Easiest instrument to learn to play?
First of all, I MEAN SOMETHING PRACTICAL. Not a Kazoo or a stick and an empty paint can, but something that you can actually play without looking stupid. Well not stupid, but well.. you're not going to see someone rock out on a Kazoo and become a famous musician or at least be considered "good." Practical instruments would be things that people actually use. Bass guitar, trumpet, sax, guitar, electric guitar, piano, synth keyboard, etc. Those are some examples. Anyway, what's the easiest to learn to play? Whenever I try to touch a music keyboard I end up just playing random keys. I've never tried a guitar or anything else though. I'm thinking that I should learn whatever is easiest first then move on to harder instruments. I have absolutely no musical experience by the way.
Which musical instrument will be easy to learn at the age 65?
Piano has a great advantage. It is easy to make good sounding notes. Just strike a key. Most other instruments require effort and practice to make a good sounding note.The notes and scales on a piano are very visual, laid out from left to right. It is simple to play a rudimentary scale. Most other instruments the scales are not so obvious.After that, all instruments will take time and dedication. The more time put in practice the sooner music skills are developed. No getting around it. One hour each day is better than 15 minutes a day at practice. 5 days is better than 3 days. Etc.It is never too late to learn some instrument. I learned trumpet at 10, guitar at 14, piano at 35, mandolin at 62, and now violin at 65. Music theory will transfer from one instrument to the next so that is helpful, but the only thing that will help me with violin technique is daily practice and perhaps some luck that I don’t develop arthritis before I get any good.
What is the easiest to learn instrument that sounds beautiful?
The phonograph (or MP3 player or radio etc.)Push a button and that’s allBut seriously, there is a continuum between difficulty and control on the one hand, and ease of playing on the other.Instruments that easily make a good sound include piano, harp, guitar, dulcimer, percussion, etc.These all share the property that you start the sound and it then plays itself.If you want more control over the sustain, there is more technique involved to play flute, violin, trumpet, etc.This is not to say that an instrument like piano is easy. It in particular presents other difficulties, notably the fact that the two hands play different music and, especially, the complexity of the repertoire that has been written for it.Of course, becoming a master of any instrument is extremely difficult requiring equal portions of natural raw aptitude and hard work for many years.But if you’re asking about producing a sound, my comments above stand.
What is the easiest instrument for a 13 year old to learn?
Now, I am not asking for kazoos... At school, I have chosen band for an elective and I must pick an instrument but I am not sure which one to pick. I am thinking about learning how to play the flute. I don't really have any experience with instruments other than a recorder in 5th grade. The school wants us to use instruments such as flutes, clarinets, french horns, saxophones, violins, etc. So, no guitars :P Please help, Thank you
Is the recorder an easy instrument?
It depends on what you have in mind, but there are plenty of simple recorders (many just an octave or so in range) that are very easy and fun to play. Many are plastic and come in an assortment of bright colors, and while you can actually buy a recorder for less than $5, unless you plan to give them out as party prizes (since these would be a step up from a kazoo), you probably want something a bit more sturdy. Follow Mamianka's advice. If it turns out you really like the recorder, OR if you are interested in joining an instrumental ensemble, you can get something better. You can easily spend a couple of hundred dollars for a musician quality recorder capable of some more complex music, and I saw at least one baroque recorder (probably overpriced) on "sale" for $2000. So, yeah, spend about 20 bucks, get an instruction book, and maybe some help and enjoy! Recorders are frequently used in the classroom for children, along with rhythm instruments like tambourines (but you'll get more out of the recorder since it plays actual tunes).
What's the easiest musical instrument to learn as an adult?
I have taught myself to play guitar and it has been fairly easy. The hardest part was getting started, but once I did, it kind of just came extremely fast. I remember when I first started it took me 2 months to learn my first solo completely, and I admit I was not advanced enough to even attempt it, but I learned it. Now I can learn a solo in hours or even minutes depending on the length and complexity of the solo. My only example of this is that in the past hour I have learned the solo to stairway and am working on perfecting it as I am writing this answer. I have also tried learning piano, but I lacked the necessary motivation to learn. When I started guitar I had a fire lit under me, and I was determined to learn no matter what, but I haven't found another instrument that I really wanted to learn as much as guitar. So, to me, guitar is the easiest instrument to learn simply because it is the only one I know how to play, but I will vouch for the guitar in saying it only takes a little while to get started, but when you do, your eyes open up and it becomes a whole new world. Things start making sense and you can figure things out on your own just by listening to a song. Sorry for my rambling, but I say guitar is the easiest to learn. Also I would like to note that I think how motivated you are to learn the instrument affects how easy it is to learn, hence the reason I am a guitarist and not a pianist. Hope I helped somehow!
