Can You Learn A Musical Instrument On Your Own

By Patrick J Keene


That is the query, is it feasible to learn an instrument with no formal training at home? Well this is the way lots of the greats started out. Whether or not it's blues or rock musicians, or hiphop pioneers defining their own sound with some home equipment, it can be done. Actually it may be the only actual way to develop an individual sound. So if by day you are a SEO consultant by night you may be a blues musician.

To give you a helping hand you can download some music courses from the Internet. There are numerous guitar home study courses. And there's video training courses, which in my view are the best. There's no substitute than to observe some other person play an instrument and tell you exactly what they did. You then can emulate the method. As one says practice makes perfect.

There are tons of courses like JamPlay and Guitar tricks that teach in this style. If you'd like to learn something more involved like a violin it might be a bit hard without some basic formal coaching. Unless you wish to join Alexander McCall Smith's Actually Appalling Orchestra, whom are known for letting musicians of all ability, rotten and great play in their orchestra.

If you want to learn to play the decks and dj; if that may be judged as an instrument, and in my viewpoint it is if played correctly, you can certainly do this at home.

This may develop your skill and style. If you're into scratch djing there's plenty of videos that can teach you the basic scratch sounds, but after that you need to work on developing your own unique take on them. All the famous dj's whether or not they be hip hop, house, techno or electronic style dj's mix beat mixing "which is blending music in time with the beat, and scratching. There's little more exhilarating than watching a scratch dj who can also juggle beats and create new soundscapes.
