Learning to play an instrument

I have the opportunity to learn to play an instrument (a
keyboard or piano) by an unemployed music teacher. Should I
do it?
To be honest, I dont think im very talented, nor do i have
the discipline or intrest to train everyday. But hey, I like
music.

No doubt, do it. I took piano lessons for a year and it was
great. I can't play anything more advanced than chords to
Bob Dylan, but it gave me a good insight into the
technicalities of music without spoiling anything.

i have played the piano for years when i was much younger
and today i have lost basically every last bit of skill.

my parents and my teacher were too kind to show me this cold
truth: i don't have the mental capacity to keep up with
what's going on, the memory capacity to remember what i've
learned and a lack of drive to keep working on something in
general.

it is one of the greatest sorrows in my life, because the
piano is the most beautiful instrument on earth and i would
sell my soul to be able to play everything i can think of.

so the problem is you need either talent which is programmed
into your genes, or the willpower and endurance of a machine
to keep playing until it becomes a routine. i know many
people will disagree with this but thats what it boils down
to for me.

Now in answer to your question: go for it, if you can handle
the disappointment when you fail and give up after having
had a taste of how exquisite a few simple chords can sound
when you play them yourself. Good luck.

similar software and teach yourself
