I've always loved the flute and when I was 35, my husband paid for flute lessons for me...I think for 3 months? I worked hard, practicing 2 hours a day and then when the lessons stopped, my flute teacher invited me to be in her flute choir! That was an amazing experience.
I would say my favorite instrument is the drum. It's like the heart beat in a song and just makes you want to dance when it enters a song. This video is great example of that imo. It starts without the drum then crescendos. Makes you want to dance before the Lord.
