Instruments in Elementary School

Most people have had some kind of instrument shoved in their hands when they were in elementary school. What was yours?

I got stuck with a recorder, which isn't even a real instrument -_-. Some bootlegged clarinet that was mandatory for all kids to play.

I learned how to play piano when I was about 6 or so. We all learned the recorder, I'm sure. But, my parents forced a violin into my hands in elementary school.... and I didn't like that it was so small, so I tried the cello... too big. So, I quit both of them . I was an indecisive child.

I got violin
By the time my nephews got to 3rd grade, they already downgraded to recorders. They're 4 years+ younger than me.

I started the violin back in 3rd grade because I wanted to.
Granted the only reason I picked it up was because I wanted to go to Disneyland, but looking back, I don't regret it one bit.

[quote=abakre2]What's the point of a recorder anyways...? I always hated that thing. I could never get a good sound to come out of it and it would squeak and whistle when I blew into it.[/quote]
