My family was always big on music so I think I started learning to play the keyboard at around 6 then at 8 I wanted something new so I picked up the violin and have been playing since! Started teaching myself ukelele and guitar about a year ago! Though the violin remains my favourite
Edit: I truly believe one is never too old to start learning!
I play many instruments. I started learning when I was a young teen and old enough to be left home alone – maybe 12? Mum always said not to touch her instruments unless she was around, but I had a fear of failure. So, I started teaching myself while no one could hear my mistakes.
I don’t play well, to be clear, but I happily make enough noise to encourage a sing-along after a few drinks!
Asian American. We are basically required to play something. The stereotype for Koreans is piano or violin lol. I started playing when I was 5. Moved onto flute when I was in middle school
Yes, piano, which I took lessons for starting in maybe fifth grade and until junior year of high school, when I switched to voice lessons. I’ve lost most of my ability by now from not practicing, though!
I also taught myself ukulele about a decade ago and I pick it up on and off. I’m not good but being okay at ukulele is pretty easy.

I play the Piano. I started learning it around 6 or 7, a lady down the road from my family liked me and offered to teach me.
