I used to play clarinet in my highschool band. Worked my way from beginner to first clarinet through the 5 years that I was there, because I actually spent time practicing. I also picked up tenor sax as my second instrument for the band in my 3rd year because we were lacking tenor sax players. I stopped playing when I finished high school, but would pick up my clarinet from time to time and play for my kids.
I also learned to strum chords and sing songs on the guitar on my own. Although, I'm quite bad at playing the guitar.
So you are likely the first professional here who commented :)

Far from reaching professional level. I wouldn't even say I was pretty good at the clarinet, more like a barely minimum competent high school level player. But being in the band was fun. I remember performing in school music concerts each year; going to other schools to play in band meets; playing Christmas music in the school foyer while half the school surrounded the band and sang along; and most fun of all, traveling to different cities with the band to join and play in band meets / festivals.
