Best Music Tech of 2013

There are plenty of options for people who want to learn music. This article enlists some of the best music tech of 2013.

Everybody wants to learn how to play an instrument. Thankfully, today there are plenty of options for people who want to pick up the guitar, ukulele, piano or even drums! Whatever instrument you want to learn, there is a technological way to do it. Here are just a few:

One-on-One Lessons

The most tried and true way of learning an instrument is to get someone to teach you how to play it. Thanks to the Internet, finding a teacher is easier than it has ever been before. You could, for example, use TakeLessons reviews to find teachers for your instrument in your area. You can also use free bulletin board sites like Craigslist to find teachers who are looking for students. You can also post an ad looking for a teacher.

Classes

Most local universities and colleges offer some form of a class related to learning music. If you don’t mind learning at the same time as twenty or thirty other people, this is a great way to save some money and learn at least the basics of the instrument that you want to play. Community centers often have these types of classes as well.

The Internet

The Internet is one of the best options when it comes to learning an instrument, particularly if you aren’t able to afford classes or one-on-one lessons in your home. You can learn from diagrams and other websites that illustrate proper techniques. If you don’t learn very well through diagrams or drawings, there are thousands of videos available for free through Vimeo, YouTube and other video sharing sites. You could even hire someone to teach you one-on-one through video conferencing on services like Skype.

Software Programs

Best Music Tech of 2013

There are hundreds of different software programs that you can download or purchase that will teach you how to play your instrument of choice. The benefit to these software programs is that they are often set up the same way a class or set of individual lessons would be—to take you from the first basic instructions to being able to play entire, lengthy, pieces of music. These software programs range in price but don’t let those price tags fool you. Sometimes it’s the really cheap programs that offer the best advice. Do your research and check out reviews of the different programs out there before you drop hundreds of dollars on something that might not be as good as its $20 competitor.

It is never too late to learn to play an instrument. And, while everybody learns differently, the great news is that there are now more ways to learn the things you want to know than there have ever been before. So what are you waiting for? Grab that instrument and get to work!
