Piano

Along with the Guitar, the Piano is the most popular instrument to learn. Learning the Piano opens the doors to a host of intruments including keyboards, harpsicord etc. Learning the Piano can be frustrating for you ( and for those around you! ) The learning curve for Piano skills is very structured, with universally recognised grades achieved as you pass through various stages of achievement. Knowing how to play the Piano stays with you for life, and once you become proficient you can play almost any song, old or new, as they almost all have some piano basis.

One quality that the piano and not many other instruments share is that you can play more than one note at a time. It is polyphonic. Thus, unlike instruments like the flute or violin, one can play pieces with complex and rich harmonies when playing alone. That makes the piano a dynamic solo instrument. At the same time, the piano sounds beautiful accompanying other instruments. So, whether you are introverted or extroverted, the piano will suit your style.
