Are you a musician?

I’m just curious to know how many of us here are musicians. It’s interesting to me to see how many creatives there are — that are also dealing with a similar mental health.

I play guitar and piano.

I consider myself to be more of a songwriter than a musician…I’m kind of a sloppy player of instruments…self taught.

This is a ballad I wrote and @zwolfgang played the instrumental version for me.

I can’t sing to save my life, even when drunk.

However, it would be an amazing talent to have.

Likewise, playing piano would be an amazing talent.

I once tried to learn the piano but it didn’t end well… My piano teacher died…

Wow!!! This is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

There has to be a link between creative mindsets & schizophrenia. I refuse to believe otherwise.

I play guitar and mandolin. I want to write songs so I am trying to learn new chords I have a keyboard I’ve never used but once in the year I’ve had it. I should just do it ten minutes a day. I can do that. I know nothing about the piano.

I used to be. I got to perform with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra on the piano when I was a teen. But I now have health issues that keep me from playing piano. It was fun and fulfilling while it lasted

Im on board used to be alto sax, now just guitar and vocals for last 40 yrs. I like to think of the music I make as sending my vibrations through the universe and into the heavens.

I know how to play the viola. I used to play bass guitar but I quit years back. I’d love to pick it back up again for therapy.

Yes. I studied music all my life. I’m now retired and am only a listener. I have a paralyzed vocal chord so am not a strong singer. I played the violin in the Grand Rapids Symphony a couple of years but didn’t keep it up due to driving to rehearsals difficulties. I taught a lot of piano.
@roxanna, people are always looking for people who play the viola because they don’t take the spotlight like a violinist does. Good for you.
