Musical Musician

I play the saxophone, piano, and guitar. I am great at the saxophone. I can play piano, but I’m not the best. I am learning guitar and I will probably be a good player. I used to play trumpet, but my parents said I couldn’t blow into the instrument.

Now I might be able to play three instruments and you might say that I am a musician. Yes, I am a musician, but I meet people that play more instruments than me. This makes me pretty jealous because I wish I could play so many instruments as them.

I have been thinking about how I want to play so many instruments because I think that that will make myself more musical. Now I look at myself and realized that I have to learn more about the instruments I am currently playing and that I have to learn even more about music itself.

Playing twenty instruments doesn’t make you musical unless you can play music with your heart. Knowing music inside and out along with your instrument makes you a musical.
