My advice - for what its worth. Choose your instrument, no matter what it is, play about a bit and if you enjoy the sounds you´re making and it sounds like it could be music - then it IS music! I´ve never felt that music is about technical perfection or "learning" an instrument. Its all about the pure fun of playing and if thats there, you´ll be surprised at how quickly you progress. Reading notes is a luxury but it certainly opens a lot of new doors once you get the hang of it Its a bit like learning to drive - once you´ve mastered it, its there forever. All the best, John
