One of the most important factors when deciding to learn acoustic guitar is how much you are willing to spend over a period of time. A beginners model should be as simple as possible, and able to stand up to extensive wear and tear. Although it is not recommended to buy a guitar that might crack easily, or require constant restringing, it will remove some financial considerations. Second hand shops are ideal for picking up this type of guitar. You’d also be surprised how many people have given up playing, but haven’t been able to get rid of the guitar itself. By comparison, spending a lot at an early stage on a new acoustic guitar can mean that you don’t need to change models if you decide to pursue more public performances, or decide that you want to try recording yourself. In either case, it is worth discussing a choice of guitar with your teacher, and comparing prices before committing yourself to a model.

One of the foremost things that a lesson in playing piano should teach you is the right posture. You need to sit erect with your fingers poised over the keys in the right manner in order to be able to play for long periods without feeling uncomfortable. Good piano lessons always begin with the right sitting position. The stool that you use for sitting has to be of suitable height so that when you play, your forearms are exactly horizontal to the ground. Improper sitting position can develop pain in your forearms. Secondly, the lesson has to teach you how to use all your fingers optimally. The movement of each finger over different keys lets you play uninterrupted music and both hands have to move uniformly. This requires practice because you always tend to use your writing hand more than the other. Also, a piano lesson should teach you the right way of reading music.
