It gives you a broader understanding of the music you do play, and makes you a better comrade to those who do perform those instruments. Learn a pitched instrument, an un-pitched percussion instrument, a chordal one, a monophonic one, to sing… They all make you better.
its such a great way to get more creative if you learn an instrument. and also you engage your brain so much
it can even be the flute or something easy.
i started drum lessons again and i forgot how much fun it actually can be to learn and play an instrument.
This is the pinnacle of life on earth to me. And I'm not talking about learning your first song on the drums with a Youtube video or taking a guitar lesson. I mean finding an instrument and doing something with it right there. The first time I touched a piano and figured out what keys to hit for a major chord. Getting a note out of a flute after desperately trying for half an hour. Playing a theremin, finding a broken string instrument in a pawn shop and making up a melody. Instruments are our most beautiful tools and you can only ever build love with them
It’s such a simple way to show solidarity towards your Palestinian siblings and it will keep your neck warm this coming winter. I love mine to bits. It’s from the Hirbawi factory in Gaza. I will cherish it for many years to come.
