Learning how to play a musical instrument is not an easy task
Learning how to play a musical instrument (whichever it might be) is not an easy task. Before we get started with the resources and the links that will help you get to your first steps in it, let me remind you that learning to hone a craft, a way of artistry and a communication vessel for your feelings takes years, not hours. The good news is that you will get there sooner, the sooner you get started. Besides, the more hours of work, practice and passion you put on playing, the closer to the goal you will always be.
Important thing to bear in mind when it comes to playing a musical instrument
Another important thing to bear in mind when it comes to playing a musical instrument is to dissolve the myth of innate talent. While it is true that some people have more ease than others to play an instrument, the only certain way of not mastering ever in your life is by not starting. Maybe you want to play for a full Madison Square Garden and hear a roaring crowd sing your name or maybe you want to get back home from work and just relax playing your favorite music. All approaches are valid and they are all enjoyable. Let´s move on to the resources, you might be in the newest incarnation of Be More Chill very soon!
