…and is it worth the time? I’m turning 40 and sad I never followed through on fully learning an instrument. I love to sing and am in a community a Capella group but I’d really like to gain better understanding of music theory and feel more self sufficient, as well as have something I can sing with easily. I tend to think piano, as the keyboard layout makes more sense in my mind than guitar. I begged my dad to play violin when I was 3 then gave it up quickly bc I was already a perfectionist and not picking it up quickly enough in my mind. I took piano lessons when I was little for a couple years. I dabbled with self taught guitar. I took drum lessons for a couple years in my 30s (which I loved but don’t think I’ll pick back up for a couple reasons - home environment being one).
If piano, what electric piano would you recommend? I want one with weighted keys and pedals. I think I’d be willing to pay up to $1.5k. I
I’m open to taking lessons for whatever the instrument.
I’m having one of those life crisis things where I’m like…ok my life is almost half over so I want to make sure I really do the things that weighed me down for having not done them. But also that it takes time to learn something and literally can’t do allll the things I want. For those who are music literate…was it worth the hours you spent to learn it? I understand we’re different people with different joys. Thanks for coming inside the journey in my brain :)
