I'm a little rusty, but given time I know I could start playing as proficiently as I used to.
I started with the clarinet, as I was the only person in my class that could make anything other than a high pitched squeel come outta it...then moved on the the alto sax, and the cor anglais.
I played jazz for a school band, performed a few small local gigs.
Played mainly by feel - to this day, I cannot read music, without translating it. eg: writing the letters reprasentative of the notes, but it always worked for me.
I can also play the flute in theory, but cannot make a sound with it, so I stopped trying there...in fact, I haven't played any of these instruments for a while, I kinda lost interest, but I CAN do it.
