#24I've played classical piano since I was 5 (so, 22 years now). I'm a senior software engineer and have always focused on math and development.
I always thought that classical music was extremely mathematical and, to me, made the most sense. However, I'm interested to hear how many of you are able to play jazz (or anything with improv). I studied under a jazz pianist in college and, although I had a decent grasp on the theories and chord structures, fell flat on my face during any form of improv.
I play a lot of guitar as well, but the above remains true -- more rhythm guitar and "messing around with chords" and no "lead guitar" improv.

#25I played the tuba in HS and college. In college i was in the marching band and basketball band. Twice a year, all the band alums are invited back to play with the band, again. I would love to play more often, but spending $6K for sousaphone is a bit more than what I would be willing to pay

#27Nothing seriously now. In the past: sax, harmonica, lap dulcimer. Was working on teaching myself how to play the banjo I had made some time ago, but I seem to have forgotten what I'd learned about that.
