[Trish’s reply is ... interesting. Everything she writes about goes against his own experience with music. It doesn’t catch him as off-guard as it would have in the past, but he still finds it so odd to read about. Their experiences are just fundamentally different. His grandfather never would have suggested an alternative to the piano out of consideration for him; it would only have been because there was a "more suitable" instrument to learn.
Honestly, he doesn't have a clue how to even begin approaching it. The best he can do, for now, is turn it around in his mind. Again, again, again.]
I see. Thanks for taking the time to explain it. Your process was a lot different from mine. Early on, I studied violin for a year or so, but those lessons ended so I could focus my efforts completely on the piano.
I’m not sure I can come to a definitive conclusion based on my personal preferences. To be honest, when it comes to music, that’s something I struggle with. This is the first time I’ve been even remotely interested in learning how to play a new instrument for its own sake. Both have their individual merits.
Why don’t you just bring whatever you feel like showing me, next time? If I don’t like it, I’ll try the other. If you need to buy anything for the lesson I’ll pay you back.
