after much deliberation...

... i have decided to start playing an instrument.

was thinking of getting a clarinet or trumpet. can i teach myself to play a clarinet? is it hard to learn?

[dingricon]

trumpet kaya kung di ka naman pustiso sa harap....

[whoopsie]

inisip ko nga, parang ok trumpet. pero mahirap mag-praktis sa bahay, mejo maingay. at least kung clarinet, mas malamig sa tenga.

[dingricon]

ok na ang clarinet...then magshift ka sa sax...para makakuha ng gigs...
I started on the clarinet...after a year..alto sax na... but u need to have teacher...let me know kung saan ang location mo...hanap kita ng tutor...

[whoopsie]

mejo mahal lang kasi sax.. unless meron jan na mura lang. hehehe.

sa qc ako bro.. magkano ba bayad sa mga tutor na ganyan?

[samsa]

Mas maganda mag start ka sa clarinet, pag natutunan mo ito sigurado ako madali na lang sa iyo matugtog ang anong klase ng sax instruments. Mapa soprano hangang baritone. Maniwala ka bro!  hohoho!

[saxplayer21]

if you want to learn to play any instrument you like tulad ng sinabi mo(trumpet), go ahead..... don't let the annoying factors hinder your desire..... ang importante, gusto mo yung ginagawa mo..... at isa pa, sa una lang hindi maaapreciate ng mga kasama mo sa bahay ang ginagawa mo... pero pag nakakatugtog ka na ng musika, pipilitin ka pa nila para lang tumugtog.......

good luck dude.... 

[whoopsie]

hehe. thanks guys. i think i will go ahead with the clarinet.

meron bang mga self-help guides for playing them? i don't think i can afford a teacher right now...

[dingricon]

just sent you some beginners book for clarinet (pdf file)...good luck !
seek some help on theory  -note reading etc...

trumpet! i have also just started.  its hard though...

nakabraces pa nga ako eh.. and hindi daw pang trumpet yung natural formation ng mouth ko. pero i'm still enthusiastic.
