I want to learn to play a musical instrument for classical music.Which one should I choose? |
I always thought of myself as someone who could not do that but now I am ready and so willing to learn to play! My goal is to eventually play in a local band of volunteers. I want an instrument that is more suitable for a girl and that is not too hard to learn. I will appreciate any insights:) No offense, but by "an instrument suitable for girls" (and "not hard to learn") you are already limiting yourself. "suitable" instruments are "not hard to learn". It's the developing skill level, not the learning, which is difficult. I am not sure what the significance of you being a girl makes. i say go for the violin. i started playing in 4th grade and its pretty easy. and if you want to make a transition into guitar (which i did) it makes learning guitar alot easier. Well, if you are aiming for anything that is not a stringed intrument, it depends on the way you mouth is shaped some times. It depends on what the band needs. You should ask the band director if he needs French Horn or Alto Saxophone or whatever you think you would like to play. I taught beginning band in the Oklahoma Public Schools and those were instruments that most high school marching bands need. I happen to play the French Horn so that would be my first choice for a young lady. Instruments are gender neutral. Your being a girl has nothing to do with your choice of instrument. Unfortunately there is NO instrument that is not "hard to play," particulary in the classical/symphonic arena. definitely go for either the bass or tuba either would be perfectly suitable for a girl. pick the one YOU want to play otherwise you won't want to practice .... as far as opportunities ... viola 1st then cello would give you more opportunities to play in a community group |
