Does anybody....

.....play any instruments?

I play the piano myself. (Not professionally though, but I love to play from time to time!)

I found this cute animated short-film called "The Piano"
This must-see animation features an old man playing piano as his whole life flashes before him. (Source: Aidan Gibbons).

thanks for sharing that...the music wuz awesome in that film

I agree!! You're very welcome by the way! :wink:

I play the guitar but i don't really know many songs, completely, cause i like to write my own stuff.
I like to be creative and not focus too much on other peoples songs

Wow, that's cool! I have a guitar too, but as my fingers prefer the piano, I had to give it up... I'd love to make my own music too, but I suck at reading notes so most of the time I just play songs I've stored in my brain...

I also found this funny animation: Singing Horses! :mrgreen:
First Click on the title! Then you simply click on a horse to make him start singing and then let his friends join in! :lol:

Nice find LA-girl.I like that music to.

I was never in to instruments to much.I played the tuba in school and probably could still if I want to.lol

 

[missquiet]

i play the piano when i'm bored (mostly by ear cause i'm slow at reading sheet music),
played alto sax and flute all through middleschool/highschool...and of course the recorder. :lol:

That video was very nice, thanks LAgirl.

I play a bit of the piano - took lessons for years but you can't tell. Also guitar, same thing.

 

[LA-girl]

You're all very welcome!!
Thank you for your replies and gratitude!
I'm glad to hear that someone else than me enjoyed it!

I recently watched "Amelie from Montmartre" (a very good movie btw!) and discovered that the piano piece from "The Piano" (with a very long french title) had been used repeatedly as a soundtrack throughout the movie.
As I also find myself having a hard time getting tired of this piece I thought I could bring this thread back to life and give others an opportunity to watch/listen to it as well...

I play the piano. I'm not great though - I'm much better when I've learned a piece by heart, then I can play without thinking lol

I did start teaching myself the guitar, but I gave up for a while because it was hurting my fingers and causing blisters lol. I haven't picked it up again since, I should...

I leaned to play the violin while I was at school too, but I haven't played since I was 13.

I love 'The Piano' animation, and the singing horses lol.
