Learning music is not something that promises immediate success. The physical skills involved can take quite a while to develop to a high level. The mental understanding of music theory and the language of music is likewise a long-term undertaking. However, if you enjoy the process of hanging out with an instrument (voice included) and learning how to make it sing, you'll be well rewarded at every stage of your progress.
Regular daily practice is most effective. If you can average 30 minutes a day, you'll make good progress. For younger students, 20 minutes a day is often sufficient. Of course there will be days when you're busy schedule may not permit playing for 30 minutes. However, you will be well served if you can at least pick up the instrument for 5 minutes. Don't let a day go by without getting some playing in, and try to average 20-30 minutes per day over the course of a week. It's important that you start learning the right techniques, because this will prevent you from having to re teach yourself, as well as saving you a big bunch of time.
Studies show that music education can dramatically contribute to a child's ability to learn, think and create. Much like participating in a sport, music lessons can teach discipline and team building skills. So this is a very good opportunity to start early with your kids. Remember that if you get musical at an early stage, it will very often affect your creativity.
Now, if you do follow some easy guidelines you can become very good at any given instruments you play on. Just be disciplined, teach the right techniques and take breaks. Then, you will over time get very good at your instrument, no matter how new beginner you are .
