Learning to play the piano, guitar and drum kit can also be worthwhile, but you will miss the opportunity to join the range of orchestras and bands available to woodwind, brass and bowed string players: music for orchestra/wind band/swing bands requires, at most, one piano, guitar or drum kit player, making opportunities for players of these instruments far fewer.
Listen to these pupils perform and describe their experiences before you take up an orchestral instrument of your own.

All pupils are encouraged to take up an orchestral or 'band' instrument: an instrument which will give them the opportunity to join one or more of the many ensembles at Tiffin, at university, and beyond. Like a team sport, belonging to a musical group can offer the most satisfying and motivating musical and social experiences. Taking up one of these instruments will offer a pupil the opportunity to join an ensemble such as a: Symphony Orchestra, String Orchestra, Swing Band, Wind Band, Brass Band, String Quartet, Wind Quintet, Jazz Band, Concert Band and more. Many of these groups rehearse at Tiffin each week. Some can be joined after only a few weeks' playing experience.
