At the risk of asking a question that (I’m sure) has been asked hundreds of times in this subreddit… music! Where the heck do I start?
I didn’t grow up playing music, nor did I grow up in a household with parents who played music. I remember being 14 and convincing myself that I was “too old” to learn an instrument. Now, 10 years later, I’m kicking myself for not starting then.
I have no desire to play music professionally. I just really love listening and singing along to my favourite songs… music brings me a lot of joy and a sense of calm.
So… where should I start? How do I choose an instrument? Should my choice be informed by the kind of music I enjoy? (I really love Esperanza Spalding, Roy Ayers, Hiatus Kaiyote and D’Angelo
P.S, lucky to be dating a multi-instrumental (drums, keys, bass, guitar, violin, trumpet, trombone) music teacher who is willing to help me learn!
