I play the clarinet, I started to take it formally in high school but because I played by ear and was just copying what everyone else was doing, I got into trouble when the teacher asked me to play from a particular peice of music and I couldn't read the music. He said I would have to start again from scratch but I couldn't be bothered so I quit. Twenty years later my husband bought me one and I have taught myself to play. I can read the music but find it hard and prefer to play by ear. I also play the keyboard, again for fun, again by ear so no grade. I also hve my own business, where I go round nurseries running music sessions for pre-schoolers. I have loads of baby percussion instruments, you know, drums, maracas, bells, tambourines, rain-makers, triangles and the like and I sing nursery ryhmes and do movement sessions with them. I know its not quite pop but I enjoy seeing the little ones love of music blossom.
