Dilip's Post

Instruments
By: Dilip
Have you ever played an instrument? There are woodwinds, brass, strings and even percussion. There are many instruments in the world you can play. Some I like and like to play are guitar and piano. I like guitar, because it is a big part of bands. It feels nice to strum the strings of the guitar. I also like how you can make your own melodies with the guitar. I like the Piano, because the movement of your fingers is fun. I am just starting Piano so I can’t play advanced, but it is still fun to play. If you play an instrument, what is it or what would it be and why?

I actually play (or played) 3 instruments. Last year in band class I played the clarinet. It was fun but then I joined percussion in 5th grade which was the snare drum. I also take snare drum private classes. The main instrument I actually play in the full drum set. I've been playing for about 2 or three years? I love the drums because you can be creative and make up lots of beats and its fun banging on the drums. I'll be playing the drums in the talent show!!!

I play the violin, piano, and flute. I started violin in the beginning of third grade to now, and now I am in level four. I played the piano ever since I was three. In my piano class we go to exams and if we pass, we get a gold screw or something. Once we have five, our faces will show on a magazine. I have never failed my exams so I have two. My brother on the other hand has three because he started exams before I did.

I play the guitar and I enjoy it a lot. The reason why I enjoy it is because I have a great teacher and when I play the guitar each time I get better and better which makes me happy. Also, when you play an instrument you develop a new talent.

I play the piano. I like it because the variation of keys creates a strong melody which fills the air.

I also play three instruments. The first one I took recently up was piano. I have been at it for about two and a half years now. Then, for our school's band, I took up flute. I always wanted to play the flute ever since I was little. I think it has a soft tune to it. Sort of calming and quite. Peaceful. I started these two recently, but I started the turkish drums ever since I was 4. I play along with these drums while my mom and dad sing arabic or turkish prayers. I like all these instruments, but sometimes it's hard to keep up with all of them.

I play two instruments, which are piano and trumpet. I like trumpet better since it is not a individual class like piano. I also like trumpet better since in piano I usually get a lot of notes wrong. I started piano in kindergarten and I started trumpet this year in band. I only need to practice for twenty minutes for 5 days and for piano I have to play for 6 days and for thirty minutes. Those are the instruments I play.

I have played 3 instruments. I am currently playing the piano and last year I played the flute. I also played the violin from 2003 to 2006 (kindergarten to third grade). The instrument I enjoyed playing the most was the violin because it is so melodious and because it always cheers me up. I also agree with Brandon, when you play an instrument it makes you proud that you have a talent.

I play the piano and flute. I started playing piano when I was four and I started playing the flute this year. I think the piano is a bit easier because when you need to hold a note for a long time, you don't have to hold your breath for a long time unlike the flute.
