By Amanda Baird


Learning to play a musical instrument is a common goal for many including aspiring african american country singers. Some people may possess a natural talent for music and not need any formal training but by and large many at least need some guidance. Check out several venues that offer music instruction.

Public schools offer music instruction. Instruction is generally given a group environment starting in elementary or middle school. By the time a student reaches high school, beginning classes may be unavailable. The only charge usually associated with learning to play an instrument in a public school is the purchase or rental of an instrument.

Serious students may have the chance to take private lessons via the school system either after school or on the weekend at no further charge to them. Private teaching may allow students to take up an additional instrument not usually offered in the course of the school day such as mandolin, piano, guitar or banjo. In some programs, a music theory class may also be taken.

A student that does not wish to take music in school should see if classes are offered through his local department of parks and recreation. A recreation centers may hold guitar or piano classes. These classes are usually limited to young children and sometimes teenagers. A small fee is also charged but in some localities is waived based on certain criteria.

Private lessons, although more costly allows students to develop faster. Lessons at a music instrument stores are usually open to everyone.
