So you are thinking about purchasing or have just got yourself a new drum kit and are asking yourself ‘how in the world do I set this up?’ Here are 7 steps for beginners to learn how to set up a drum kit.

How to Start Your Drum Kit Setup

![drum-setup.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/drum_setup_d69735bec3/drum_setup_d69735bec3.jpg)

Setting up your drum kit, as simple as it sounds, is actually one of the most important things to know before learning how to play. Proper angles and alignment will help you learn to play better and avoid injury. Below we’ve listed some simple steps to guide you along your journey, so let’s get your **drum set started!**

## 1. Drum Placement
Before setting anything up, you’ll want to consider where in the room you’d like your drum cage to be and which direction you want it to face. If you often rehearse or jam with other musicians, it would probably be better to **setup your drum kit** in a corner or with your back to a wall so you have a good view. 
 
> *A helpful tip: If your room has anything but carpeted flooring, put a rug down to protect your floors from the foot pedals and kick legs.*
 
Make sure wherever you decide that you have room to set up your drums on either side of your stool and still have enough room to get out behind you (if your back is against a wall.) You want to make sure your stool (also called a throne) is at the right height, slightly above 90°, thighs parallel to the ground with your knees slightly below the tops of your legs. Slight adjustments can help you find what feels the most comfortable as long as you maintain a good center of balance to move around the kit. 
 
Once in a comfortable position, it’s time to start bringing your drums in. 

## 2. Bass Drum
Your bass drum will be the center focal point of your drum kit. Fold the legs down and dig them into the rug or carpet to prevent them from moving by angling them slightly forward. *Another helpful tip is to raise the legs so the front of the bass drum is off the floor enough to compensate for the lift on the batter hoop when you slide your pedal clamp under it, this will also help the drum to resonate freely.* Fasten your bass pedal right in the center of your bass drum hoop.

## 3. Snare
Unfold your snare stand and adjust the height so you can easily hit the center of the drum without bumping your knees or hitting the rim. It’s a toss-up between leaving the snare flat or having it angled. Some drummers prefer to tilt the drum head slightly towards you so it follows the natural angle of your sticks while playing, while others keep it flat so their forearm and wrist are straight when hitting the middle. Find what suits your playing and stick-holding style best.

## 4. Toms
Toms can be attached either by mounting them on the bass drum, cymbal stands, or on a second snare stand (single rack toms are often on a second snare stand).
 
When arranging your tom heads imagine a half moon from the floor, over both toms, and back to the floor. The center of each tom should be cut in half by that imaginary line. Adjust them so they sit comfortably above the bass drum, but angled just enough that you’re not hitting the rims. Angling them too much is a common mistake for beginners as it wears out your heads faster and can cause injury over time by having to raise, lower, or move your shoulder and wrist in an unnatural way. 
 
You should be able to hold your sticks out in the middle of your high tom and then rotate - without changing the angle of your elbows- and have the ability to strike the center of your other two toms.
 
The same basic principle goes for your floor toms. It’s a good idea to mirror the height of your snare drum with the floor tom slightly angled towards you.

## 5. Hi-Hats
Next comes the hi-hats, which you want to set up in a similar way as your bass pedal. The bass and hi-hat pedals should be arranged in a ‘V’ formation, meaning when you look at the floor both pedals should be pointing towards you with the snare comfortably in the middle (without it touching your thighs). 
 
Hi-hat height is a personal choice as it depends a lot on your playing style, with punk and metal drummers placing it around chest height, and open-handed players (when your arms don’t cross over) keeping it quite low. Most drummers have them somewhere in between.
 
Now is a good time to double-check that you’re not overreaching for anything when setting up your drum kit. Center yourself and make sure your hi-hat and snare are easily reachable without overextending. 

## 6. Cymbals
Like the drums, you shouldn’t have difficulty reaching for any of the cymbals in a way that would compromise your center of gravity. At a bare minimum, you’ll need one crash and one ride cymbal, to begin with. A  recommended height for a single crash is just above the snare and high tom, and the ride cymbal should go high enough that you can get to your floor and low toms easily, but not so far as to have to overextend. It should also be angled towards you.

