Learn to love yourself, Sprint. Any music you make will be great.

The best instrument is the one that speaks to you on a creative level. It has to be an obsession, at the very least, or the instrument will end up in a closet or under the bed.

Wonder how many billions of dollars parents waste annually on musical instruments for their children?  Kids like the idea of being able to play but once the realization that it will take real work, the instrument is put aside.

The piano is the king of instruments.

( these days an electronic piano or keyboard can be more usable -
it's smaller, portable & always on pitch.)
It's also great for singers to use to easily find the right notes
& understand what other notes can also work in a song.
It helps people to understand the theory of music to
lead on to other instruments.
You don't have to be a great player to learn a lot from the piano.

After that you could learn the guitar then become the next Jimmy page.

but, yes the piano is very good.
The electric keyboards are quite cheap, good, light, portable.

I had one a while ago, it was good to learn on.

We agree.
I learnt some tricks for singing from the piano.
If you can't reach a note well you can find another note
on the piano that is 3 semitones up or down & it will fit in the song!
( it usually works & if not you can experiment to find another note that will work)
Singers generally can't work well or make a song without a piano to help them.

Hi Agnes - yes the piano is the ultimate instrument.
I actually like Latin rhythms on the piano.
Have you ever heard Ruben Gonzalez - the famous Cuban pianist?

I find the piano a bit staccato.
It is the 'precise' instrument, The standard you can use.


Does not 'flow', like a double bass does. Or a wind instrument does.

A tuba could be fun.

Imagine marching down the street blasting on this
