If you recognize your music talent you are well on the path of learning to play a musical instrument. The next step is to find out the musical instrument of choice. Most popular musical instruments are guitar, piano, violin, flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet and percussion instruments like drums, xylophone, vibraphone etc. Certain amateur musical instruments can be made at home using vessels etc. Here is a simple musical instrument which can be easily made using 18 china bowls. The bowls should be of different sizes. Pour water in the bowls and arrange the bowls according to the size. If you strike the rim of the bowls using a spoon you can hear a particular frequency. With a little musical talent any body can arrange the bowls in the melodic order and make music by striking the bowls.
Learning to play piano is ideal for people having less time to learn. The basic lessons are easy and with a couple of such lessons you can enjoy your own music at home even before becoming an expert. But the disadvantage is that the piano is costly and takes much space to occupy. You can go for an electronic keyboard which is less costly.
Guitar is a stringed instrument and is slightly difficult in the beginning because you will not be able to make good quality sound in the initial stages. But with slight hard work you can strum away within a year.
Violin is another stringed instrument. You have to approach violin very seriously because it takes a lifetime to master.Until you are a good player you will not be able to play solo or get along with an orchestra. Even you cannot practice at home without giving discomfort to the neighbor unless you are an expert. Flute is a wind instrument. It is made on a piece of bamboo with a closed end.There holes at different lengths. Sounds are made by closing and opening the holes using fingertips. the most difficult part of learning is the making of sound by blowing on one of the holes. When you are able to produce fairly good sound the rest will be easy. Recorder coexists with flute in the same class. The blowing is easier with the presence of mouthpiece. More serious learners can go for clarinet or even saxophone which calls for more dedication and practice. Other members of the wind category are brass instruments like trumpet, trombone, horn etc. These are better suited for people interested in making music a profession.