## 7. Finishing Touches
Now that you have your basics set up, it’s time to play on them and see if anything needs adjusting! Drums are incredibly customizable, so when in doubt- do what feels right! 
 
![electric-drums.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/electric_drums_2e897d43fe/electric_drums_2e897d43fe.jpg)

## Bonus: Electric Drums
If you’re someone who lives in an apartment building, condo, or duplex, you might not be able to pull off acoustic drums with your neighbors, but you can always **try out electric ones!** You’ll want to make sure you get a rug or other things to reduce and dampen your sound. You could even get a podium to place your kit on and help reduce the vibrations. 
 
To build your electric kit you’ll want to start with the rack. Make sure it’s on an even and level surface, and be sure to follow the instructions sent by the manufacturer, it will make the job much simpler than trying to work it out on your own. There’s no need to tighten your screws or bolts too tightly, in fact, it can be damaging as most of the pieces are plastic, just make sure they’re nice and sturdy and you’ll be good to go.
 
Next, you’ll want to start with your drum pads, you can leave the cymbals off for now as it’s easier to adjust the drum pads if you need to make changes. Sit at your stool and see where your feet fall naturally. Place your bass drum pedal on the right and your hi-hat pedal on the left, with the snare pad in between your legs. The toms will have a spot for them on the rack!
 
Repeat the previous step with the cymbals, and place them wherever feels most comfortable and without having to overreach. Keep those instructions handy as you’ll have to connect everything once it’s on the rack, but the cables should be labeled to help you attach all the right ones!
 
Lastly, you’ll need to make sure you’ve got a way to hear your e-kit! A good quality pair of headphones is always an excellent idea when you use an electronic instrument. 
 
And there you have it! A great alternative if you live somewhere where an acoustic drum kit would simply be too loud or bothersome. Electric kits are extremely customizable, so make sure to find the positioning and comfort level that works best for you!
 
**Not every drum setup will work for you, so it’s about experimenting with different placements to find your groove, but we hope these beginner steps helped you figure out where to start!**

While there are many great musicians who can play their instrument without reading sheet music, it is a very practical and beneficial skill to know. The idea of sheet music can sound very daunting, but when you break it down and learn it little by little, it becomes much more manageable!

How to Read Sheet Music for Beginners: A Step-by-Step Guide

![how to reading sheet music image.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/how_to_reading_sheet_music_image_338d99b137/how_to_reading_sheet_music_image_338d99b137.jpg)

Learning **how to read music** is like learning another language, it can look very complex, with all the letters, symbols, and other musical theory pieces that you might not understand. But just like a language, if you start with the basics and build your way up to the more complicated techniques, you can learn over time. In our step-by-step guide, we will help you learn **how to read sheet music**.
 
## Step 1 - The Staff

![Reading sheet 2 (1).jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/Reading_sheet_2_1_dca84d6628/Reading_sheet_2_1_dca84d6628.jpg)
 
The foundation of the musical language is the staff. It has 5 lines and 4 spaces, all a placeholder for music notes. Each line and space is correlated to a note, which is determined by the clef. There are two clefs - treble and bass. 
 
The treble clef (shown below) is also known as the G-clef. This is because the G’s inner swoop circles the second line of the staff, which is the G note.
 
![Reading sheet 3.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/Reading_sheet_3_42fe98835a/Reading_sheet_3_42fe98835a.jpg)
 
Many people use acronyms to remember the treble clef notes, pictured are the notes separated into what notes are on each line and space, and below that is every note on the treble clef. 
 
Some common acronyms are *“Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge”,* and *“Elvis’ Guitar Broke Down Friday”*, but you can come up with any acronym that helps you remember E G B D F, and most people remember F A C E because it spells face.
 
The second clef is the bass clef, the treble clef notates the higher pitched notes, and the bass clef notates the lower notes. 
 
![Reading sheet 4.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/Reading_sheet_4_9dfd4f3d4f/Reading_sheet_4_9dfd4f3d4f.jpg)
 
A common acronym to remember these line notes is *“Good Boys Deserve Fudge Always”* or *“Good Boys Do Fine Always”*. And for the spaces: *“All Cows Eat Grass”*.
 
