3 Reasons to Invest in an Instrument

Are you Learning to Play a Musical Instrument? Are you wondering if you should invest in an instrument when you have just started learning (even if the music school you are studying at provides the instrument when learning there)? The only answer to this is “YES YES YES”. If you are interested in learning the instrument then you must invest in the instrument you are learning. However, don’t just take our word for it, there are several valid reasons why and here are a few of them. We hope this will help you making an informed decision.

1. Practising regularly improves performance

Music schools provide you the instruction, material, the knowledge and the basic exercises that will get you going with the instrument. However, you can only make progress when you apply your learning and revise at home regularly. In order to do that, you need an instrument. Also, the classes in music school ranges averages at about an hour where, more than practice, you learn new concepts/songs and clarify your doubts and techniques. Thus, for you to gain the ability of playing an instrument, you should invest in the instrument you are learning.

2. Playing regularly will keep you Motivated

If you do not have an instrument while learning it, you will not gather any excitement of learning music as there is nothing to apply your learning and get feedback from what you have learned. It would be like learning just another boring school subject. Music is all about having fun playing the instrument, so if you buy an instrument and have it at home, you will be excited to try the things you have learned in the class and evaluate if you can play them well. If there is a song that has been taught to you, you will be eager to go home to play the song in your instrument and sing along with it. You might not get it in your very first practice, but eventually, if you keep at it, you will. The sense of achieving that is fulfilling and will improve your confidence and your progress immensely.

3. You will learn more about your instrument

Every instrument has different properties and different skill sets that you have to learn. The more time you spend with your instrument, the more you will discover about your instrument. There are a lot of other things that you can discover when you dedicate more time to playing your instrument, for eg. how to coordinate both of your hands to get the most effective output, how does the instrument sound when you apply your skills differently, etc.

But before you invest, you should understand in what capacity you want to learn the instrument. If it is something that you want to try, then you can opt for the instruments available in a cheaper budget, or you can try to rent an instrument, however, if you are serious and in it for the long haul, then we recommend that you invest for your future progress and buy a good quality instrument that would suit your ambitions and budget. But it is recommended that you do your research and take opinions from your teacher and/or other well-informed musical persons before you go invest in an instrument. So, if you are planning to learn music and play it with a satisfactory command, you should go buy your instrument today!
