I've been practicing piano and drums a lot. As a kid I used to be an instrumentalist (and played a bunch of different instruments in bands). Lately I haven't performed anything. To be fair, my current music is better, but I think I miss the pride in being able to perform something right then and there.
So I am now working on a routine practicing piano and drums almost daily. I'm considering getting lessons again, but not sure how much that would help a 29 year old.
Oh and I have been trying to sell some stuff. I've got a Drumbrute Impact and an MPC Live II left. Not getting much interest in those sadly.
I'm 46, and I'd say my keyboard skills have recently finally graduated from mediocre to less-than-mediocre. It's never too late.
Oh I’m not doubting that I’ll improve from practice. I’m wondering if there’s any sense in getting regular lessons.
Definitely. For motivational and technical reasons, it's always good to learn from someone who knows what they're doing.
I recently started recording full takes instead of sequencing/sampling, and it was very humbling to learn how much I need to improve as a player.
If you find the right teacher and are willing to do the practice, lessons will go a long way.
