I got kicked out of my piano class when I was 10. I had this barking mad instructor named Madame Zsalinsky. She dressed like the love child of a witch and a gypsy, and she was a total space cadet. Anyway, she found out I was playing by rote, and when I refused to learn to read music and told her it was a waste of time, she kicked me out. My mother was less than thrilled. Apparently piano lessons are expensive.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing!
Used to play descant, treble and tenor recorder. Got to grade 5 on clarinet and am self taught on the piano which I still play now.
Guitar is my main instrument. Huge Dream Theater and John Petrucci fan (I have his Ernie Ball signiture guitar w/ piezo) I have big drum kit also I play around on. Midi Keyboard also to mess around on.
I was raised on piano, and I still like it best. I'm actually very glad I got taught to read music - it tells you when to go up, and go down, and usually by looking a song, I can get a very good idea how it's going to go. (And everybody else just kinds of stands behind me and waits for me to tell them if it's the wrong song, or when they don't know it.)
Being able to read chords/tabs and sheet music is awesome if you get to play with other people. Chords let you learn to improvise your own style, but you can still play a song, note for note if you need to.
I also know enough on guitar to fake most songs, so I can vocal to them. I actually got pretty good at bass guitar when I was younger, and I got to play in some celtic and blues bands. Turns out bass isn't all that useful if you're by yourself though. I'm still working on my coffee house gig.
My hubby also used to play bass. We met playing in bands. His band opened for mine. *chuckle* He won't play anymore though.
My sister went from piano, to flute. GO figure... how's that translate?!
My latest endeavor... getting through all the songs from Guitar Hero II on Expert...

I wish I was a fish I wish.
I have a bass, strat and an acoustic guitar. Can't play anything more then scales and twinkle twinkle on any of them... yet.
Played around with a tin whistle and harmonica. In grade school I tried flute and trombone.
The digeridoo is the only instrument I can kinda play OK. It only has one note so no music theory is required. I just haven't got the circular breathing thing down yet.
The casio keyboard is fun to mess around with. My son has drums and an assortment of precussion instruments we all play around with.
