Music lessons begin with the choice of a suitable instrument that suits the style of the future performance, the function of the instrument in the ensemble (if you are going to play in a group) and many other criteria. However, it is difficult for a beginner to independently choose a tool that suits him completely. In order not to throw tens of thousands down the drain, use some tips.
Instructions
Step 1
You have hardly decided what brand of instrument you will play. But the choice between, say, a synthesizer and a balalaika (or a drum kit and a guitar) has already been made. After all, you will not go to the store alone, but with an experienced musician friend who plays the same instrument. And on the sales floor, you don't have to run from guitars to synthesizers to violins.
Step 2
Decide on the amount you want to spend on the instrument. For the entry level 15,000 - 20,000 rubles. it will be nice. Professional tools can cost anywhere from $ 50,000 to $ 200,000, but you don't need to spend that much yet.
Step 3
In the store, start checking the tools with an inspection. Are there any cracks, any defects and defects, and in general, do you like the instrument. Listen to a musician friend who will talk about the benefits of an instrument you like. And about the flaws, including within your favorite style. Pay attention to the built-in functions of the tool.
Step 4
Feel the instrument. If possible (for guitars, basses, and the like), pick up and play some sounds. How do you like to touch the instrument, the strings, the keys? What other tactile sensations arise?
Step 5
If the tool suits you both in price and quality, buy it.
