Say you were able to pick any musical instrument, and you were granted one wish to play that instrument perhaps better than anyone has ever played it in the history of humankind...which instrument would you choose? Piano, drums, guitar??? Trumpet? Violin? Sax? other? and why?

I cannot choose here, and I am putting this to a vote. My grandfather used to play ragtime on his piano, and the whole room would shake...I am so so partial to piano, using your feet and hands, it's just an unbelievable instrument. I play it, but not nearly well enough to be satisfied, and I dream about just sitting on the bench and belting out rag or rachmaninoff, filling the room with staggering notes. I also LOVE the drums, but I'm too spastic! haha.

I heard the song "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles, and I wanted to learn how to play the guitar immediately. Im talking about acoustic. Im not very good, but Im still learning =] I always had wanted to play the piano and keyboard. So for Christmas one year, I asked for this super awesome keyboard. I began playing about every song you can imagine from The Beatles, and it sounded not that bad actually. Now I keep advancing and hopefully I will be very good someday :) I really wanted to be in band in fifth grade. I wanted to play the trumpet. But the mouthpiece was so small and I couldn't play it :( So the band teacher made me try the trombone--yes, the trombone, I know-- and I could actually play it! That summer I went to the high school once a week so that they could teach me how to play it. So my parents ended up buying me one, and I played that for 3 years. I quit last year because I preferred chorus, but next year I have the choice to do both and I might do that. Vocals count, right? I started singing in the school chorus in fifth grade as well. But I didn't really get into it about a year later when I auditioned for the school musical, and I got into the All County Chorus. The year after, I did band instead of chorus. I really missed it, so I joined back chorus and quit band which was a really good decision because im much happier doing that. 2nd Question: Pretty good. I had some laughs with R&P. 3rd Question: I already had cereal. No more eggs :( Have a good weekend too!

Bass guitar.
I have always wanted a bass. As a plus, if you can play a bass guitar, you can also play a stand-up bass. There are more than a few girl bands in my area, and they are always short on both drummers and bassists. I thought I liked drums until my husband, a former drummer, pointed out the hassles of breaking down a kit to take it to practices and to gigs. Basses are easier. They look cool, too.
(The irony is that there's a perfectly good antique grand piano in the other room--I took lessons for years, and my mom has at least three friends who teach adults. I could probably even get lessons for free. But do I want to play the piano? Noooooo...)

The 6-hole Irish tin whistle. And I already can. Nobody can touch me on tin whistle. Any key, fully chromatic, virtually effortlessly. I have a set of 11 professional ones made in England. They're aluminum, perfectly in tune throughout two octaves. They are the kind they use in River Dance. (by the way, wouldn't nude River Dance be great? but I digress.) I've been playing them for about 6 years now and I've gotten it down. I played trumpet for twenty years before that and had that working pretty good too but the trumpet is never effortless.

Definitely the tuba. I already play it pretty well and LOVE the instrument. I also have one that I borrowed from our local high school. I wish I could afford a good one. I think bass is very important to music, and good tubists are hard to come by (unless you're in the Canadian brass band). Besides, how fun is it to say that I'm a 6"1' Kindergarten teacher who plays the tuba? :-D

The Piano would be my choice. From there, I believe, you can pretty much pick up other instruments and learn them quicker and easier because you know the piano.

The Harp, because we have one. We found ours at a yard sale for $6, it was a divorce sale. I spent more than $50 having it restrung. And no one plays it. But its pretty standing in the parlor.

Violin. The music is heavenly and a the view of a person playing it... beautiful.

Piano for sure. To play like Chopin would be orgasmic.
