If I wasn't so far behind in my studies with the piano, I would! I have to relearn chords and note groups.

I spent years in piano lessons and all I can play are the scales and Greensleeves.

Mary Had A Little Lamb is pretty easy too. Try it in whatever key lets you play just the black keys for it.

I wish I knew how to play piano. *wistful sigh* My friends bought me a keyboard for Christmas last year, but I'm afraid I haven't made any move to learn yet.
I used to play French Horn, but it's been 5 years... =(

French horn is awesome. I remember being in introductory band in school and being prohibited from playing it for whatever reason. The teacher was kinda weird.

I studied piano for ages, got really good, was in the school band in 04, it involved a number of public performances, then school ended, i moved out of home, and i didn't have a piano anymore. fast forward to 07, my housemate has a piano and i started learning again, only to find that i'd forgotten everything but chopsticks and a piece that mum had taught me. I'm getting to the point now where i can recognise notes.
The most complex things i can play are: "He's a Pirate" (The part at the end where Jack's huming and singing "a pirates life for me" is where it starts, and plays through the credits.) Pirates of the Caribbean. I think Hans Zimmer composed it.
And the first two and a half pages of "The Heart Asks Pleasure First" the main theme for the movie "The Piano" Composed by Michael Nyman.

I do like piano. Harpsichord more, but the piano is a classic stand by.

If brass instruments weren't so darn expensive I would buy one. *sigh* I really loved playing the french horn. It can be kinda difficult, so maybe the instructer decided to hand pick the kids to play it?  Who knows? I didn't think it was too bad, but I may have blocked out any difficulties I had learning it back in 6th grade. =P |

I had long arms, so he put me on trombone.
I've always wanted to learn violin. My brother played viola long after I got sick and tired of trying to be any good with music.

I played some violin in elementary school. Wouldn't even know how to hold it right if I picked one up now, but I do love the way they sound.

I had long arms, so he put me on trombone. That, sir, is a crime. XD I tried to learn trombone for a few weeks, but I couldn't adjust to bass clef after playing in treble for so long. My sister wanted to learn the cello, but that didn't last very long. I believe her's was also a clef issue (alto). She play(ed)s the clarinet. |

My father wanted me to play clarinet, I got the bass clarinet...which looked like something out of Star Wars.
