Sheesh, what didn't I play?

I started playing flute in 5th grade, and stuck with that until my Junior year in High School. Then I switched to the tuba because our band had very little low brass, that and because chicks dig tuba players. (yeah right). 2nd semester of my Senior year I played trombone in jazz band and bassoon in concert band, also played bass drum in drumline.

I then was a music major in college, (majored on the tuba) where I had several classes where I had to pass tests in numerous instruments (almost all of them) including... voice, piano, clarinet, all precussion, trumpet, trombone, bassoon, flute, violin, viola and conducting. I had some experience in a few of those, and none in others. Obviously I never was "good" at the ones I was learning for the first time, but I passed all the tests.

Surprisingly, I never learned guitar, but thats the way it happened. And yes, I now am a working as a graphic designer/ illustrator. Go figure.
