Just keep playing. I don't play with aspirations of making money. As long as you enjoy it, that's the real reward in my opinion! ^^
I've been playing drumset since I was 7. Â I had to take a break for a few years because of college and apartment living not being conducive to owning a kit, but that never stopped my passion for music and my desire to learn new techniques and master new styles.
I've played with 4 jazz bands, a swing band, was the regular go-to kid for a local old-man blues group, a smattering of rock and metal bands throughout high school and college. Â Since I moved to New York I've stepped back from performing and I've been focusing on mastering some new styles of music I haven't previously touched.
I also pretend to play guitar but seriously I suck.
Music is my life, man. Â Got the beat in my veins.
I use to play the trumpet? Now I just sing badly at work >.>
I used to play the clarinet and bassoon. But that was like... 5 years ago?

Nothing says you can't pick them back up and play! (unless they were rented >.>
I played the clarinet, relatively poorly, back in high school. I've actually got a keyboard I've been meaning to start learning one of these days.
Despite my questionable musical ability, I'm actually very intrigued by formal music theory and often like to RP bards and other "musical casters" so I can construct systems of metaphysics from music theory.
Yeah, I'm a total nerd.

START LEARNING TODAY! As we speak, I am working my way through the Selbina theme. I consider myself completely self-taught (other than Youtube vids).
I'm a pianist! And funny thing is.. I am NOT fluent in musical notes. ^^ I play by ear and make up my own stuff!
Edit: DOH! Forgot to say I also play the Didgeridoo!

Wicked. I knew a girl who could hear a song then play it it on the piano. Raw talent is raw talent.Â
Music notes ain't hard to pick up, it's the application that's kicking my butt personally.
I play guitar and sing in a shitty, grimy metal band. And no, not posting any vids. We suck donkey dick.

But you have Mr. Waits as your avatar, so you're awesome in my book. Scene from Coffee & Cigarettes with Iggy Pop no less!
I play the sexy tenor saxophone, with dreams of becoming the sexy sax man...er, woman. I've also dabbled in guitar, harmonica, and piano. I'd really love to pick up a mandolin at some point. And a cello. And a sitar. And tongue drums.
I have a lot of musical aspirations.

Saxes are saxy!
I feel your pain in wanting to PLAY ALL THE INSTRUMENTS!
I'm going to expand to tinwhistle here eventually... I bought one, but there's soooo much I wanna learn on the harmonica first.
I occasionally play the flute.
I live with an avid musician who dabbles in music engineering. so my house is full of instruments and recording equipment.
I played the violin for 4 years. Unfortunately, I come from a broken home and it was pawned for other things.
