I play the piano to a mid standard too - though a teacher I know says I should teach it but I'm not so sure. I teach keyboard - there's not such a risk of passing on poor habits when the striking of a key is not so critical. I play the recorder and am tempted to teach that too as it would be good to develop a group of people to play with. And I play the flute and was not intending to teach it (as I wouldn't want to play the piano in an exam ever) though as these things go I've picked up one pupil and probably wouldn't refuse more if they thrust money at me.

Depends on ones definition of playing but if you mean having the knowledge enough to make a decent sound etc, here is my list:-

Flute
Oboe
Clarinets
All Saxophones
All Brass Band Instruments (too many to list)
Trumpet
Trombone(hence the name)
Tuba
Percussion

and my claim to fame is grade 1 on the violin (did it for charity and got a merit! really proud of that)

Flute is my main/best instrument, not sure what kind of standard I am at - better than grade 5, not as good as diploma, between there well... depends on the piece I play all sorts of music at all levels from G5 and do not currently have a teacher.


I also play piano (working on G5 pieces and finding them scary), do a bit of singing, and play to a greater or lesser extent (between rusty G6-7 standard and just about being able to cobble a tune together): violin, viola, clarsach, recorders, tin whistle, clarinet.

Cool some of us on the ABRSM forum did/are doing grade 1 challenges - it was fun

I can now add the organ to the list of instruments I play, since I'm taking organ lessons this semester.

Oboe, saxophones, bass-guitar, a little double-bass (plucked only....in R&R bands) and I'm learning to play the piano (2nd yr now, still in the child-song and tunes).

(plucked only....in R&R bands)

You mean R&B, right? Anyway, I just love walking bass, it sounds so fun and jazzy.

Might be Rock and Roll?
