How long has it been since you last played your musical instrument?

Before my first baby was born (well, we bought a house and I got promoted at the same time, so it wasn't exactly the babies fault).

I treated myself to a classical guitar and had been taking lessons and then all the above happened.

I'd love to get into it again, but I went back to my first love, writing. So, while I gave it up, hopefully temporarily, I have set it aside for something creative, that I enjoy and that I am turning into a career...that way I can live creatively without working in a cubicle.

Dear Violette -
Thanks for sharing your story with us. You must have had a strong desire to learn the guitar in order to go out and buy one for yourself. Way to go! I tried to learn the guitar once (my husband plays) but my fingers are double jointed and don't do too well on the strings so I had to stick with the piano. The reason I asked the question is I moved my piano to the basement and ever since then I have found myself uninspired to play it in that location. It faces a blank wall with no windows with my back to the door and the feng shui is just all messed up. Otherwise I used to play it all the time.

As for doing your other love, writing, anytime we can get out of a cubicle and express ourselves through the greatest communication on the planet - the written word, we have truly arrived at our creative expression! Cheers to you.

P.S. I've spent many years in a cubicle so I know how it feels to be there and how it feels when you get out. Yipeeeeeeeee!

The only music instrument I learned how to play is the flute but a kids flute. It was when I was in primary school. I stopped after I was not in a class where I had to play it. I loved it but my parents did not have the money to send me somewhere else to learn it more or another instrument. I would love to be able to play piano, violin and guitar.
