Music's great for processing emotions as well. Whenever I'm grieving I always turn to Bach's Chaconne, whenever I'm struck with melancholy I listen to Scriabin sonata 8, Beethoven sonata 29 adagio, Chopin's c minor nocturne or his fourth ballade, whenever I'm angry I play Mendelssohn op 35 no 5 fugue and when I'm in a conflicted state of murky feelings of wistfulness I turn to Brahms' late piano works.

Totally get that, you can play the music the best, when it fit's already the mood your in, and it helps you to calm down🙌🏻

-"Wow! Your reaction speed is so quick and your movements are so precise! How did you achieve this!?" -"I take musical classes and practice calligraphy". On a serious note though, I do generally agree with what was said in the video, however I must say that learning to play an instrument can still be quite tedious and as such - you must truly enjoy it. There are both the question of talent and practice which are still in effect when you learn an instrument in most cases. The learning curve is quite steep and it will require dedication and time. Usually it is better to find a person that will teach you to play rather than do that on your own with some internet tutorials as usually there are many small details which should be considered while you play and it will be very rough for you to correct them later on because of the repetitive motions which are present with almost every, if not all, instruments - a knowledgeable person could easily see and correct those mistakes early on. Also in terms of talent - this question is quite relevant as there is indeed a difference. For someone who has natural musical hearing, it won't be hard to just memorize how an instrument sounds and than just be able to copy the music they hear on the flow. For others it might take days to just learn a piece that is very simplistic. Though you would still need to learn the musical grammar and in that term it's just a question of time and perception of information. And there are still small things like, for example, small hands which would make playing piano uncomfortable or you would need to get a custom one which is quite hard to do. And of course you must enjoy playing an instrument, whether it is a complex one requiring learning many techniques or something simple requiring just a sense of rhythm. If that doesn't scare you off - I think you would have a great bit of fun playing one =D

I totally agree, and i still think that most people would enjoy playing one, even if i know it's hard and tedious😂Even for pros and super talented people, it's the same thing

@@Carl-FriedrichWelker This is the part I disagree, there IS a major difference in terms of talent and time required to be able to play an instrument. I think it would also be fair to say that you don't have to learn an instrument in order to enjoy music and I still do think that at times frustration that the process of learning and playing an instrument brings does outweigh the joy in some cases. It might be a good enough reason to reconsider. And that's why I mentioned considering an instrument of different complexity because playing flute or drums, as I think, is a more simple yet enjoyable introduction to music performance if you are new to it. That's why not everyone is a musician and that's why people have different interests and hobbies. People are different and their interests are too.
