I read and write music, learned in school, theory and alll of that, played in bands (concert and marching band)in elementary thru High school and afterwards in organized club bands, both instruments....drums and saxophone (xylophone) also....took these then transposed and took a few lessons on keys but thats all self taught......so yeah I play there is quite a few musicians on ill at different levels though, I wish I had really learned piano early on though that skill applies to so much you can do, especially composing and sequencing other instruments...
