Do you play any musical instruments?

I used to play the piano and the flute when I was a student. It would be nice to learn them again!

自然な表現

I used to play the piano and the flute when I was a student. It would be nice to learn them again!

1. Alternatively, you can say "play".
Oh, how wonderful! Did you take practical exams when playing the piano and flute as a student? If so, how far did you get with these? What sort of music did you like to play? What made you stop playing? Is there a realistic chance of your starting to play again now?

I just played them for fun, so I didn't know there were such exams. I liked playing Mozart on the piano. I stopped learning them because I started working, and it was difficult to continue taking lessons. I wish I could learn them, but so far, it seems a bit tough.

1. Alternatively, you can say "as a hobby".
That's too bad. Do you have a piano at home? Could you play it in your spare time? Did you play the piano using the notes or only by memory?

I don't have my piano anymore. Besides, I haven't played it for a long time. I could play some music without looking at the sheets.

自然な表現

I don't have my piano anymore. Besides, I haven't played one for a long time. I could play some music without looking at the sheets.

1. "it" was replaced by "one" to indicate that you were referring to any piano, not necessarily yours.
That’s impressive! If you had the chance to play again, is there a particular piece you'd love to relearn first? Also, do you think music still influences your life in other ways, even if you’re not playing now?

I want to learn "Canon" by Pachelbel as the melody makes me relax. I'm not sure how music influences my life, but I like playing the piano because I can forget everything during that time.

自然な表現

I want to learn "Canon" by Pachelbel, as the melody makes me relax. I'm not sure how music influences my life, but I like playing the piano because I can forget everything else during that time.

1. Use a comma to separate different clauses.
2. "else" was added to emphasize that while playing the piano, the speaker can forget everything other than the act of playing.
That’s such a peaceful piece to reconnect with. Do you think playing music helped you manage stress or stay balanced when you were a student? If you had a bit more free time, how would you like to include music in your daily routine?

It truly helped me relieve stress. If I wanted to include music in my life, I would buy a digital piano so that I could play it whenever I want.

1. "want" was replaced by "wanted" to agree with the conditional tense used in the sentence.