## Step 2 - The Notes 
All notes have a note head, a stem, and sometimes a flag. 
 
The note head is either black or white and tells the performer which notes to play. The stem is the thin vertical line attached to the note head. It joins on the right side of the note head when the stem is pointing up, and on the left side of the note head when it’s pointing down. The direction of the stem has no effect on the note, but it makes notation easier to read and less cluttered. The flag is the curved stroke attached to the end of the stem and is always on the right. 
 
## Step 3 - Note Value
Now that you know the parts of the note, another aspect of **reading music** is the note values. These tell us how many times to play a note in a measure (also called **bars**). 

![Reading sheet 5.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/Reading_sheet_5_5e25d93b71/Reading_sheet_5_5e25d93b71.jpg) 
 
You’ve got whole, half, quarter, eighth, and sixteenth notes, all of these tell musicians how long they need to hold a note. For example, when playing guitar, a whole note (in a time signature of 4/4- more on that later) would be strummed one time for a count of 4, versus a quarter note would be strummed 4 times in the count of 4. 
 
![Reading sheet 6.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/Reading_sheet_6_0c6d698e48/Reading_sheet_6_0c6d698e48.jpg)
 
So in this example, there are 4 beats per bar and each beat is a quarter note. However, you could have (¾) and it would indicate there are 3 beats per bar and each note is a quarter note. There are more complex time signatures such as 6/8 or 9/8, but the principle remains the same. There are 6 or 9 beats per bar, and each beat is an eight note.


## Step 4 - Sharps & Flats
Something that can look quite confusing when learning **how to read sheet music** is the sharps and flats on the staff. These are also called accidentals, and there are 5 types. 
 
![Reading sheet 7.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/Reading_sheet_7_8ac200b0a7/Reading_sheet_7_8ac200b0a7.jpg)
 
Accidentals are placed in front of the note they affect, and they only affect the note in that measure unless there is a *tied note*.
 
Two notes tied together should be held as long as the value of both of those notes together, and ties are commonly used to signify held notes that cross measures or bars. It looks like this:
 
![Reading sheet 8.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/Reading_sheet_8_351b39a55c/Reading_sheet_8_351b39a55c.jpg) 
 
- **See also:** [5 Tips for Anyone Who Wants to Learn to Play an Instrument](https://moises.ai/blog/tips-learn-to-play-an-instrument/)

## Step 5 - Ledger Lines
Ledger lines show a note located above or below the regular lines and spaces of the staff. ‘Middle C’ is one of the first notes music students learn because it’s located on a ledger line between the bass clef and treble clef. Ledger lines are used occasionally in music notation because it makes the notes easier to read than having to change between clefs. Though there can be an infinite number of ledger lines above or below any staff, it becomes difficult to read the music if there are more than three. At that point, it is worth it simply to change staffs.
 
![Reading sheet 9.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/Reading_sheet_9_b6edda6b92/Reading_sheet_9_b6edda6b92.jpg)
 
## Step 6 - Keep Learning
While this may all seem confusing or overwhelming, Rome wasn’t built in a day, it takes some time to learn the nuances of **reading sheet music**. What we’ve discussed today doesn’t cover everything about sheet music, there are rests, dotted notes, and more, but this will give you a good foundation to begin your sheet music journey! 
 
It also helps to learn this knowledge in different ways, for example, if you’re a tactile learner, watch some videos about practically applying sheet music to your specified instrument. If you’re an auditory learner, you can listen to a podcast or video to help you understand further. **Don’t limit yourself! Find what works best for you and go with it, you can do hard things!**

Ever tried to use a sample in a song you’re producing but the key doesn’t fit? Or sing a song but it was just out of your range? It’s time to use transposition to change the pitch of a song!

How to Change the Pitch of a Song

![Pitch changer.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/Pitch_changer_207ff14525/Pitch_changer_207ff14525.jpg)

In production, singing, or playing an instrument, knowing what, why, and **how to change the pitch of a song** can make a world of difference and can be extremely helpful in your musical practice.

