Do you play any musical instruments?

I used to play piano for elementary school to high school, but I totally can't play piano now since I haven't played for while. I can read music though. I'd really like to practice piano again, and will be able to play La Campanella that was made by Franz Liszt someday.

Thank you very much for your careful corrections.
It's not just grammatically correct, but it also requires a lot of brainpower to think about what sounds natural as an expression.
I'll continue to do this over and over again.

I learned the piano in childhood too. You’d be surprised at how quickly that knowledge returns. I still definitely can’t play Liszt! Even at my current skill level, I have fun, though. I’d love to play Rachmaninov, but that would take a long time too!

I used to play piano forom elementary school to high school, but I totally can't play piano at all now since I haven't played for while.

"totally" is normally not used in a negative context. "can't X at all" is more standard.

I'd really like to practice piano again, and willhope to be able to play La Campanella that was made by Franz Liszt someday.

"will be able to" is a very definite statement, but the first part of the sentence "I'd like to" is much less definite, so it doesn't really fit.

I've started learning piano this year! I can read music notation (though not fast enough to play in real time) and have a few little melodies I've learned.

Before that I had failed attempts at learning guitar as a teenager, and when I was in primary school I was taught a couple of songs on the tin whistle (a traditional type of Irish flute), but I never really got far.

I used to play piano forom elementary school to high school, but I totally can't play piano nowthese days, since I haven't played for a while.

An idiomatic replacement for "I haven't played for a while" is "I'm out of practice", should you prefer to use it instead.

I can read musical notation, though.

Plain "music" is okay, but "musical notation" is more definite, especially if you're talking about stuff like staves, clefs, and notes.

Titles of works are best indicated by enclosing them in quotation marks; but, if you are writing in something that supports fancy formatting, you can italicize titles instead.

At the risk of stating the obvious: you have to find time to take classes (that accept adults) and practice in places that let you rent out pianos and other instruments. Stuff only happens when you put in the effort, be it learning foreign languages or learning music. Good luck!

Describing a duration: from X to Y

I can readstill read (sheet) music though.

I would add "still" as emphasis since you are talking about how you retained some of your skills

This "language" of music notes is referred to as sheet music

I'd really like to practice piano again, and willto be able to play La Campanella that was made by Franz Liszt someday.

You can say "I'd really like to practice..." but "I'd really like to will be..." is not grammatically correct. Removing the "will" makes it work

Great job
