So i have (i think) no mucical talent becasue in school i was always bad at music classes and was behind compared to others also i coudent stand all the noises going on. im not sure why but i wanted a keyboard pinao becasue i like the way they sound, once i got one i tried to have some folks teach me but i imeditly got overwhelmed by eveything that goes into playing an instument.

so by chance is there an affordbale instrument for beginner that can be worked on also what can one do once they learn an instument? is it just a skill to show off to others? i pretty much stink at everything but im trying to improve at life or my life more like it. i was thinking of writting songs or doing covers but im not entirly sure how that works.

my hobbys/interests often change often but thats normal (hopefully) and hopefully no one is getting annoyed by me.

    Starter instruments:

    Ukelele for strings

    Penny whistle for wind instruments (no clue why schools use recorder), followed by harmonica

    Bells for chromatic percussion (what many call a xylophone, but xylophones are made of wood).

    And eventually an electric piano to really learn music theory. But this isn’t a place to start unless you have a professional teacher or you grew up with a piano in the house.

    From those instruments you can branch out to pretty much anything.

    Start by listening to music and trying to pick out the melody, then try to play along to it. Start with simple songs and expand as you feel comfortable. Play around with the instrument to see what sounds good and bad to you. Have fun!
