Hi all,
I'm an adult looking to get into playing an instrument and knowing a bit more about music, my biggest foray into music was a bit of electric guitar when I was 14 and I wasn't great (or the instrument wasn't for me!)
I have a few questions about where to start and what to do, I hope I've given you enough information below to make some suggestions on where to start, instrumentally and musical theory wise (I cannot read sheet music)
I've always liked the idea of violin, mostly because I like fiddling as a music style.
The instruments my friends play are; tenor horn, cornet, guitar, uke, piano. I would like something that I can play with them but probably would lean to playing alongside my friends that play Tenor horn or Cornet (Just for fun not in a brass band). This is the kind of music I'd like to play. Something alongside my friends :)
I like all kinds of music (literally anything from metal to k-pop to big band music) but I prefer jazz as I also dance :)
I'd like something that is relatively mobile so I can take it with me. I would plan to take lessons as opposed to self-teach. I have no noise constraints as I live in the countryside.
Cost wise I'd like something in the £100's as opposed to £1000's.
So I guess my question is where to start? What instrument? What style of music? What to learn first etc.!
Thanks in advance guys!!
