Is it psychotic?

Question

I want to learn every instrument in band, but my band teacher won't teach me all of them. How can I convince him to let me learn them all??

P.S. I want to be a musician/music teacher when I have fully aproached adulthood.

Answer 1

you can always get a private tutor. But once you know how to play one instrument in a family of instruments, then you know the rest. So you could just chose one from each family to start with.
But I think it sucks that your teachers dont want to take the time to teach a student who is eager. At a time when their jobs are already in jeopardy bc of cutbacks in the music and arts programs. RIDICULOUS!

Answer 2

Many instruments are similar in design (the Saxaphone and the Calrinet have the same fingering for example) try learning a few key instruments and then picking up on the others on your own.

I was never a band person, but off the top of my head, clarinet/sax, flute, 3 valve horns (trumpet, french horn, etc), stringed instruments (violin, viola, cello, etc) precussion.

Ask him to teach you one of each of those groups.

Answer 3

i would suggest teaching yourself would be a gret way to start. after you get decent at one instrument then switch to another. take lessons multiple at a time. being multi-instrumental is great, but dont expect it to happen overnight.

Answer 4

not psychotic, but not very realistic either. You may be able to learn to play all instruments, but you probalbly won't play them all well.

Answer 5

If they don't want to teach you, then they won't teach you. Simple as that.

That's what college is for, you have four or more years to experimen with it, you shouldn't be in such a rush.

Answer 6

Eh no. Just obsessive. You could learn a couple of them on your own.

Answer 7

ok....................
