Music is all around us. We hear it, and we love it. Some of us have played instruments throughout our lifetime while others want to get started playing something (never too late). Before starting, you may question what the “easiest” instrument to learn to play would be. While not recommended to take the easiest route, there is an instrument that should be easier to learn than the others.

The Easiest Instrument To Learn

This four-stringed charmer may look unassuming, but the ukulele packs a punch. Its nylon strings are gentle on the fingertips, making it easier to learn than steel-stringed instruments. The compact size is ideal for all ages and body types, allowing children and adults alike to comfortably cradle the instrument. This would be the ideal “beginner” instrument and also the easiest to learn.

Close behind, the piano and keyboard are also simple to get the hang of and have a very ease-of-access for playing. You can learn piano very fast if you are determined and if you are natural at it (which some people are). I prefer piano personally because you can make beautiful music on it, though it does take a lot of time to learn more difficult songs. Though, the journey is rewarding.