## What is pitch?
In order to learn **how to change the pitch of a song**, we must first dive into what pitch actually is to begin with. Pitch is defined as the quality that makes it possible to judge a sound as ‘higher’ and ‘lower’ in association with musical melodies.
 
The frequencies of sound waves (created from vibrations) are measured in hertz or Hz. Humans can generally hear from 20Hz (low pitch) to 20,000 Hz (high pitch), whereas other animals (such as dogs, bats, dolphins, etc) can hear what we call Ultrasound, where it passes 20,000 hertz.

## What is transposition?
When we move a collection of notes up or down in pitch, **we are *transposing***. While transposing you are moving the notes up or down by **semitones**, which are the smallest interval between two notes and can also be referred to as a half step. This is important to know because if you want to transpose a song from one key to the next, you need to know if you need to pitch by 1 or 2 semitones.
 
Knowing all this can help you tremendously along your musical journey, because as mentioned at the beginning, if you have a song that you’re trying to sing along to or a project you’re producing with a sample in the wrong key, pitch-shifting is vital to crafting music to fit into what you need.

## Quality of pitch-shifting
You might be wondering if your work will lose quality through the process of changing the pitch, and the answer is no! What CAN happen is that the song can begin to sound somewhat distorted. 
 
Most software is very advanced and much better than what it used to be, but if you manipulate the song too much, it can cause sound distortion and sound like it’s lost some of its original quality. Still, you can attempt to save as much quality as possible by being sure to use high-quality audio files, and use files or samples with a high sample rate of 96kHz or more rather than the usual 44.1kHz or 48kHz.
 
So now we know the musical theory and technicality behind it, let’s talk about **the best app to change the pitch of a song - Moises App** - and how to do it!

## How to change the pitch of a song with Moises 
With Moises, this process is incredibly easy. **Moises App** features an exclusive [Pitch Changer & AI Key Detection](https://moises.ai/features/song-key-finder-pitch-changer/) technology, allowing you to change the pitch of ANY song.

In this exclusive interview, the musician from Dream Theater talks about how Music and tech are intertwined in his creative process.

Sound Explorer: How Jordan Rudess Work has been Inspired by New Music Technologies


![Entrevista Jordan 1.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/Entrevista_Jordan_1_6a0bd71323/Entrevista_Jordan_1_6a0bd71323.jpg)

Technology has impacted how people practice, create and perform music, and has definitely changed the musical learning process over the years. It certainly has influenced **Jordan Rudess's** work for good, as he tells in this exclusive interview. 

## A world-class musician with a stellar musical education
Rudess is a keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist and composer for the **Grammy-Award-winning band Dream Theater.** You will also find him jamming with his group, Liquid Tension Experiment, where he connects with John Petrucci, Mike Portnoy, and bassist Tony Levin.
 
If you haven't met Jordan Rudess’ work, keep it in mind: he is a multifaceted man. He is an educator at heart, author of keyboard technique books, and also runs an [Online Music Conservatory](https://www.jroc.us/), which offers courses and lessons on everything from basic music fundamentals to advanced exercises that Jordan has personally developed over the years.
 
Many consider him a virtuoso, and it has everything to do with his early music upbringing. **Jordan attended The Juilliard School**, a world leader in performing arts education, at age 9. In his teens, he had become a tech lover and started including synthesizers in his performances. 

![Entrevista Jordan 2.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/Entrevista_Jordan_2_5472573768/Entrevista_Jordan_2_5472573768.jpg)

## Music and technology: irreversibly intertwined in Jordan's creative process 
Jordan is passionate about music and technology, and for over a decade has been working in the exciting intersection of both areas. Apart from being on stage with the upcoming Dream Theater tour, he has hit the business road as the owner of [Wizdom Music, an App development company](https://www.jordanrudess.com/wizdom-music/) that has developed award-winning apps. 
 
