Practice each hand seperate, then put both hands together working on just small chunks. Work on getting the notes, then the rhythms and then adding in the dynamics and expression. And if you dont have a piano teacher.. getting one would be a good idea

Teach others how to play.\nTour and play wherever you can.\nSell CDs or downloads (iTunes).\nCheck out CDBaby.com\nBecome a session player for a recording company (play on other artists CDs).

You can, but if you ever want to play with a local symphany or something similar, you'll want to take at least a few lessons at the beginning to make sure you're not picking up any bad habits, posture, fingering trouble, etc that could keep you from being sucessful later.  Also, it's not as easy as it looks!  You'll want some advice on staying in tune, violin care and matinance, and where to get started musically.\n\nIf that's stand-up bass and not bass guitar, you may be ok to teach yourself, but I'd say take at least one lesson.  Local colleges and universities will have a teacher, or can recommend a grad student to help you out.

um...get a teacher or a book, remember that electric guitar is easier if u ever want to try it ( the neck is skinnier)

Buy a chromatic tuner (Electronic Device), available at music stores. This will tell you if your bagpipes are out of tune. Then, tune them using the appropriate tools.\n\nNate

You could either buy an instructional book, CD or DVD. or do what I did let myself go on the set and teach yourself. Teaching yourself gives you your own drum personality and makes it fun to try and make up beats of your own. Also listen to music while on your drumset. Since most songs these days are 4/4 time it should be easy to figure out a beat.\n\nHOPE I HELPED!

You mean to teach yourself, get books on the instrument of choice, and start from there. Hangin out at the local music store is helpful. Ask questions. And study the styles of your favorite bands and copy their licks. Alot of patience and daily practice.

Take the first step and give them the music for the piece you want to play.  Tell them you are interested, and even burn a CD for them to hear your stuff.\n\nIf you want it, step up and ask for it

Read the Bible, it is a great way to learn real English.\nAnd I am talking about the King James Version, where the real kings' English is spoken.\n\nYou can get some tapes, and read along with them to get the right intonation and usage of words. Using this method, you will be pleasantly surprised at how fast you pick up the language! \nDon't just take my word for it either, try it!

Hi, when i learned i only took lessons for about a month and they were helpful mostly because i had homework and i felt like i had to do it. What i am trying to say is that if you have patience and really make yourself practice you will learn by yourself. Check this site; it is mainly for folk music but it has good lessons to start out. http://www.folkofthewood.com/page5301.htm\n\nThis other site is also good for lessons and you can even find a lot of tablatures. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/lessons/for_beginners/\n\nThis other site is also good for lessons and here you can see the basic guitar chords. http://www.cyberfret.com/chords/beginning-7/index.php\n\nWhat type of music do you want to learn? Some styles are harder than others. For example. the first songs that i learned were Zombie by The Cranberries ( very easy) and Redemption Song ( Bob Marley).\n\nOh one more thing. Do a lot of practice exercises for both your right and left hand. Before you start learning songs, learn the basic chords.\n\nWell hope that this is helpful, If you have any questions let me know...jonny
