does it matter how old you are when you learn it?
I am 23…I played violin a bit when I was a kid but didn’t like practicing so never got particularly good at it. I could play songs and all back then…but it’s been a long time and I remember nothing about how to play. But lately I’ve sort of been regretting that I stopped and vaguely wondering how hard it would be to pick up.
Additionally…how much would a decent violin cost to get?
Just curious…
Oh, also I play clarinet so I am not a total stranger to music. And I have a good ear for music I think
I don’t really think there’s an age limit for learning anything (unless you’re in really bad physical/mental condition). You could probably be like 90 years old and if you’re still healthy inside and out, you could learn stuff. Of course, it wouldn’t be as fast as if you learn it if you’re younger but you still could, technically.
As to how much a decent violin would cost, I would say at least over $700. Don’t buy those cheap ones on eBay or Target/Sam’s Club etc! The tone quality is bad, itcould break/scratch easily and it gets out of tune easily. Plus its hard to keep it in tune. Those violins give you a really hard time, so I would just invest in a little bit more expensive violin , than all of those repairs/stress. You should check out the nearest music store and see what they have. I understand there’s price ranges for everyone. If you’re really thinking about pursuing this, then you should aim for one over $1000. There really is a big difference in the sound. There’s ones that sound boxed in as you shift into higher positions and cheap ones squeak a lot. I have a violin that’s $3000, and its amazing. Don’t forget about the price of the bow and case. Bows range anywhere from $50-couple hundreds.
I’m sorry for this really long explanation, but I’m just trying to explain this, and I hope this helps you and your search!
I am considering taking piano lessons but i don’t know how many keys the keyboard i need to buy will need. There are like 61, 76, and 88 ones with prices going up from more keys. So, how many keys do i need?
Your first two answerers are right on about the need for a real piano.
If you must buy a keyboard, go for at least 61 keys, but even more important is that you need to buy a keyboard that responds dynamically. Easy way to test: the sound when you press a key really hard should be A LOT louder than when you press the key very softly. Most inexpensive keyboards do not respond dynamically to the player’s touch.
There are ways to get around owning a piano, though. See if you can practice on one in your school’s band or orchestra room (or practice rooms, if there are some) during study hall or before or after school. If a neighbor has a piano that’s not getting much use, see if they’ll let you practice on it for a nominal free or maybe for free.
Nursing homes often have pianos that just sit. See if you can practice on that in exchange for playing for the residents once a month (it doesn’t have to be fancy- older people will enjoy it.)
I am interested in improving my voice. I have looked for places that work on your voice but I only found one and it’s about an hour away.
My questions is, can my normal talking voice improve if i take singing lessons?
Yes, it can. By learning how to sing, you improve your projection, range, expression, and breath control (confidence too!) This is all good for your talking voice. By singing, you learn what range is comfortable for you, and this can be applied when you talk. Most people talk low in their register, which can be detrimental to the vocal chords, and it’s often hard to hear. With singing, you learn to use a natural range and you learn how to properly make yourself louder without yelling. There are many other benefits to singing that can be applied to your talking voice, you just have to find out on your own.
