Teaching yourself to play a musical
instrument is probably the most difficult way – even though you have the
benefit that you can learn to play at your own pace, the lack of control makes
the process difficult. If you have been learning to play the drums on a specialized drum kit or instrument on your
own and you think you can do with some feedback, here are some tips for you:
- -Record yourself – you
might feel embarrassed to listen to your own playing in the beginning, but
recording your playing is actually among the most efficient ways to get
objective feedback – from yourself. Record your play, listen to it over and
over again and try to compare it to the original version that you used for
inspiration, you will learn a lot about your own style and about your mistakes
as well; - -Read theory about
posture and playing techniques – books are a great source of information about
how to stand or sit correctly while playing, about how the instrument makes
sound, about correct playing and about different playing styles, so books can
help you identify your mistakes and correct them, too; - -Use online tutorials –
with a little bit of self-criticism, you will be able to tell whether you are
playing the instrument right.
