What instrument should I play?

Question

I already play the piano and flute....and good suggestions to what else I should play?

Answer 1

Definitely go for electric guitar or the drums. They're awesome; they sound AND look great when you play 'em. })({*

Answer 2

if you play the piano, and are any good, you must have a decent understanding of music that can take you in a variety of different ways. I've been playing the piano since I was 7 (24 now) and when I hit high school, I branched off into 3 more instruments, guitar, saxophone, and drums. Two years ago something musically sparked inside of me and I learned to play bass, harmonica, and recorder. Why not try it all? Banjo, violin, and xylophone are next on my list.

Answer 3

If you're seriously into music AND have some aptitude ::

1. Take classes in composition harmony, and arranging. A composer can have played every instrument. Do you know, for instance, how the accidentals on an orchestral harp are produced? How to layer 6 flute sequences into one?
2. Take more classes in piano and guitar.
3. The computer.

I personally don't think the future of playing instruments is in playing the actual instrument, unless you want to.
I think the future is in The Logic Program and a Mac! If you have aptitude and desire don't waste your time playing them, write for them.

Answer 4

Flute? Asian bamboo flute or Western Metal flute? Pretty good. My best friend in middle school played the opposite of the instrument I played, but that was like 7 years ago, Western flute for her and Asian Bamboo flute for me. The Chinese flute, Dizi, aka the Shinobu-e (Shinobu-aye) or Takebu-e of Japan, in G-note, can play a sharp, crisp, melodious sound liks the chirping of a bird.

The guitar is very good and could allow you to play a variety of musical styles. You might want to check out a few of Eric Clapton's pieces, especially one guitar piece he composed for a Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfeiffer movie. Yeah, definitely a guitar, it looks cool and it cool to carry around.

Next, you might want to give a shot for Shamisen (aka 3 flaboured strings), a three stringed Japanese Instrument. Delicate, beautiful, when strummed, it comes with a powerful sound. The Yoshida brothers were famous Players of Shamisen and their master piece are :

1. Kodo, inside the sun remix
2. Rising (u could download them online)

Percussion: drumming and handling drums totally tones out your arms, not just creating a rythm your body will slowly becomes accustomed to follow. And the Biceps too!

Answer 5

Get crazy...learn the drums. I've played for 17 years and it's a great stress reliever!

Answer 6

Saxaphone

Answer 7

I think the alto sax is a great instrument and I admire those who can play it! Drums are also cool!

Answer 8

Chello is a cool instument for a girl.

Answer 9

I've always wanted to play a harp.

Answer 10

Harmonica. She's a little peculiar and has been overshadowed by many of her cohorts.
