Did anyone learn an instrument in school just to get out of lessons.. I learnt the cello and when I picked it I didn't even know what a cello was. Had the shock of my life when I saw it. Lol

I had piano/keyboard lessons but never got Out of any lessons because of it.

Just used to be a dick in class and usually that got me out of the lesson.

I said I wanted to learn the guitar but I was told they didn't teach that. So they gave me a violin instead. Well. They both have strings I was told...

Anyway, the violin was good as it taught me music so I taught myself guitar and it became my life basically. Even bought me a house so was certainly worth doing.

I wanted to learn the guitar but we had to have our own. I borrowed my sisters and took it in to school but because it had metal strings not nylon they said I wasn't allowed to use it and meant I couldn't get guitar lessons

I was the star music pupil in early years at secondary school and was given trumpet lessons. For some reason I hated it. I wonder whether things might have been different had it been piano or French horn...

Used to play the violin and was in the school orchestra. It was great as orchestra practice was a couple of lunchtimes a week. Got priority queue for school dinners on practice days!

I put my name down for violin, but the music teacher didnt like me so not surprised i wasnt picked. Probably saved my parents a lot of pain though.

As a late 40's adult i'm now 3 years into learning the cello, its great even though i dont have much musical talent....