We spoke with Rudess about the use of technology in music, his creative process, and much more. Check it out: 
 
**MOISES: How old were you when you started practicing music? Was it keys from the beginning?**

*JORDAN RUDESS:* I was 7 years old. I had a teacher that recognized that I had a good ear, so he threw the little red book out the window and taught me the chords and how to improvise. After it was discovered that I had some talent, my parents got me a proper classical teacher, and I auditioned for Juilliard and started going there at age 9.

**MOISES: You are a tech enthusiast. What do you think about using technology in music?** 

*JORDAN RUDESS:* It is incredible to think about the opportunities that music technology can offer. From musical expression to audio analysis, tech that provides advanced entertainment to tools that help educate students and train the musician.

**MOISES: Technology has been helping musicians to craft their performances. What was it like using Moises to perform live at NAMM?** 

*JORDAN RUDESS:* Amazing! I knew it would be interesting to use Moises in performance - but when I actually performed with it, I quickly realized that it opens up wonderful musical possibilities that were never available to me before.

**MOISES: We just launched the Moises iPad App and are delighted to have you as an enthusiast! How is Moises part of your daily life?**

*JORDAN RUDESS:* Discovering Moises was an awakening for me. I love it. It puts so many advanced musical tools logically in one environment, it’s like a dream come true. I use it to do duets with singers I like by soloing out their parts. I use it to practice guitar by slowing down sections and muting guitar parts while leaving bass and drums.

**MOISES: What’s it like when you are writing new songs? Do you have any preparation or ritual?**

*JORDAN RUDESS:* Once the creative wheels are flowing it’s usually like an unstoppable train. I’m an improviser and I love to sit down at my instrument and create new ideas. I also enjoy writing music in different ways. A lot of times I start with a piano sound and then orchestrate things later and even remove the piano. Sometimes things start with a drum groove or bass line. Technology can also certainly influence my writing.

![Entrevista Jordan.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/Entrevista_Jordan_aba635c8e7/Entrevista_Jordan_aba635c8e7.jpg) 

**MOISES: You are very interested in education and in educating. How do you use Moises to educate yourself through practice?**

*JORDAN RUDESS:* It is incredible to have access to features like Pitch Changer and AI Key Detection, and beyond that, even seeing what chords are being used. What an amazing gift for musicians and students to have this software. When I grew up there was nothing like this. It's about giving access to information and Moises makes it possible to really go in deep and get that information from the music.

> “I’m currently going back to the music that I grew up with and using track separation to hear music I’ve loved on a whole different level. Things like “YES- And You and I” or parts of Dark Side of the Moon are blowing my mind once again after separating all the tracks!”

**MOISES: Would you mind sharing with us a practicing tip using Moises iPad App?**

*JORDAN RUDESS:* One of my favorite things to do is load in a song, and then turn on the [Smart Metronome feature](https://moises.ai/features/metronome-audio-speed-changer/) and slow the whole thing down without changing the pitch. Practicing parts slowly with the metronome and then gradually increasing the speed is the best way to really master a part! If you want a REAL challenge, try changing the key up a step and play the song transposed! The Chord display will really help you in this case.

**MOISES: How to improve improvisation on the keyboard, specifically in Latin music? What would be the golden keyboard tip for beginners?**

*JORDAN RUDESS:* Being able to improvise on the keyboard means being able to find all the chords and their inversions quickly. This takes time. Also improvising is almost like talking in the sense that you are calling upon musical words and putting together “sentences like musical phrases”. One has to develop their musical vocabulary to speak the musical language. Of course in Latin music, the rhythm component is key and needs to be studied! That's a whole subject matter unto itself!!

**MOISES: Dream Theater is going on tour. What is the best part about it? Is there a study and rehearsal routine when you are on tour?**

*JORDAN RUDESS:* I love traveling to all the different countries and feeling all the different cultures. I’m someone who goes out and walks a lot so I experience many of the sights and sounds of a place! Generally, Dream Theater works together for a couple of solid weeks but of course, the individual preparation goes beyond that! I generally start programming sounds on my keyboard months before a tour and also work on the hard sections with Moises to help slow things down at first and then bring it up to speed!

