Do you play any...?

My devotion to music developed early and I started playing accordion at around 6...7. I then was studying in the school of music, but wasn't able to obtain higher musical education and eventually became a software engineer for the past 33 years.

My interests pretty much established towards an artistic and sophisticated music that I can listen with pleasure via equipment of my choice.

I'm sure many of us here had something to do with musical training or education here on this site, but are there any that have no idea how to play any instrument?

My Dad had a Hammond C3 with Leslie. I took lessons in grammar school and got to a rudimentary William Tell Overture (Lone Ranger theme).

Then gave up. I was just not able to keep playing after I hit a wrong note.

Played the acoustic guitar. Not well.

Played the cornet. Pretty well.

 I don’t play any instruments.    I’ve tried to teach myself guitar a couple times. I just didn’t have the dexterity.   I’m about 60,and at this point ,my hands are shot. Some mornings it’s a bit of a struggle to button my shirt.  However,I absolutely love music,and the best reproduction I can afford.

Guitar and piano for me learned as a kid we are a musical family and it is a real joy.  I highly recommend parents get their children into musical education music lessons or being part of the school band.

I haven't played a gig in years.  At the very most, I sit on the porch and serenade the neighbors walking their dogs. And oh yeah, I also play an Old Time open-back banjo.
