Which Musical Instrument to Learn?

Im back on the internet once again in the aftermath of my strange ISP went kaput. I do not have much to talk about nonetheless I managed to discover the following musical instruments blog post today. I hope you dig the idea. I wasnt positive with regards to posting this blog. In some cases I think about if a few of these stuff are even adequate to report nonetheless I reckon I will put it up anyway and trust you find some worth in the post.

Which Musical Instrument to Learn?

The most important decision after signing up your child for musical education is choosing the right musical instrument.

On the outset, people may think that it is not too hard to decide; just pick any interesting instrument. But parents know how hard it is to decide; after all, they will be investing a lot of money in the musical education and they don’t want to choose something that the child is not too sure of. What if the child quits playing it for some reason or the other? It is panic time for many parents since they don’t know much about the field.

Parents make their decisions based on various factors. If they are worried about expenses, they simply choose the music instrument that costs less. If they are attracted to status and fame, they simply choose the most “groovy” instrument. Some parents choose the instrument that their friends’ children play. And some just go for the regular ol’ piano.

Some parents are simply at their wits’ end and they meet up with any teacher that has placed their ad in the newspapers. After consulting with the teacher, they impose their “wisdom” on their young children. Some parents want to fulfill their own unfulfilled wishes through their children, and unknowingly convince their children to take up the musical instrument that they wanted to learn. If they always wanted to learn the violin but couldn’t, they force their children to learn to play the violin.

I have faced some funny and outright ridiculous situations when helping parents choose the right instrument for their kids. When I suggested the piano for a child based upon my observations about his personality, age and other factors, his mother rejected the idea because she wasn’t sure how the piano would suit her home’s interior design! And another parent did not like the idea of carrying an accordion to class and back! And a third one thought that a wind instrument would make a lot of noise and disturb everyone at home.

Dear parents, choosing the right music instrument for your child depending on his/her likings, personality, age and more factors is the most important decision of his/her musical education. Your child must love the instrument deep within the heart and this is the primary factor in maintaining unchanging interest in music.

So how do you make this important decision? Well, things are not so easy and free for that matter. Be ready to invest some of your time for your kid, and you will reap its unending benefits.

Some more important factors, apart from age and personality of your child, are his/her height and build. Some instruments require certain specific physical features to be able to be played properly.

Don’t make your decision without knowing all such factors simply by speaking to a private music teacher; there’s a strong chance you’ll be influenced. You will agree to the musical instrument that the teacher is bent on teaching; not which your child really wants.

Q&A:

Question by TellinNoLie: Is Anyone Tired of auto tune?
I just want to see what people besides me think about the most used “instrument” in the music world. I’m kinda getting tired of it myself. Songs are starting to sound all the same. (Like computer has took over real musical instruments). I like how music was back in the late nineties and early 2000s when singers had to have talent to be pros. I’m so tired of music nowadays that I’m even starting to listen to songs that were made b4 I was born. Is it just me that feels like this? And I’m trying to talk to people who really like music. Maybe even some people around my age. (By the way I’m just 14 years old. I should b tired of music around my 40s?)
Oh yeah not just auto- tune music, but hip-hop songs too. I’m getting tired of these rap songs like Gucci Mane and soulja boy. Rap used to be so cool b4 they came. There rap technique is to simple and annoying. the only thing there good at is making good beats.

Answer by Steph
Tbh, i dnt mind electoniacally edited insturments.
But i hate autotuned voices … theres nothing worse!

Btw, its only mainstream hip-hop that uses electronicly edited sounds in theire music.
Listen to mos def ect. Most underground rappers rap to jazz music or classical etc

But remember thats what u pay for
Look at pink floyd, there one of the best bands in the world because they use natural instruments, live themselves

But most teenagers our ages (im 16) like the type of music in todays charts … so i just learn to let them listen to sh*t, & ill listen to the real music

+ Gucci mane and Souljah boy shouldnt even be classed as hip-hop, rap but not hip-hop because they dont actually do hip-hop

Hip-hops a culture & artist usually rap over jazz, so people dont judge hip-hop based on young money

id say a good 80% if not more of chart music is autotuned
