First Steps
Identifying Personal Preferences: How to Decide Which Instrument to Learn
Choosing the right instrument starts by thinking about your musical preferences. Ask yourself: What kind of music do you like the most? Do you like the sound of a piano, guitar or flute? Affinity with the musical style is important, as learning something you enjoy makes the process more motivating. Also remember that the voice is the oldest instrument - and one that we all have!
Purchasing an instrument may seem like a big investment.
When you’re starting out on your learning journey, buying an instrument can seem like a big investment. One option is to rent an instrument for a period of time, giving you time to decide whether it’s right for you before making a larger investment. This is especially useful for instruments like the piano or double bass. However, if you decide to buy, look for entry-level models from well-known brands to ensure quality and durability, as well as a good resale value. If you choose a used instrument, make sure it’s in good condition and that the necessary maintenance is feasible. Remember that when choosing between buying or renting, the most important thing is to make sure the instrument is in good working order, regardless of its origin.

I decided to study music, what now?
Starting to learn music is an exciting and rewarding journey. The first step is to choose the instrument that inspires you the most and establish a regular practice routine, even if it’s just a few minutes a day. Familiarize yourself with basic music theory concepts like notes and rhythms to build a solid foundation. Finally, stay motivated by setting small goals and celebrating each achievement. Remember: consistency and passion are the keys to musical success, and music always offers something new to learn!
