Me and Cloverjo must come from the same time and place where descant recorders were dished out at primary school and we had to shriek along to a radio programme - had accompanying booklets with pictures and a little music. Never learned music but can still remember what to call the recorder notes.

40 mixed juniors all shrieking out of time and tune into plastic descant recorders....oh my......

Then when I was 11 my father presented me quite randomly with a violin. I was sent for lessons on a Saturday with a nasty bitter woman who spent most of each hour belittling her pupils. Oddly enough I allowed a sibling to hijack the instrument.

Learned to play chopsticks on a harmonium.

These are all essential life skills to place alongside knowing how many chains there are in a furlong.
I too got to play the recorder at school. I also had piano lessons, trouble is I couldn't master reading music. I could hear a piece of music and play it, but sadly my left hand didn't have a clue what to do.
When I was about 4, my Mum tried to teach me piano but I made such a fuss about it, she stopped. Since then, I can never walk past a piano without
regretting not being able to play it.

Recorders ere very popular when I was a boy and I could play one reasonably well. But when I was 12, I joined the local brass band and played the e and b flat basses, until I was 16.
I can play a recorder through my nose...
For some reason or other the grandchildren won't let me use their recorder...
I played and taught some recorder then learnt the flute. Had piano lessons as well and then went on to the guitar, some classical lessons and taught myself a lot of it. Used to be in school/college orchestras and choirs and was involved in a lot of church music.

Rarely play anything now but would love to be a better piano player! Always wanted to be able to play the theme from The Piano but not had a piano for years.
Flute to Grade 6. One of the cheapest instruments to buy and luckily one of the easiest to carry. Also held in a useful position to have play fights when we got bored in orchestra or wind band.
Never learned professionally, but have always like piano and guitar. I have an ear for music too which comes in handy when I strum a few chords on me guitar! Oh, also played recorder at school.

Interesting reading, thank you for the answers.

My piano teacher was a "Miss Harrington" and had no patience with children.
