First time I’ve been feeling lonely this year, ik this is in stark contrast with the time of the year but I wasn’t able to perform in my school annual function (I really wanted to) and for some reason I have been feeling lonely since, what do you do when you feel like this?

    short musical number

    Idk what you mean by this but playing an instrument is something i want, it’s a shame I can’t afford one rn, one of the main reasons I want to get a part time job

      Do you honestly not have a single dollar or euro to spend on an instrument? Instruments don’t have to be expensive and you can find beginner instruments that are exceptionally cheap.

      What instrument would you like to learn and how much could you realistically afford to do so?

        I am a student and waste my parents money, i agree they are not expensive but they are not cheap either, i cant afford them with my allowance, and i don’t want to ask my parents because i think that they are already troubled enough

        Actually I have been saving money but at such a slow rate that it would probably take me like 2 years

        What instrument would you like to learn

        I want to learn a bass guitar, in fact that’s why i took part in the function(concert) but i was let down spectacularly by my teachers (and somewhat my luck as well)

        Edit: i realized that that the second part didn’t make sense My school has a bass guitar that no one uses

          Hey, of course I don’t know your financial capabilities and the height of your allowance but I encourage you to not give up on your intention to learn bass guitar.

          I don’t know where you’re located and what possibilities you have to find used instruments but here in Germany you can find used bass guitars on a portal called “Kleinanzeigen” (the German equivalent to Craigslist I think) for very little money or for free. Just keep looking.

          Also on our big instrument online shop “thomann.de” you find beginner bass guitars for less than 100 €. I am sure you find similarly cheap bass guitars where you live.

          Long story short: Don’t give up learning an instrument and have the courage to ask people around you to support you.
