 Re: What holds me back...

On the other hand, and somewhat contrary to my previous post, I have to say, I have never met a music instrument that I didn't like, and I can play almost anything, given the opportunity and time.

I started on clarinet, then learned a little trumpet, then all the various recorders (including the bass!), then the violin, flute, the hammered dulcimer, the oboe, English horn, and the saxophone. If I had another lifetime, I would seriously consider percussion.

And of course, there was that one time when (as a classroom music aide) I had to quickly learn enough trombone and baritone to explain it to beginning band students . . .

I think this is typical of school music teachers. But I do think one is wise to have a primary instrument, and to develop fluency on it, and know its repertoire.
