I have
tried to learn the piano, the guitar, and the clarinet, and I have found all of them not only
difficult but frustrating--but that's probably because I'm not cut out to be a musician. Some
people love guitars and can be happy sitting and strumming chords for hours at a time. I found
the fingering especially difficult because there are so many strings and you have to press them
tightly. It's true that you can learn a few chords and then hum or sing to them--but this isn't
really "learning" an instrument. I only tried playing a recorder once in my entire
life, and I found that I could play songs with ease. It is indeed a simple and limited
instrument, but it makes a good starter, and it really is a respectable musical instrument. But
I have given up on myself entirely as far as learning any musical instrument is concerned. I
don't have that peculiar patience that most musicians seem to possess.
