To all music makers
I was wondering, which instrument do you play (including dj set or vocals), how did you start playing it and what makes you keep on making music?
Personally, I play the guitar.
A friend of mine introduced me to a guitar teacher and that's how I got started.
What made me keep playing it though, is the band red hot chilli peppers. Their songs inspire me to play the guitar.

I play guitar as well, how long have you played? Personally, I started out playing classic rock but have gravitated to more calm music. Trevor Hall has become a big inspiration and most of his songs are easy anyways. I took lessons for about 2 years and have played on my own for another 2 years.
I myself play the piano.
Its funny, I personally hated all music when I was a child because we had to practice the recorder in school, and my teacher made theory one of the most boring things on earth. Later on, someone decided to teach piano lessons at my school and after the first day I really enjoyed it.
What keeps me playing is that I really like how the piano sounds, and there are always amazing songs out there that you can learn.

I used to play the guitar. However I wasn't very interested in it and eventually quit, and now I've been experimenting with VST, mostly inspired by DJ's around the web who use the same methods. It's much more accessible that way, and you don't really have to purchase the actual instruments, so most people get to try it and many talents are discovered. It's quite wonderful to be honest.
oh yeah

I've played the guitar for 3 years. What I like to play most is jazz improvisations and rock songs ;P.

I used to hate instruments too. My first year in the guitar was just horrid, I hated to play and didn't study at all.
Turns out all I needed was to learn some songs I really liked.

Interesting, the idea seems quite well thought.
Though, learning music making on yourself or by internet is really hard. I think there should be someone teaching you the rules even if you aim to become a DJ.
