How to learn to play an instrument
It made me
Happy
 "With my teacher teaching me there was nothing i could not do with my claranet maybe excpet high note"
How I did it: I had begging band last seimster. I was tought that to play an instrament you need foucus alot. And you need time, Lots of it. I praticed and practiced. Also it helps to have band every day at school. When you practice you need to be in a place where you can say you did a good job. Any where is fine but your room is the best. I pratced alot. Then I went into concert band. And soon we are having our first concert. So all i can say is Pratice and you need a mentor or a teacher to to do it right. Lessons & tips: PRACTICE!!!!!!!!!! ALOT. Resources: Mr.Winx, Mr.Davey ( my band teachers) |

How I did it: I decided to learn the drums.It takes persistence and practice. I don't ever miss my weekly 1:1 lesson with my instructor. I've missed one lesson in the past 1 1/2 years due to work (a few when I was on vacation outside the country) . Just kept at it, and never let the slowness of my learning speed bother me.

How I did it: Basicaly I just tried many instraments to find one I really liked. I want to try the guitar when I'm done with piano. The reson I said one day is because after you lear the notes you have basicaly learned it. After that it is just about building skill. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Loads of practice. I went through several instruments trying to find the perfect one. I started on viola in 3rd grade then switched to piano and when I was 11 I found the flute, which became my primary instrument. Now that I attend music school I wish I kept up with those other instruments. It's one of my goals to relearn them, plus pick up a few more. Read how I did it…

plusran Cello Practice
It made me
Happy!
How I did it: I started the cello in 3rd grade but quit because I was too scared to make mistakes in front of an audience. Twenty years later I saw my little ten year old cousin play in his first cello recital and I knew I could do it too. I got over the fear.I started renting a cello and taking lessons. I feel motivated to practice because i get to play music I like.I de-stress by playing out my emotions on the cello. It helps me … Read how I did it…

I was super into this goal and started taking lessons from a great teacher. And… then I got busy and literally haven’t practiced in a month. I feel guilty and it’s like… well I could just quit. I don’t really want to but I have about 7,000 things to do this summer anyway so I will be forced to take a break soon anyway.
Still, I’m very resistant to the quitting mentality. When everyone in my place wakes up I’ll start practicing.
It’s making me sad and aren’t goals supposed to make you happy? I suppose if they were easy you wouldn’t have to work at them.
Which instrument?
1 month ago
I’ve thought about this one a lot, and as it stands I think my mindset is best suited for playing the piano, or keyboard. Since of those two, I own a keyboard, this seems like the one I am most capable of learning.
Actually, I'd like to learn a few.

I definitely want to learn to play the guitar and piano. I wouldn’t mind playing the drums a bit either, though.

It Didn't Take 14 Years

That’s just how long I’ve been playing instruments. I didn’t really know what to say for that though. I started playing violin when I was five, but then gave up (I was FIVE!) Then, at nine, I began the piano, which I took lessons for up until just last year (2008). In fifth grade, I learned to play the flute, and from sixth grade to now, I’ve played the clarinet. While I was taking lessons for clarinet, I asked my teacher to give me some drum lessons. He obliged, so I have a small bit of knowledge about a drum set (he moved away after maybe 3 lessons…sad, I know). Anyway, I’m teaching myself to play the guitar, and I’m trying to learn the oboe. The oboe is difficult, because the only one I have access to is a piece of crap. We can’t afford to rent/lease/buy one. I’m going to go back to violin lessons soon, because I think the violin is a beautiful instrument.
I have to say, if you want a good basis for all instruments, play the piano. However—I think that if you’re interested in strings, play a string instrument, and if you’re interested in a wind instrument, play one of those. I have done that, but always coupled with the piano. Playing piano gives you a lot of knowledge about notes and junk (ha, that sounds smart). Whatever instrument you take up, always learn some music theory. That will help too.
Good luck, everybody!
