My hand joints are getting better finally and I wanna learn an instrument. The thing is, I’m dumb and have struggled really badly with reading music in the past.

    Hmm, I’d say the Theramin is easy to have fun with, but to actually learn to play songs it is up there in difficulty with the violin. It is one of, if not THE most precise instrument there is.

      A cheap, crappy theramin is harder to play than a really good one. It’s pretty easy to play and learn regardless; you just hold your hand in the right spot… It’s a lot less complicated than fingering a stringed instrument.

      Just like a harmonica; I can play things on one off sheet music, but it’s not like I’m capable of busting out Blues Traveler solos. Easy to pick up and learn; but it’s not quite as easy to master.
