Any aspies here skilled with any instruments?

Post Reply New Topic

I was just curious about how musically inclined and skilled most aspies were.

I've not the ability

I played the double bass in the 6th grade, but I wasn't that great at it.

Crap! I forgot to add a choice specifically for the people who haven't tried, thus having no idea! That means this can only apply to those that've tried.

I've never tried myself, but I figure I'd have a hard time reading the music notes because I've had trouble learning japanese letters in school.

i am learning to play violin but i keep getting destracted and going on to something else.

i am a prodigious savant with perfect pitch who cannot read rythems.i play mostly by ear and have been doing so since at least 4 years of age.i play piano,clarinet,drums,gutair,flute,trumpet,baratone(with trumpet mouth peice),bells,oboe....basically anything anyone'll let me try,i am good at.i love music and want to play as many instruments as i possibly can.im getting either a violen or a cello(or both if each set of grand parents gets a diff request).im so excited! music is my first and most important and long lasting obsession.it is the only one that wasnt temporary.

I'm a genius at druming my fingers.

I am professonally a writer but I play french horn, trumpet and bass guitar. The brass on a symphonic level. I have sat in with the two nearest symphonies and am on call to one local Lyric opera company.
I am just learning bass guitar. On that I still sound really rather awful, although I am getting it.
I also play by ear - I've never learned to sight read due to a mathematical disability (and musical notation is MATH - let no one tell you otherwise) but I only have to hear a piece once in order to play it all the way through.
I learned trumpet and french horn fingerings visually - and have learned to relate what I hear to the sheet music by going long, longer, longest for the various notation marks, and I'm trying to adapt a similar system for bass clef, but I really learn bass patterns by having my fiancee (a professional flutist and bassist) draw me a picture of where my fingers go and then rotating that onto the fret board. Takes some concentration but it works.

And rock on, blackcat!

I think I'm pretty good at guitar. I play everyday, and I've been playing for more than three years, which is a long time for me. I just practice a lot, and till my fingers hurt.

i don't know how i should know whether i'm skilled...
my teacher gives me excellent (so i suppose that's good), i'm doing the third year trumpet,fourht year reading notes.
i do percussion and experiment with voice and electronic compositions on the computer.

I've mastered the guitar and violin. Just started on the saxophone.
