Express Yourself Through Music and Meet New People
You already enjoy listening to music, either live, recorded, on the radio or at concerts, but have you ever thought about getting involved yourself? It is fun, interactive, sociable and you certainly don't need a talent! Any good local teacher can teach you the elements of a basic music understanding and it will not take you many weeks to be able to pick out a popular tune at the piano or on guitar.
You may not aspire to public performance but there is no reason why you should not have a go at acquiring the fundamentals for playing your chosen instrument.
No need for talent! just select an instrument which appeals to you and look through your local directory for a teacher.
They will be able to recommend where you can source your instrument and any sheet music or how-to-play books you need to start you off.
Many tutor books these days come with a recording so right from the start you can hear what you should be sounding like! Be patient with yourself in the early stages and allow a few sessions each week for practice.
It is astonishing just how quickly you will play your first tunes! And as they say, practice makes perfect! So be daring and give it a go.
If anyone in your past has been discouraging now is the time to show who knows best! Here is a valuable, enjoyable, challenging and rewarding hobby for you! Take some time to jot down a list of popular pieces and songs you would like to master: your teacher will be able to help by finding you the music or by creating a simplified version for you.
Have a try and surprise yourself! I have taught persons of every age from three years old to ninety-one to play a variety of musical instruments, especially piano.
Don't give up but have faith in your teacher's ability! Music playing is a learned skill not much different from any other: you learnt to read and write, you learnt to drive a car! Everyone can have a go and learn at least a few simple tunes within a few short weeks.
Try for yourself! I started playing at the age of seventeen and one of my own pupils began at age eighty-five so it is never too late to learn, you see! I have enjoyed the opportunity that music study gave me of joining in choirs, bands, ensembles of every kind: I have certainly met many people and made some friends along the way! And now you can too.
You will soon find everyone you meet is in the same position as you and you can encourage one another to learn.
What pleasure to play that favourite old hymn or the pop song you heard on the radio.
And don't feel you have to learn to read the music notes: if you believe you have an ear for music just tell your tutor that you opt to learn by ear instead.
When playing piano watch your teacher's fingers carefully and copy their example.
Listen and watch professional performers and soon you will feel at ease with your chosen instrument! The chances for meeting new people is endless once you start this lovely hobby and who knows, perhaps you will end up meeting your soul-mate, both inspired by a mutual determination to play a serenade! Good luck and persevere!
