you have the chance to play anything you want all of the time, i play about 30 instruments some im good at some im working on there is a trick BUY QUALITY SECONDHAND if you do this if you can sell it on if its not for you and get all your cash back, gets you over the investment prob if its sax or piano etc
another trick practise a little often if it can be carried take it with you everywhere , dont keep anything in a case or itll live there . keep it in the toilet everytime you go there play years will rush by as they do and you will master it . listen to people who are great at it and dont get hung up on dots and script. If you do read music throw it away one in three practises or thats all you,ll ever do , have fun enjoy the journey
and finally im actually a visual artist working on an exhibition of naked musicians if anyone fancys modelling naked with their instrument get in touch must be ladies though

click on the you tube link for some samples of my own stuff

get your fingere out and get on with it it is realisable ambition best of luck one other thing if threre is something missing in your life and you dont play the great highland bagpipes that is whats missing GO FOR IT

Juneau: If you were given the chance to learn to play a musical instument, what would it be?

I have a classical guitar up in my loft, that I've had for decades. When I was at school I had a few lessons, until my exams got in the way, and I gave up. I would still love to have lessons one of these days, particulary to learn to play classical music (John Williams style).

I have also always wanted to learn to play the saxaphone. I think it has a wonderful sound, and really adds something when you hear it played on a song



I have been playing the piano since 5 years of age & am trained to concert level, I have also played the guitar but would love to learn the saxaphone

Juneau: You taught yourself the saxaphone??? Did you find it easy? Do you think you need to be able to read music to do that? Reading music was always my downfall ... I hated it. I would much rather hear a tune and try and copy it. If I took up the saxaphone, I'd have to take out a morgage for a new house (with thicker walls!)


The clarinet and sax are very similar. Except it takes alot more air/lung power for the sax. Speaking of sound-proofing....when I was a beginner my german sheppard would HOWL while I was practicing. Too funny!!! rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

At least if you play by ear, you don't have to worry about losing the sheet music! tongue uh oh

Juneau: I know that this will probably sound stupid, but have you ever tried playing a different type of drum? I joined in with a Salsa drumming group once and it was the best fun ever - just a wall of noise! There were so many different types of drum being used, I don't think anyone would really notice if you were a little off beat.


nothing wrong with being a little "offbeat"laugh

I would like to learn how to play guitar one of these days

Classical spanish guitar. Definitely!


My second choice would be either the harp or flute.
I find a man playing the saxophone very attractive smitten
