So I have a desire to learn a instrument and don’t know where to start I am 20 years old currently live with my parents and I have mild inteacual disabilities I like listening to mondern Christian worship music it’s what I do in my free time in fact listening to some right now as I’m writing this post so here is my story so when I was a young child like 6 years ago my mom enrolls me and my 2 simblings into Paino lesson now my older Brother did awesome and he is a great Paino player my young sister is playing trumpet for college me well Paino was a challenge for me for a few reasons 1 as a kid I struggled and with Paino i had trouble with fine motor skills and muscle tone which makes things like Paino really difficult and when I was younger I just didn’t have the motivation to practice just wasn’t fun for me it felt like schoolwork now I have thought about relearning it I do have a Paino at home but don’t know if I’m committed or sure if it’s my instrument then fast forward to like 2019 both my brother and sister are doing a performance during my churches Christmas program It was just my brother and sister and I was sitting in the audience thinking 1 they are doing a good Job 2 man I wan to be on stage what is my instrument anyways later on I tell my parents and so they learn so our worship team was looking for a Cajon player and so if you wanted lessons contact a certain somebody anyway so we contact him and so after church one Sunday we were still in the church building but mostly everyone had left then he goes and get his other Cajon And me and my sister was I think also going to learn anyway so I sit and he gives us some instructions and he gave enough direction where I could follow it like ok just hit it but I just didn’t get it even with my brother playing a song and then I look over at my sister as I’m playing and I see she is doing a amazing Job and I compared myself to her which you shouldn’t do but it’s not even fair because she has musical experience played in bands and more Paino lessons then me but anyway so yeah I left that lesson honestly with not much motivation for pratice and so what’s crazy is me and my sister ended up going to Guitar center and getting a Cajon and payed it with my allowance money and it’s still at home in my sister room not being used at all and I’ve barely touched it myself I’ve tried it myself a couple times even with Click tracks just to try to get it and I didn’t get it my sister claims years ago that I don’t have Rythum whatever that means I’ve thought about relearning it but just don’t know about me playing it plus I’ve herd it played in some YouTube videos to some songs and I just didn’t like the sound of it even though I sometimes seeing myself playing the Drums it’s probably not happening and plus in general Drums are Loud and Jake dosent like loud Music or noises for that mater so that’s that the only instrument I’ve considered is Guitar we don’t have one at home the closest I got to playing the Guitar is as a kid I would get the Guitar and move my fingers to one side to the other and mess around with the things at the end that you turn so yeah now I don’t know if that means anything let me know but anyways there is part of me that thinks it’s cool another part of me thinks not so much but that’s beside the point I’ve thought about Lessons I just don’t know and my mom told me She thinks Guitar is to hard for me so yeah and lessons I don’t want to waste anyone’s or my time energy or money if it’s something that dosent intrest me idk what would y’all sudgest?
