No Choice

Having come to the conclusion that, in order to be The Compleat Renaissance Man, I need to learn to play a musical instrument, I set out yesterday to talk to some people I thought might help: music teachers.
I visited three music stores, and as I sort-of expected, there were music teachers present at each one, and I was able to get their opinions, and I’ve considered them.
The guitar would be difficult, and any other stringed instrument would be impossible without cosmetic surgery on my fingertips to make them smaller and pointier. Given that the size of my fingers is not likely to change quite so drastically, the piano is looking like the way to go. I’m cool with that.
Now I just have to figure out where to get started. Looks like I’ll be making another trip across town to the music stores.
Have you considered a keyboard (talk to Faith about hers) – it would surely be less expensive than buying a baby grand!!!
I’ve considered exactly that – most of the good looking ones I saw the other day were under $250.
eeeeeh, but you really should consider weighted keys.
