You ask anyone who plays an instrument and they will tell you it is one of the best things they ever did. Research has revealed the benefits of playing a musical instrument. Academically, socially, spiritually, and even physically, playing an instrument improves our overall well-being and quality and experience of life.
There are many ways you can begin your musical journey or improve or be challenged on the one you are already on. What is most important is finding a teacher who matches what you are after. For example some us just want to learn to play an instrument like the guitar. For us to be able to come home after work, sit on the couch and play is what we want. We dont necessarily want to be a "pro", gig or perform or even be able to read music, we just want to create music. For others we want to understand how it all works, we want to learn the language of music and understand its rudiments, to be able to sit down with a piece of music and play it, is what we are after. There is no right and wrong path. Our desire is just to see you playing and creating music, however it works for you. In Bendigo we are blessed with many fine teachers, both teaching privately and also within teaching schools.
