flutes are based
i first thought it looks soy and cringe, but i looked it up and its cool, especially if you want to be able to practise at night
I want to learn an instrument. I want to learn music theory and read notes. I spend lots of time listening to music so I might as well try to somewhat get into it.
I tend to get some electronic device so I can practice with headphones whenever I want without neighbors getting on my nerves. Also having the possibility to chose from different sounds seem like a plus.
I tend to get something like pic-related instead of a keyboard because it does not take as much space if it turns out that I won't pull through with it and it just sits around in a corner somewhere.
Onions? Advice?
not interchangable but still similar
i can make music on mandolins or ukuleles first try because i can transfer my knowledge
same goes for my woodwind playing friends, almost all of them can play fluet/sax etc
the fingerings might be different but there are greater similarities like how to use your lips to produce a tone
there is something about acoustic instruments that electric ones just can't reproduce
try playing your electric piano or guitar in the nature haha
perhaps it's soul?
Here is my advice regarding music theory:
Understand that music in the European tradition consists of 12 notes per octave. The thirteenth note's frequency is double the frequency of the 1st, that's why they are in perfect harmony and have the same name (e.g. a and a'). A major scale consists of the notes 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 1', 3', 5' etc. You can start on any note and follow this pattern to get a major scale. Other types of scales have other patterns.
Now, everything becomes super-complicated because over 9000 years ago some retard invented a notation system pretending that all the steps in a major scale starting with c are equally wide. Since then we are forced to use #s and bs to refer to the missing notes of the 12 steps when playing major scales that are not c major.
When music theory and notation seems complicated, always remember that the patterns are much simpler when thinking with 12 notes and be aware that the traditional notation system is very stupid. Thank me later!
