and how old were you when you started to learn it?

Theres a lot of multi instrumentalists here but we all started somewhere.

I started playing drums when I was 3

I began on piano at the age of five, but switched to violin at eight and picked up flute at ten. Still play violin and flute some thirty years later.

Piano at age 11. Actually, piano was my first instrument with formal lessons, then I quit soon afterwards. Bass was my very first instrument, but I never had a formal lesson on it. Drums was the last one.

recorder

i had no idea what i was playing and the teacher talked too much of her happy wedded life. this is from third grade.

the flute at 5 yrs old,, the Bass! at 15 But I sucked! so I stoped

I started playing keyboard/piano at around 6 years old.

If you want it that badly, you'll find a way. My instruments earn more money than they cost anyway so for me its an investment

Tuba 9 years old

Organ when I was five. My single mother was VERY poor but she had always been a music-lover and wanted her boys to do what she never had the opportunity to do -- learn music! She bought one of the cheapest organs in the store, and somehow she made a deal with them so she only had to pay very little every month, and one of the ladies there took compassion on her and her boys by offering my brother and me organ lessons for hardly anything. Yes, there were many times I wanted to skip the lessons, but I didn't since I felt the importance of it all. I later moved on to other things (sometimes using very old school instruments), but keys has always been my thing. I thank God for the wisdom of my mother. Every child should be given the gift of music. In the least, it's a hobby that's kept me out of trouble.
