I wanna learn to play an instrument...
I have always loved music and wan't to learn to play something. I like to challenge myself and this is the next thing I want to get into.
Is there any particular instrument you guys may suggest that is a good starting point? I have always thought of playing the piano, guitar and harmonica, in no particular order. Any thought are appreciated as always. .02 |
check out your local community college. Mine offers a beginning piano class and hen works its way up from there

Piano is probably the most versatile of all instruments. You have all the notes (some pianos have an extra) and the repertoire is huge.

yep, piano is probably the easiest to grasp visually, and takes the least amount of practice to start to sound like something. Of course, you can take a harp just about anywhere.

I say go for the guitar. You can't take a piano to the park or beach.:D
I play guitar, drums, and a bit of piano. I personally think the guitar was easiest, but maybe that's because I found it to be the most fun.:D |

Trumpet's by far the easiest brass instrument. |

The instrument you chose also depends on your personality. If you start learning piano, keep in mind you will spend many hours facing a wall by yourself. |
As someone who learned the flute, and who is the father of a professional musician, I would strongly urge the piano as a first instrument. the reason may not be what you would think.
As a flute player, or clarinet, or almost any other instrument, you "see"music as a horizontal stream. A keyboard player "sees" the entire chord structure--music as a vertical concept, as it were. Notes are related to other notes played at the same time. Your appreciation of the theory of music will be enhanced as a keyboard player. After you have that understanding, picking up almost any other instrument is easier. |

I play nine instruments...comprised of the woodwind, percussion, strings, and keyboard families.
My first instrument was the guitar, and by far the easiest to become accomplished as a musician. That's what I would recommend. The piano gets you the ability to branch into any instrument you desire...but reading piano charts is more difficult. Also consider investment...if you somehow become frustrated at the whole idea, which would you have rather wasted your money on? A guitar? Or a piano!!?? |
