WHEN was the last time you tried to play an instrument?
Maybe it was a year or two ago, or you never had any intention to try it at all. Regardless, the fact of the matter is that you can learn to start playing regardless of age.
Many studies show that playing an instrument is like working your brain out, as it activates the left and right hemispheres of your brain. It’s also a great method to unwind and develop a new interest.
If you’re interested in learning to play an instrument, here’s where you should start.
- Find what instrument you are willing to learn.
When you want to learn something, make sure you have the eagerness and drive to do so.
Pick an instrument that sparks your interest, such as a guitar, piano, drums, violin – whatever instrument works for you.
- Find a tutor or learn on your own.
Hiring a tutor can be a bit pricey, so if you’re not willing to invest in one, the best way to learn is to do it on your own. There are many ways to learn, after all, especially if you have internet access.
You can start by watching video guides on YouTube, downloading tutorial apps on your phone, or joining communities on social media that’ll help you on your musical journey.
- Practice, practice, practice.
Practicing can be difficult, especially if you’re just starting out.
However, if you’re willing to learn and you really put an effort into it, everything will fall into place. While it won’t be easy, with patience, dedication, and motivation, you’ll start to see results in no time.
Some people don’t realize that they have the talent to play an instrument until they start practicing. When it comes to pursuing new interests or hobbies, age really is just a number.
Remember: it’s is never too late to try new experiences. Just keep your passion burning and push yourself to expand your knowledge. After all, you’ll never know until you try, right?
