Signups for the event are now open as explained in the new Bell Tree World Championship 2024 thread!
I used to play flute from 5th grade to 10th grade, but ultimately had to quit because marching band takes up too much credit and I wouldn't have been able to graduate on time.
I would take lessons once a week and enter in those merit exams. Marching band was pretty fun and intense. I don't miss band camp though.
When I was in high school I played Clarinet/Bass Clarinet and Tenor/Bari Sax for Jazz Band. I really miss it to be honest and I would love to get back into it if I had the money to purchase an instrument.
I play the violin/fiddle (I gave up on doing the exams I hated them), ukulele, paino, guitar, tin whistle, and I sing. tbh give me any instrument and I can more or less play something on it
I play the Saxophone. I know, it's a funny instrument, but I was really good at playing it. I was so good that I was literally put in a musical to play the Sax. I still have that Sax beside my bed, but I don't play it because my life is working and playing ACNL now.
I used to play the clarinet back in grade school. I wasn't that good back then
Now that I'm much older, I would love to learn electric guitar or something but I am not sure how good I would be. I am pretty intimidated by instruments now honestly. Especially because high school had some traumatic clarinet moments
ive been playing the clarinet for nearly 5 years now, and the alto saxophone for almost 4. its TONS of fun. i actually prefer playing the sax a lot more though??
i also played the ukulele at one point? i literally know no notes now though lmao
I currently play classical guitar. I started playing acoustic but then I got into this free music program and started to play classical so that's cool. My technique isn't particularly good though
I can play the saxophone but I'm not very good anymore. It's the first instrument I took upon myself to learn for school band (from like year 6 to 9) but after my teacher moved out of the country I stopped and didn't continue in high school. I recently bought one second hand though so I'm teaching myself again! I can play the ukulele as well and I know several chords by ear I guess, but I don't own one at the moment.
Good luck with your exam! I always thought piano was super intimidating. I played it for a while too (mum made me) and I remember my instructor was really strict and traditional. It took the enjoyment out of playing for me.
i've played the cello since i was 4! i don't really take lessons anymore, but i'm in an orchestra (not school orchestra ew haha), and i play at two hospitals!
I used to own an ocarina though I'm not sure why I ever bought one as I knew jack squat about playing music and underestimated how difficult it'd be for me. I no longer own that ocarina and don't really have a drive to play music to be honest.
Originally, When I was in 6th grade (3 years ago) I totally "forgot" to submit electives, so I got stuck in musical class. I was actually half-interested, So I wanted to try out the trumpet! Turns out, I'm still completely lazy as usual. In one class, We we're watching the star-spangled banner song so we could write down the lyrics... And I was asleep the entire time. (yup, I was sleeping on the chair) and my teacher didn't notice until the end of the video, but I seriously doubt she even noticed even after it.
Learning a musical instrument can be really great for you in many ways. Its been shown to increase comprehension skills, its a great outlet for expression and venting emotion, and it can be used socially too. I recommend all of you to continue and find some music that you really enjoy and learn how to play those songs in particular.
