三、信息还原
Learning to play a musical instrument is a wonderful idea. But with so many choices, how do you pick the right one? Don't worry! 1.
What music do you like?
Start by thinking about the music you enjoy every day. 2. For example, if you love pop music, the guitar or the keyboard could be great choices. If you prefer classical music, you might like the piano or the violin. When you learn to play the songs you love, practice becomes a real joy. 3.
Where can you practise?
This is a very important question. Some instruments like drums can be very loud. The sound they make may be too loud for small spaces. 4. For quiet practice, you can choose a keyboard or an electric guitar. This helps you practise without making too much noise.
How much money do you have?
Musical instruments can have very different prices. A simple recorder is not expensive, but a good piano costs a lot. 5. Remember, you don't always have to buy a new one.
Looking for a second-hand instrument or renting (租) one is also a good way to start.
Choosing your first instrument is an exciting step. By thinking about what you like, where you live and your budget, you can find the perfect one to begin your musical journey!
A. It is wise to check the price before you decide.
B. You can pick an instrument for your favourite music.
C. Before you start practising, you need to buy a new instrument.
D. So choosing an instrument that matches your taste is really important.
E. If you live in a small flat or have close neighbours, this could be a problem.
F. Thinking about the following three questions can help you make a good decision.
G. The more expensive the instrument is, the better sound quality it can provide.
