wow, Mark. That was a seriously in-depth response! I thought this would be a throwaway question but it's really taken off, here and on twitter. Looks like west coast/upper midwest people tend to use both "by" and "on" quite a lot, unlike midwest and northeast, where "by" is almost exclusive. there's lots of interesting research out there about kids being more linguistically influenced by their peers than their parents...

the oboe I loved!!I was a very good sight reader too, and I mostly just played for the joy, didn't really practice much, just enjoyed playing it and playing in the bad. But when I became a senior in high school and was the only higher level oboe player they moved me to first chair and suddenly there was a lot more pressure and the joy went away and I had too many things on my plate...

Three cool things about my flute playing (and there were plenty of not cool things but .. let's concentrate on the positive) was a) I took lessons in the city (Philadelphia) and got to ride the train alone and wander around South Street afterwards, all as an early teenager and b) it got a bit cool when the flute (or piccolo) was featured in a Men at Work song and c) all my fellow flautists were girls and that wasn't a bad place to be.

Wanted to play guitar, but they didn't offer it at school, so I had to play violin. Only did it for a few months. Eventually I bought a guitar and taught myself to play.

Saxphone... I was horrible. I chalk it up as a huge lessoned learned. Lesson in my mind is "You can be a lover of music, without playing it." I truly love almost all forms of music, but have no patience for the dedication required to be a musician.

Violin until high school (although I did play a little throughout high school) and then trombone for marching band in high school. Dropped both once I got to college. Kinda regret dropping the violin but I just started teaching myself guitar now.

i played viola for about 7 years from about 7 to 14. i continued to play while many of my fellow students i started with eventually dropped it to pursue other things. I was a passable player, and could have been much better had I put in a little more practice each day. It was never something I was going to be good enough to make a living at though.

I played multiple instruments, but my primary ones were (and still are, really) piano, flute, and oboe. I was massively into music growing up, so whenever I had the chance, I learned other instruments. Guitar, trombone, xylophone, trumpet, alto sax, tenor sax, clarinet, cello, French horn, piccolo...those are the ones I can recall off the top of my head. Me learning trombone is probably...

Whole school had a music test when I was about 8. Top 5 students got to learn a musical instrument. I was one of the 5. "What would you like to learn to play?" they asked. "Piano! Guitar!
