Between taking guitar lessons, having music classes in high school, singing four years in the choir (baritone), and being married to a serious pianist and piano

Didn’t start playing piano until I was 26 though.
I scored a 15/16. I can’t believe that I was able to recall so much from the short time I played trumpet in seventh and eighth grade band! WOW!! 🎺
