Does anyone here play an instrument for fun or professionally/semi-professionally?
I have just started learning piano and I am really enjoying it. I have a new found respect for people that can play any type of instrument at all - I always knew a lot of work went into it but considering the level I am at after around 20 hours of practice could only be described as "can't play the piano at all" my eyes have been opened a bit as to just how many hours go into being even being on the low end of competent at this sort of thing.
Despite the slow progress I am not trying to rush things and I am happy as long as in a years time I can play at least one or two songs! I have been watching some progress videos on YouTube to try and motivate myself. Plus the cost sunk on the (digital) piano helps too!
Hopefully this can be a hobby for life for me and by the time I am in retirement I could be considered good!
