When you’re looking to buy an instrument, you’re probably wondering, should I buy a new instrument or should I buy a used instrument! Truthfully, there isn’t one correct answer - there are so many factors involved! Make sure to read below for some expert advice for individual instruments!

Is it bad to learn more than one instrument at the same time? I get it, learning and experimenting with new instruments can be a lot of fun! However, I would caution you against learning too many instruments at once. Let’s talk about some different scenarios you might find yourself in. 

Another common question I hear all the time about learning an instrument is “do I need to practice everyday?” Well, yes and no. See, when learning any new skill, you need to be consistent. Why is it that we go to school 5 days a week? To be consistent. Have you noticed that after summer vacation you tend to forget a lot of material? That can be due to lack of consistency.
