How To Know Which Music Lesson Is Right For You?
Mothers, fathers, grandmothers, and grandfathers
You are not to old to play the piano!
Playing The Keyboard
Piano, in various ways, can be an easy instrument to learn to play.
Not like struggling with the strings on a guitar or bass,
piano requires only that you lay your hands across the keys slightly curved and tap the notes several at a time (chord).
Basic keyboard playing does not require that you possess special super fingers.
Healthy hands and fingers are all that's needed.
Although longer fingers and nimble fingers can be a welcomed advantage.
Obviously, Churches and music organizations are always in need of pianist, I place special emphasis on encouraging students to learn piano. Understanding music theory on the piano gives the greatest advantage in understanding how music is put together. Guitarists and bassists who are familiar with playing the piano are usually more versatile and creative on the string instruments.
If not a first choice, try piano as a secondary instrument.
Composing songs is much more convenient on the piano.
Playing The Bass guitar
Bass guitar is the easiest of all electronic instruments to learn.
Usually one note is played at a time,
thus minimizing how many things you have to concentrate on.
Bass guitar is played on 4 (Big!) strings.
5-string Bass guitar is presently the current standard
after going through a season in adjusting to the big strings on a bass,
it's smooth sailing from then on.
Playing The Electric Guitar
Rhythm guitar is played on 6 (tiny) strings.
Guitar is by far the most difficult of all electronic instruments to learn. Its difficultness is largely due to the challenge of disciplining your left-hand fingers to bend at many angles simultaneously.
Generally, it takes a good season to condition your fingers for playing the guitar.
After adjusting to the physical aspects of playing the guitar, playing eventually becomes easier.
I recommend learning the guitar only to those that are very, very patient, don't mind short finger nails, and who can endure the challenges of hours and hours of playing.
Taking Voice Lessons
Voices lessons can be very helpful and informative for those who desire improvement. My experience as a voice coach has made it clear that most people are in need of voice discovery rather than voice improvement.
Many of the techniques that making singing effective are unknown to most people.
In like manner, most people are not even familiar with what range they sing in, voice tone, etc. Voice lessons usually begin with discovering what type of voice you have and what your strengths and weaknesses are as a vocalist. After voice discovery, you are more ready to work on voice improvement techniques.
