Have you ever wanted to learn a musical instrument?

I wanted to learn the guitar. Tried to learn on my brother's, but gave up.

I've always wanted to learn to play the piano and guitar but don't have the luxury of time as i'm working. hmm. If ever i'd find someone good who can teach me both then I'd probably manage to find time for it. It's really sad though that we have a piano in the house but no one in the family likes to play. I think my siblings have already forgotten how to play it since i've never seen anyone play for years now. It's just really interesting when someone knows how to play a musical instrument.

We wanted to learn the guitar, I even surprised my husband with one for his birthday several years ago. We fiddled with it, he learned a few chords from his employees, but overall, we still do not know how. The neck of it broke a couple of years ago, so probably will not be learning on that. Music is such a powerful thing, I suppose we were hoping to be able to make some, for our own amusement. We did end up making several digital albums, some of them with classical music. It is not the same as actually playing the music, but composing was fun and inspiring. Life has become more busy and I have been unable to make any more, but it was a fun experience while it lasted.

It's easy to learn if you love what you are doing. :)

of course. I know how to play guitar and drums. And now I am studying how to play violin. Its sound perfectly for my mood. Soft and mellow.

I've seen people, teenagers, that get so overwhelmed with the need of performing well in the musical area due to parental pressure. Having music as solely a hobby is good enough for me, and i encourage you to learn it. Everyone starts out as amateurs, and as long as you put in the effort, you will improve. I myself am perfectly capable of performing on the piano and violin, but I find no need to turn my interests into competitive tools. Music is for you to enjoy. Don't give it such an ambitious purpose. Don't give up on what you would like to do.

This is rather a difficult question to answer with any real surety. The idea of having the ability does appeal to me, but not to the extent that I would be prepared to take the time to learn one. Musical instruments can be very hard to learn and must involve a lot of dedication to reach a respectable standard, which would probably be enough for me to lose interest. I have no problem with studying and practicing something for long periods, although it would have to be something that I was very passionate about and not just something that I fancied knowing.

I suggest learning how to play keyboards, you can study music theory from there and then you can check out other instruments. I went with the guitar, been playing for more than 5 years now and it is awesome! Specially when writing your own song. You could just play as a hobby, no need to be a rockstar, just appreciate it. If you are ahy, make sure to practice hard so you would have confidence when you need it, playing can not be perfected, learning in a lifetime. Start now, better than never.

I havealways wanted to learn to play a musical instrument and play it well. I just feel that I dont have the natural talent to follow through with it. the gift just seems to pass me y.

a pleasant day to you gwngsh, with reference to your post, well, honestly speaking, i am a frustrated keyboardist learner. as i remember during my college days, i used to do it on a self-study basis, as we don't have an extra money for me to enroll in a music school. so i just decided to study it on my own. but as time goes by, i need to focus on my main college course so i give it up for a while. but i haven't find a time then to go back on the music lessons. until i forgot how to do it again. as a result, i was not able to continue my keyboard self study though.

I always wanted to learn guitar, especially electric guitar but because of lack of time and money I never got a chance to learn guitar.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well yes u are absolutely right, playing a musical instrument by yourself is such a refreshment and it gives peace and solace to mind and body. Besides i have always aspired to learn a musical instrument so that i can gel with the music very well. I wish to play guitar or flute as i find them very interesting instruments. What say?

I have learned the bamboo flute.It was a hard time for me at the beginning.Because it was so hard to make a sound.My teacher was so patient with me,he taught and showed me in person over and over again,and finally I made it.After times of exercise,I can play some simple composition.But now I no longer play that because of my busy work.

I tried to learn how to play the piano. I got frustrated, gave up, and moved on. I kinda regret letting the frustration get to me. Then, I've secretly wanted to learn how to play the electric guitar and drums. What stops me--reading music.

Although I know how to play the piano/keyboard, still want to learn a new musical instrument like playing the guitar since I am the only one in the family that doesn’t know how to play the guitar. It’s in away knowing another skill and is quite helpful in terms of learning how to entertain through music.

I wish i could play the grand piano solo in the big stage or luxury ball room, and attract the audiences.

I am frustrated to learn how to play a guitar. It was my dream before, to play guitar. I had my tutor before but unfortunately in the middle of the sessions of training me, he passed away because of his hidden illness. So I did not have that chance to learn how to play a guitar anymore. So frustrating.

I always want to learn to play the guitar, even just the guitar. One time, an acquaintance of mine did really her best to teach me, as to her, she learned playing it in their church and she wanted to share it. I was even convinced to attend their masses though my belief is a bit different from them, after all it is only Him we praise. But due to inevitable happenings, i quit. Don't get me wrong, i never quit learning the guitar, just learning it being taught by her. That was 2 years ago, up until now, the passion is still like before but I came to realization that if its not really meant to be, it can't be. Even just the basic of possessing fingers to fit on the guitar was a NO,NO. I had long fingers but never did fit to the chords, such a failure. But hey I had a guitar, I'm just really not a pro in playing it.

Dont give up on learning how to play a musical instrument. When I was a kid I had this influence from my father and elder sister to have passion for music. The first instrument I learned is guitar. I admit that it is not easy specially if theres no one who have time to teach you. All I got is a guitar chords guidebook and an old guitar. It takes months of practice to play guitar continuosly so I practice everyday. I really want it badly thats why I tried my best to learn by myself. Now, Im starting to learn keyboards and Im slowly memorizing the chords. I hope this advice will help you stick on to your dreams. Dont stop trying, just believe and put hardwork on learning to play musical instrument.

I really want to learn how to play a guitar...i am a singer.... i perform in a bar but most of the time i play minus one music....... i'm planning to do accoustic songs and want to play guitar myself.
