I played for many many years... I haven''t played in a while, but I feel confident that after a few sessions of playing around to get my bearings back, I could play it again no problem. However, playing instruments comes very easily to me- I can pick up almost any instrument and teach myself how to play it. It may be harder to get back into if music doesn''t come as naturally to you, or if you don''t have much memory of it.
I think its going to be hard work but hopefully I will be able to learn and get some enjoyment out of playing again. I used to love it.. I can''t even remember why I gave it up. Probably to do with a boyfriend or something equally important at age 14!Date: 4/23/2009 9:35:15 AM

I played in high school and still pick up my clarinet now and again. It doesn''t all come flooding back--in fact it''s frustrating to pick up an exercise book and fumble through exercises that used to be simple. A good friend of mine used to play the flute and decided to start playing again last year. She said it took her a few months to get back to the level she was before she quit. So not immediately, but not too long, either. Good luck!
I used to love it too. I was never going to make my fortune playing clarinet but I was ok at it. Maybe I will be better at it this time around.Date: 4/23/2009 4:19:35 PM