Moises iPad App: A New Way to Play Live

![[Blog]-Cover.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/Blog_Cover_6c5c515dda/Blog_Cover_6c5c515dda.jpg)

A few months ago, we noticed something interesting: **several users had downloaded Moises App for iPhone on their iPads**. Oh boy, what is going on? So, as usual, we contacted our users to talk about music and their needs, and guess what we discovered? **Some musicians needed a bigger screen**. Who doesn't? 

We started our effort to deliver a great experience on the iPad, and our UX/UI team didn't rest until they achieved it. Any great app grows with the users' feedback, and because of you, the musicians in our community, **the Moises iPad App was born**.

The first musician to use Moises App on an iPad was the great **Jordan Rudess**, Dream Theater's keyboardist, and Moises Ambassador. With this phenomenal musician teaching us about stage needs, we thought of the iPad App for those who want to play live and rehearse when it's vital you cannot miss one single detail. We understood that visibility is critical for gear and apps used on stage.

At the [NAMM Show 2022](https://moises.ai/blog/2022-namm-show-jordan-rudess/), Jordan performed using Moises App for a crowd and mesmerized them. The possibility of playing along with Elton John's songs without a band was the highlight of the demo.

## More visibility of your actions, more control of your performance

And how can musicians get the maximum out of Moises App on iPad? Well, it is perfect for those who need more visibility of faders, more comfort to manipulate the app on a bigger screen (avoiding errors), and want that "PRO feeling" usually felt when we use professional gear.

The Moises App on your cellphone is perfect for creating and practicing on the go, in your home studio, or living room. “This cozy environment is excellent for learning.” 

But, when you are rehearsing, there is no room for small screens. When you are live on stage, mistakes are never welcome. Using the new iPad App in landscape view gives even more control and accuracy to musicians.

## What's new lately?

Moises is constantly getting smarter, and [we have launched quite a few updates this year](https://moises.ai/blog/moises-features/)! We are continually looking for new and innovative ways to make the super technical super approachable, and we have big plans for the following months.

Learning to play a musical instrument is a fascinating thing, requiring both effort and dedication. Anyone can do it, regardless of age, the important thing is to start studying. In this article, you will find some essential tips to start playing an instrument. Check it out!

5 Tips for Anyone Who Wants to Learn to Play an Instrument

![5 Dicas para Quem quer Aprender a Tocar um Instrumento Musical.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/moises-cms/5_Dicas_para_Quem_quer_Aprender_a_Tocar_um_Instrumento_Musical_7e4a05ab0f/5_Dicas_para_Quem_quer_Aprender_a_Tocar_um_Instrumento_Musical_7e4a05ab0f.jpg)

Learning to **play a musical instrument** can be pretty challenging. Regardless of the difficulty, you must dedicate yourself to your studies, have patience, and practice to the fullest. Contrary to what many people think, even the most famous musicians started from scratch and needed to study to stand out in the artistic world. **Anyone can learn to play an instrument**, as long as they choose the one that sparks their passion and develops their skills.

Now that we know the difficulties and challenges faced at the beginning of this learning journey, here are 5 tips to make the path easier and more enjoyable. Let's go!

## 1. Choose a Musical Instrument

Have you ever thought about choosing an instrument according to the style of music you most enjoy listening to? Giving it some thought is a great starting point to determine which instrument you will play. In this case, it is important that you keep in mind that you need an instrument that will support all the knowledge you will acquire.

For starters, one of the best options is to choose an instrument that is relatively easy to play. Consider that each musical instrument has a certain degree of difficulty. Therefore, depending on their specific characteristics, some may be easier to learn than others.

However, **choosing an instrument of your preference is crucial for your progress.** Playing what you have always wanted can be a decisive factor in your performance!

## 2. Define How You Will Study

After choosing the instrument you want to learn, the next step is to decide the study method that suits your needs and routine.

Some people prefer to learn to play an instrument independently and can resort to some free or paid online support resources. **The [Moises App](https://moises.ai/products/moises-app/), for example, is a great partner when studying.** With it, you can identify what is happening in a song, its chords and keys, and [remove the vocals](https://moises.ai/features/vocal-remover/) to focus only on the instrumental tracks. Plus, you can learn from your favorite artist and study your favorite songs.

