Q. I want to learn how to play an instrument.Any suggestions for a beginner?preferrabley something easy but not a tube or flute or anything that you blow into(i couldn't even master the recorder)
A. definately piano. its where most musicians start. including me. it teaches u the basic chords. and its pretty fun (but depends if u enjoy the type of music ur playing)
What's a good instrument for an adult with 6-inch hands? Used to be a violinist, but that was too big.?
Q. I'm a music major, and I've recently found out that even a 3/4 size violin may be too big for me. I'd really like to continue playing some instrument, even if I am going into composition.
Note: I cannot reach an octave on the piano. And the clarinet is also too large for me.
A. Well, the harmonica is a nice small instrument. Have you tried a recorder? The soprano recorder is quite small and though it is not in common usage today, it does have a demand in colonial settings (I used to play recorder professionally at Colonial Williamsburg - although they call it the English Flute). There is also the piccolo (it is basically a tiny flute with a higher pitch), drums (I don't think hand size would matter much in drumming), and keep in mind there are violins smaller than a 3/4. And although not being able to reach an octave will limit some of your piano playing, it does not mean you can't play piano. You can drop the bottom note on chords that are too wide for your hand (very young students often have to do that). Hope this helps.
What is a good musical instrument for a bad multitasker?
Q. I am a horrible multitasker... Well, when it comes to music and rhythm. I have tried the piano and i could play it fine... But only one hand at a time. With the guitar, i could not make the note sound clear.
Would the violin be a good instrument?
Thanks :)
A. If I am weak at something, I will not give up. I know I need to spend more time to conquer myself, to overcome my weakness.
I've played violin for 3 decades, yes it is very complicated and difficult, especially at the beginner stage, but it's fun.
If you think you are a bad mutitasker, I think you need to separate your tasks to many pieces or individually and practice each one step by step; then assemble them together.
Hah! It is very Object Oriented! For example, in piano playing, it has too many targets, ur fingering of left hand, ur fingering of right hand, ur left hand rhythm, ur right hand rhythm, the phasing of soprano, alto, tenor and bass parts, the expression of tempo, and the expression of dynamic, more advanced u may need to care about the chord progression changes and the touching of each key.
Using the Object Oriented approach, u may pay attention on one or few tasks at once, for example, I simply practice the rhythm and fingering of my left hand first, I can ignore the right hand, and even the loudness of my left. I can practice my left hand with a super slow tempo (50 beats per min) until I can manage my left hand and the tempo improved to 90 beats per minute, I don't need to watch my left hand, he can work alone; then I will slow down again to train my right hand.
To optimize the final outcome production rate, multitasking is a very good strategy, but object oriented cannot be ignored. >:-^ )
Simple musical instrument at the beginner stage: harmonica, recorderï¹ mouth organ, etc...
