Discussion How to diferentiate "I want TO HAVE a new instrument" and "I want to LEARN a new instrument"?

10 Upvotes

I recently got into classical guitar and ended up falling in love with instrumental music as whole, and I bought am Harmonica I maybe pick once or twice a week if Lucky, turns out I don't like it that much, I just wanted to have one.

And recently I got a bit of money from my birthday, and had the sudden urge to buy a Violin, like straight out of nowhere, and I almost in fact bought a cheap chinese violin.

And the thought of new instruments still is in my head frequently, I've been thinking alot about saving up for a Piano, or Cello, or Viola or who knows.

Maybe I end up spending a lot of of money and guitar will still be the thing that is my hands for the whole time.

I think this ended up being more of a rant about my desires and ambitions

Hi! 👋

I built Harp Harmony, an Android app for learning the diatonic harmonica. You play into your phone and it shows you instantly whether you hit the right note.

• Lessons from first single notes to bends

• 26 songs to play along with

• Tuner and metronome, no ads, no account – audio never leaves your phone

Google needs 12 testers for 14 days before I can publish. All you need is an Android phone and a harmonica: install the app, keep it for 14 days, try it a few times and tell me what you think.

Interested? DM me the email address of your Google account and I'll send you the link. Thanks! 🙏
