My musical side probably developed a little later than other people. When everyone else got Ipods I was getting books. Now days on the hand, I am still Ipod-less, and still getting books but now I do have a slight musical side. and I do want to learn more about that entire world.
So the first thing to decide would be what instrument to learn. Definitely not recorder, for oh so many reasons not recorder. I've tried it I suck, end of story. Eventually I decide on something that doesn't involve blowing (not like that emilie you have a sick mind) mainly due to my asthma giving me crap lungs. I could learn the triangle...oh wait just did. but I want something I can use in later life, and have fun with so as I'm not very rocky or poppy; I've decided on an acoustic guitar. (plus quite a few of my favourite songs are played with an acoustic and i would enjoy learning them eventually) Now as I'm not particularly rich my first will be a cheap one, and I need to get a job to pay for lessons but that's all you need for life; a goal, a little bit of motivation and a song to help you through.
stay tuned for more tuneful ramblings. see you next time
