How to learn an instrument
It made me
Feel Good
 "Now for the Sax solo!"
How I did it: Well, what can I say, I'm terrible at it, but the goal wasn't "learn how to play properly". I always used to joke that I'd like to learn how to play the saxaphone. then one christmas, out of the blue, my parents got me one! I can kinda blare out a few tunes, and improvise. Improvise "well" however, that's another story.... Lessons & tips: learn to play music you like, not that shitty generic crap they give you in "how to play" books.

How I did it: I joined the school orchestra in 5th grade. I don't remember exactly how long it took me to actually learn how to play it but I played for 8 years. I was in my school's orchestra all 8 years and took private lessons for at least 2 or those years. I would have been better if I had practiced more. So I would suggest to those that truly want to learn how to play an instrument well, to set plenty of time aside for practicing. Have plenty of p… Read how I did it…

I love my Apple. I hope in the future I can play some intrument for him or with him. That’s very romantic. That’s about living instead of just surviving.

It all started three months ago. I had a new subject in school; music. I was so unsure because im way better at Art. Maybe even drama. Yet i choose music. I did it because I need to have fun and do what i feel for even if i dont know exactly how to do it. Plus i do know how to sing and dance…
First lesson i learned two acords to Stand By Me on guitarr. Second lesson I learned the intro to Final Countdown on piano and also the two first lines in the swedish song “Himlen runt hörnet” (heaven around the corner) on piano as well. I love this!
I said to myself I gotta try to develop even more and i probably will this summer, fall.
Right now in music class we are doing a project. Me and three of my friends are making a musicvideo and i wrote the lyrics together with a friend and will coreograph/sing. Hope it will go well :)
Wish me luck!

The Harmonica
10 months ago
I bought a cheap harmonica about 3 years ago with a lot of enthusiasm about learning to play it. I started the first few weeks ok but then I got bored practicing the same tune trying to get it right. I felt sad for my neighbours who must be hearing my attempts to play over and over again and maybe conscious i wasn’t progressing fast.
I think I need to go for it again but if I’m boring myself I need to try new tunes.

I’ve always wanted to play something, but I grew up poor and we couldn’t afford no fancy music boxes. It’s a toss up between piano and sax, any thoughts?

Spring cleaning my list so marking this one off.
Although I didnt learn a new instrument I already learnt piano and flute so I reckon I can still count this one as done ;)

I can read music, so thats a head start.
I can play piano and flute – but I wana learn something different!
I cant really do this at the moment as I live in a flat so my neighbours wouldn’t be too happy with me practising…
I’m thinking Sax, drums, harp… anything would be cool! Guitar is out the window – I tried teaching myself but It hurt my fingers too much – I swear my fingers weren’t stong enough to hold the strings down properly!
