I don't, but both of my brothers do. (One is in grad school for music performance-trumpet.) - kelly Jan 8, 18:46
I did from 4th grade - 8th grade. First chair. - JaxSean Jan 8, 18:43 14
- found one on craigslist for $100... thought about buying it and teaching myself or just messing around with it. -- nm - Guy Jan 8, 18:48 8
  - do you live in a house or an apartment? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 8, 18:51 7
    - yeah, but my landlords are used to my infernal racket by now - Guy Jan 8, 18:55 6
      - keep in mind it's *loud*. - JaxSean Jan 8, 18:56 5
        
        I am sure by now they know about GUY. Like noise would bother them? -- nm - Redmond $ Jan 8, 18:58 4
        
        they dont seem to mind all the late night squealing -- nm - Guy Jan 8, 19:04 3
        
        there are muzzles you can get they look like metal bowls but I'm not sure what they are really called, anyway they lower the sound. -- nm - Stacy Jan 8, 19:08 2
        
        A mute. - kelly Jan 8, 19:11 1
        
        (I guess you could use it for that purpose, though.) -- nm - kelly Jan 8, 19:14
- First chair as well. -- nm - Stacy Jan 8, 18:45
- Don't you mean Wheelchair? -- nm - Redmond $ Jan 8, 18:44
- ooh, that should have been in the team 'captain' poll! -- nm - Andie Jan 8, 18:44 2
  - I was also a soccer team captain a few years. played from age 5 - 9th grade (15~ish?). - JaxSean Jan 8, 18:48 1
    - I played soccer as well from 5 to 18...PAL league (Police Athletics League) -- nm - Stacy Jan 8, 19:04
I played for 2 years, it isnt too hard, but it sucks if you have a cold sore on your mouth -- nm - Stacy Jan 8, 18:42
You need a good ear. Part of what creates the pitch is the muscles in your mouth and throat. -- nm - mara Jan 8, 18:42 1
- i have a pretty good ear from guitar & singing. so, perhaps i could learn from just playing around until I'm hearing the notes i want? -- nm - Guy Jan 8, 18:47
And where have you been? -- nm - nubby Jan 8, 18:40 1
- vacation (stayed off the computer mostly) and now busy at work catching up! -- nm - Guy Jan 8, 18:46
I used to in junior high. Never found it crazy hard. -- nm - TFox Jan 8, 18:40
