I play the violin (that's the one I'm best at), the ukulele (2nd best), the piano (I haven't really played for a few years), and the guitar (absolute shit). The piano was first; I thought musicians were cool and my neighbor was a piano teacher, so that happened. Violin was next; my sister played it, and, being an impressionable kiddo, I wanted to play it like she did. I've been taking lessons and/or class for 7 years. Next was guitar. My Granny had a garage sale and there was a guitar, so I thought, "Hey, why not play that?" And so I bought it. Then I bought the ukulele about a year ago and I picked it up pretty quickly. Despite all this, I want nothing to do with music as a career.