Yes, you can be self-taught and choose to learn to play an instrument at home through online content. However, although the internet is rich in information, **learning from a teacher makes all the difference**, especially in art and music. The fact is that **without the help of a professional, you cannot see all your mistakes, or see the finer details and improve your technique in the right way.** 

That's why some people prioritize going to school, taking music lessons, and having the help of a teacher. One of the benefits of studying in a school is living with several professionals in the artistic field. Getting to know opinions, works, musical groups, and having contact with teachers and students allows you to see music from other perspectives and gain a greater musical sensibility to play your own instrument.

## 3. Focus on Music Theory Learning
When learning an instrument, it is common to think that practice alone is enough to master it. But whoever thinks that way is wrong. Except for the few geniuses in the history of music, to become a good instrumentalist, it is necessary to know the norms that determine the spelling of sounds and the values that establish communication through music.

If you want to start playing instruments the right way, you need to begin your musical studies with theory. Not that this is a must, but **focusing on learning theory** is an excellent way to understand how the structure of this unique language works and to develop an improved musical awareness in the future. 

Just think of the process of learning a new language. You may even learn to speak long before you know the theory, but the more you study and expand your knowledge, the greater your ability to articulate ideas and thoughts.

From this perspective, **music theory takes your creativity to another level**. It enables you to develop your style concerning chord characterization, note structure, transitions, and many other music-related things.

In addition to all this, if you want to **learn to play an instrument**, looking for a good [music school](https://moises.ai/blog/famous-musicians-studied-music/) to study theory is an excellent way to start.

## 4. Practice and Persist
The whole process requires time and continuity. It is common for people to give up in the first few weeks or months because they believe that playing a complete song is impossible. But it isn't! Before you create high expectations for getting a good sound out of the instrument, you need to be understanding of yourself and know that it will take time and patience.

> The first chords and notes will require a lot of training, but they will bring you a lot of satisfaction and a feeling of achievement once you’ve mastered them.

What will get you to perform the songs wholly and correctly is **practice**. Without it, you won't be able to develop, or you will spend too much time playing the same songs over and over. Stick to your studies and do basic exercises to develop yourself little by little. Because, as mentioned above, part of the success in learning to play a musical instrument is your training and effort. 

To achieve a more refined technique, it is important that, in addition to classes, you dedicate a few hours a day to studies. If time is an issue, take 10 or 15 minutes a day to maintain minimal contact with your instrument. Practicing in your spare time can also be a fun and pleasurable habit that can be held daily. 

You can count on the [Moises App](https://moises.ai/products/moises-app/) to help you in your practice sessions. With it, you can generate metronome counts, change the speed of a song, remove or isolate vocals and instruments, and much more. Creative control is all yours!

If learning an instrument is your goal, embrace the cause and persist a little longer! A good tip when you’re feeling discouraged is to listen to your favorite artist and try to play your favorite songs.

## 5. Find a Motivation
It may sound cliché, but finding the motivation to continue the journey is of utmost importance at the beginning. Each person develops their own ways of motivating themselves - you may be inspired by a famous instrumentalist or musician, want to stick out in your circle of friends, or are simply looking for the [**benefits of playing an instrument**](https://moises.ai/blog/benefits-of-playing-an-instrument/).

To keep yourself excited, try to visualize what your goal is with practicing your chosen instrument. Why did you start playing drums or guitar, for example? What motivated you to buy the instrument? Why do you want to learn to play a musical instrument?

Take the time to answer these questions and recapture the excitement of when you started. Find these answers and use them to increase your motivation!

### Set Goals and Objectives
**Another way to stay motivated is to set short, medium, and long-term goals.** You can set defined goals such as: wanting to attend a certain amount of classes in two months, give a live presentation in six months, and so on.

In addition to notes taken in class, use a specific notebook to keep track of your practice goals and discoveries throughout your workouts. This is an efficient way to stay excited and also keep track of your progress by date.

**Now that you know where to start when learning to play an instrument, begin your studies and share your journey with us!**
