Learn to play a musical instrument

My capoeira group is having a music workshop tonight at a friend’s house. I’m hoping this will be a great chance to really learn some songs and instruments.

For the record, I was getting down on the berimbau last class. Nothing to fancy, I was still having a hard time holding it, but I was definitely getting some good sound out of it, to the point that others were complementing me on it. I’ve got class again tonight and I’m looking forward to it.

Last week I got my first chance to practice playing the musical bow that I hope to learn. I still have a long way to go, but my first lesson went very well. Also, I’m getting pretty good at playing the pandeiro, though I still have trouble playing and singing at the same time.

I’ve always wanted to know how to play a musical instrument, but have never really perused it. I think the problem was that I never really understood what I wanted to learn. I know what it is I want to learn and why I want to learn it. The berimbau is an awesome instrument with a really cool sound, not to mention you just don’t see very many of them around. Wish me luck!
