Think about that one.

I did play that song in high school, with a band and all! Was so fun!

I played keyboards in garage bands in high school and college. Except back then it was organ, Leslie and electric piano. Technology was in its infancy.

I’m a classically trained pianist and organist on an advanced level, music being my huge passion since I was a toddler I guess, bc I grew up with my grandma and she played a lot of classical music when I grew up at her place.

I still remember to this day that very evening when it struck me like a train at an organ recital at a church which I attended with my mum and her then fiancé. I was probably 5 or 6 and heard the mighty church organ and it’s majestic spectrum of sounds gave me something akin to a huge revelation and I was hooked.

So a couple of years later, I started with the piano and my big dream of learning the organ finally came when I was 12. Nowadays I have a student in that age and I also play at concerts and accompanying soloists and my choir. Which I really love.

A couple of years ago, I was the founder of a Swedish traditional music ensemble, in which I play the modern 3 row Nyckelharpa, Silverbasharpa and sometimes the fiddle as well.
In these troubled times, I feel blessed that I have the privilege of being a musician and having this art to lean upon, when I’m feeling distressed or just bored - I quite have the feeling that I’m not alone in this opinion.

So, never been a touring musician, but am a recording artist/producer/engineer. I do play bass/drums/keys, both for fun and also sessions, but mostly i own a recording studio so around the music business all the time, and yes the music business is great to relax you, and give your soul a bit of the good stuff it needs.

i suggest that everyone try to learn/play/enjoy music, it's the best therapist you can have 100% anonymous and fairly cheap at that!

 

[Lumos]

Not a musician, but I just got my first Steel Tongue Drum and I'm having a blast! I can play a tune from Jurassic Park and the Song of Time from Zelda.

 

[ChocChip]

I’ve heard suggestions before that orchestral musicians may have worn diapers during long performances...

 

[iPad]

I am a songwriter and play guitar, bass and keys. Badly.

My cousin toured in the 80’s, he said touring takes a lot out of you and you have to be conditioned to go on tours.
