When I started out, all I did was play my trombone.

I used to play drums when I was a kid, play the trombone.

Then when I was in grammar school I played the clarinet, and then, after clarinet I played the flute in college orchestra - besides singing in the college chorus and things like that.

I was in the band when I was a kid, I played the trumpet.

I played the sax at school. I was in marching band.

I played cello in my high school orchestra.

I played trumpet in school once because I joined band because a cute boy played trumpet too. And I was really bad at trumpet.

I got in the school band and the school choir. It all hit me like a ton of bricks, everything just came out. I played percussion for a while, and stayed after school forever just tinkering around with different things, the clarinets and the violins.

After I learned the piano, I went on to learn percussion, the tuba, b-flat baritone, French horn, trombone, trumpet, most of the instruments in the orchestra. Trumpet was my instrument.
