Today I will talk about my favourite hobby during this year.
I have changed my hobby from last year. It used to be swimming, and now I started to expand my musical abilities, so I began learning how to play the Armonica. Since I was little, I always liked the idea of me making music or playing music, so I learned how to play the guitar at first, but I didn't like something about it, so I started learning how to play piano. Since then, I started to like music theory and composition, along with improvisation, but improvising in piano is very, VERY difficult, so I blocked the idea to improvise music from my mind. That's when the idea of playing the armonica appeared.
One of the songs I`ve played and learned in piano is "Piano Man" by Billy Joel (HERE IS THE LINK, IF YOU ARE IN THE MOOD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxEPV4kolz0) , in which he plays the armonica and the piano at the same time. After I listened to this song like a hundred times, along with some blues armonica improvisation, the idea of playing the armonica started to be more powerful. And so, between november and dicember of the last year, I bought my first armonica.
Nowadays, I haven't had armonica classes yet, so I've been practicing by myself in my house, watching tutorials in youtube. Maybe one day, I'll be a "Piano Man".
I have to say I found armonica a sad instrument. It reminds of prisioners in jail movies playing all alone in their cells.
ResponderBorrarcontinues to practice and you will improve, no classes are needed, Billy Joel has good songs, I've seen videos where he plays both instruments at the same time, it's great

ResponderBorrarHope you keep practicing on the armonica, it's unusual to meet people that know how to play that instrument.
