who /masterrace/ here

My wife played viola in high school, and sold it to help move out on her own. Now she wants to get back into it. How can I go about finding a cheap, yet not-shit viola? Size 15.5.

>>69470886
>doesn't know any bass, brass, or woodwind

>>69470886
You are not /masterace/ because you lack a dedicated bass instrument, and can therefore not be a proper one man band.

>>69470672

Mandolin, Guitar, Bass, Piano, Violin, and sadly, Banjo.

I've never covered a Mumford and Sons song, don't worry.

>>69470898
>cheap
Good luck. Secondhand will be your best bet. Craigslist or similar, if the US has like secondhand sale websites that could work.

I play guitar, keys, sing, used to play trumpet and can record, produce and do sound design. My fave instrument is my laptop lately desu

>>69470898
probably join an adult orchestra

Piano and saxophone loser race here. Not good enough at piano to do any chamber stuff and

Want to learn piano but I don't know if I'll enjoy it so I'm afraid of spending money on a keyboard/lessons and end up treating it like a new year' resolution gym membership. Any tips? Or should just avoid being an undisciplined cunt and go for it?

I sing, play harmonica, jaw harp & guitar I want to learn accordion.

Drums. Hope to learn keyboards and or synthesizers later on.

We now live in hodunk nowhere, but I'll keep an eye out for those. Thanks peeps.

i rap and some people say i'm good at it.

>>69470672
Specialize in bass, but I can play some guitar, melodica, ocarina, a bit of Native American flute because my grandmother wanted me to, basic quijada, novice synth user, and some other stuff I don't feel like mentioning. I can write some music and read trombone sheet music as my talent, but I'm no one incredible.

>>69470898
The bigger cities will have music stores where you can try out several instruments, renting one for a few months to see if it's really what you want before you buy it.

>>69471020
If you're not excited at the prospect of learning I doubt you'll stick to it. imo piano is by far the hardest instrument to learn properly with rigorous muscle memory training and theory study. You need to be passionate for it

But hey, you might turn up to your first lesson and find out you really enjoy it

>>69471137
The prospect does excite me its just the begining that seems daunting and tedious. Then again, learning any skill worth learning is like that. I think I'll go for it. Any tips on where to start? Is it possible to learn by yourself or should I try lessons?

>>69471391
I've been self taught on guitar for 6 years. I reckon lessons are worth it for getting off the ground, developing the foundational basics properly. From there it's largely practicing and muscle memory, learning songs, memorizing keys and scales and chords, which can be done on your own.

I need lessons soon though, I don't think I'll actually get better than I am now til I do.

I'm okay at piano too, again self taught. Don't really learn songs, just pick a key and improvise. Wouldn't sell myself as a player though.

Anyway
Plenty of online resources too, free online lessons etc. but having one on one in the beginning is important at least

>>69471505
Thanks for the advice, anon. I'm gonna look further into it.

>>69471391
>that seems daunting and tedious

It should be the opposite, starting to learn is fun. It's only when you have to actively practice and make meaningful progression that the hard work kicks in.

As for a teacher, it's up to you. They should be flexible to work with whatever knowledge and skillset you have. Can learn the basics by yourself just fine, but then I'd consider booking a block of lessons just to iron out any bad habits and instill some disciplined techniques to aid your practice.

I wish you luck, highly skilled pianists garner respect in a way no other musicians can.

>>69470672
Who here /clarinet/?
I also play bass clarinet and some percussion

>>69471831
I don't but I wanna bang a girl who does.

Trombone, bass guitar

>>69471020
depends on what you mean by "learn piano"

like do you want to play classical pieces or do you just want to write your own chord progressions? i'm self taught and i fall into the second category more.

either way, i recommend finding a list of scales and printing them out, then practicing them every day. figure out basic music theory too, like the circle of fifths and how to create chords. also, find some pieces you actually want to learn (doesn't really matter what it is) and practice it as much as possible.

if you've ever played an instrument before, it won't be AS difficult to pick up. i played instruments in high school so it only took a few weeks to get a few songs down.

if you actually want to learn difficult classical pieces, i recommend getting a tutor AFTER you've learned keys, chords, scales, and basic theory. those things can be self-taught but things like technique can not.

I played trumpet in middle/high school for ez credits

>>69470918
>sadly, Banjo

Nah I'd like a banjo.

Worried I'd just get bored within a few days and will have wasted a couple hundred bucks though.

>>69472193
I have this fear for a lot of instruments, only been playing guitar for about a year now. I haven't stopped at all, but I'm afraid to buy anything for fear of dropping it in a month.

>>69470672
Beginner skill level in trumpet and piano, enjoy singing though.

Piano/keys
Bass
Guitar (who doesn't play guitar though)
Mandolin

Not very good at mandolin though, the tiny frets are a pain in the ass

>>69471391
Pianist/keyboardist here. It helps a lot to have a clear sense of direction. What kind of piano do you want to play? Classical? Jazz? Something else? There are resources for almost any style, so if you can narrow down a genre (or multiple) you're interested in, it'll make it much simpler.

>>69470918
Don't be ashamed anon. Mumford and Sons sounds pleasing to my ears, so it's good music to me.

10 years drums. I'm happy with what I can do.
My guitar could use some work though.

>>69470672
drums/percussion
classically trained, play a lot

>>69472117
>>69473594
I guess what I want to go for is learning classical piano pieces, but the begining is pretty much the same regardless of style right? Just basic theory and muscle memory exercises.

>>69475269
Also, would it be best then to first learn the basics before seeking a teacher.

Violin, Piano

Guitar, piano, violin, drums a little bit, and I dabble in many other instruments but not enough to say that I really play them.
I have an okay singing voice I guess
I would say that I have considerable musical skill

>>69475269
You won't be specialising for a long while lol don't worry.

sax, violin, piano, mandolin

I play guitar and FL Studio

>>69473508
Mandolin was my first instrument. Picked it up off some hippy while hitchhiking. Never stopped to consider having giant hands would make it difficult. Feels bad cause I love that little bastard.

>>69470911
As if bass guitar is hard given that you already play normal guitar. It takes twenty minutes tops to get used to the differences.
