Did you ever take lessons of any kind?

[ Edited ]

My cousin took piano, my girlfriends from childhood took accordian. The closest I came was Viola. I had to come back and say, I took swimming lesson! Forgot that one!

 

Did you take any lessons? Even like horseback riding, any lessons?

I still take piano lessons.

 

As a child I took dance lessons as well as piano and flute lessons.

As a young adult, I took guitar lessons for awhile.  That didn't work out real well because I discovered I had to cut my nails down to the quick in order to play the chords.

 

In my thirties, I took ballroom dancing for awhile.  That was fun, but I didn't use it much because I didn't have a partner at the time.

 

I think I just have a short attention span!

French, Chinese cooking, and now Tai Chi.  More recently Italian.  When we converted to Mac had to have multiple lessons, much harder to me than I thought.

 

Ballet around 10 - disaster!  More recently dancing classes with DH he hates to dance - guess how that worked out?

 

Love to learn new things!

I had piano lessons as an adult.    I also took oil painting lessons.  Both were fun and worth the money.

 

Edit:  Oops, I almost forgot that I also took Tai Quan Do lessons.  My son and I took them together. That was way back in about 1989.  I Loved it!

I started piano lessons at age 11 and took them for about 4 years.  Still have all my sheet music.

            I love to learn!   Started at 5 with piano, and over the years I've had numerous classes in dance, voice, art, calligraphy, yoga, tai chi, weaving, knitting/crocheting, timed journaling (therapy), public speaking (Dale Carnegie), and likely more that don't immediately come to mind.   Had a class in management when I became a supervisor for the first time, and they stressed the importance of learning new things...  particularly things that are a wee bit of a stretch...  to keep the mind sharp and agile.
