I played trumpet in high school. I was good at reading music, but awful at improv.
I wish I could sit down at a piano and just hammer out something by Philip Glass or George Winston. My problem is that I'm too shy about playing. If anyone is within earshot, I can't even practice. Can't even do chopsticks with an audience. Someday I'll get a keyboard so I can just throw on headphones & play to myself.
