Is It possible To Learn A Musical Instrument On Your Own

By Patrick J Keene


That's the question , is it possible to learn an instrument with no formal coaching at home? Well this is the way many of the greats began. Whether it's blues or rock musicians, or hip-hop front-runners outlining their own sound with some home clobber, it can be done. In fact it could be the only real way to develop an individual sound. So if by day you're a SEO consultant by night you can be a blues musician.

To offer you a bit of help you can download some music courses from the net. There are countless guitar home learning courses. Plus there is video coaching courses, which in my opinion are the very best. There is not any substitute than to look at somebody else play an instrument and tell you precisely what they went and did. You then can match the process. As they say practice is essential.

There are loads of courses like JamPlay and Guitar tricks that teach in this style. If you need to learn something more difficult like a violin it may be a little tricky without some basic formal training. Unless you want to join Alexander McCall Smith's Truly Dreadful Orchestra, whom are famous for letting musicians of all capability, horrible and great play in their orchestra.

If you'd like to learn how to play the decks and dj; if that may be deemed as an instrument, and in my opinion it is if played correctly, you can certainly do this at home.

This will develop your ability and style. If you're into scratch djing there is a load of videos that can help you learn the basic scratch sounds, but after that you must work on developing your very own 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 nothing more exciting than watching a scratch dj who can also juggle beats and create new soundscapes.
