Choosing a musical instrument

Many people would like to learn how to play a musical instrument, but they are put off by one big problem: what to play? Here are a few questions to help you decide.

What kind of music do you like?

Many instruments are versatile, but some are more suited to certain types of music. Although there is some classical repertoire for the saxophone, for example, people associate it more with jazz, and it is not a permanent feature of many orchestras. Some instruments may lend themselves better than others to the music you like, so consider this before you start.

Do you want to play with other people?

Think about your long-term future as a musician. If you want to play with other people, what sort of instrument would be most practical? The initial attraction of playing a dazzling solo instrument like trumpet, violin, flute or lead guitar might fade when you realise how many other people are competing with you to get the main part with the same instrument! If you want to play rock music, there will always be a demand for bass players or drummers, and if you fancy being part of an orchestra, the bassoon is a great bet to make sure you are always needed.

Where are you going to practise?

Many people live in flats and practising the drums, for example, will drive your neighbours crazy. Think about where and when you are going to practise, as well as the patience of the people you live with or near. Electric versions of instruments like the piano, drums, guitar and even violin give you the option of playing into the night using headphones, while your housemates sleep in peace. Alternatively, you may need to consider going to a school or a community centre to practise.

1. 1. Identify the type: Which of the following is a simple sentence?

   b) She loves to read books, and she writes reviews about them.
   c) Because she loves books, she writes reviews about them.

7. 7. Complex Sentences: Choose the correct subordinating conjunction:

   a) but
   b) because
   c) and

I know how to hurt

I know how to heal

I know what to show

And what to conceal

I know when to talk

And I know when to touch

No one ever died

From wanting too much

The world is not enough

But it is such a perfect place to start, my love

And if you're strong enough

Together we can take the world apart, my love

People like us

Know how to survive

There's no point in living

If you can't feel alive

We know when to kiss

And we know when to kill

If we can't have it all

Then nobody will

The world is not enough

But it is such a perfect place to start, my love

And if you're strong enough

Together we can take the world apart, my love

I feel safe

I feel scared

I feel ready

And yet unprepared

The world is not enough

But it is such a perfect place to start, my love

And if you're strong enough

Together we can take the world apart, my love

The world is not enough

The world is not enough

Nowhere near enough

The world is not enough
