Can you learn how to play the guitar and piano at the same time?

Question

I have been playing the violin for 5 years (going into 6th year now) and i was thinking about learning the piano and guitar. i mean, i already can read music (of course i have to learn more and stuff for the instruments) but can you learn both at the same time? (with someone to teach me lessons)

thanks <3

Answer 1

I say yes.

Im 13 and I take lessons for both. But I think you should start one and then after a month or two start the other.

I started with piano and I think its easier than the learnig how to play the guitar...

Answer 2

Go ahead! Not to brag, but I&#039;m learning four right now. It&#039;s good to get a little break from one instrument.

Answer 3

of course anything is possible... but if u only learn one at a time more emphasis would be placed on the single instrument.

good luck

Answer 4

Well, why couldn&#039;t you learn both?...

Answer 5

I suppose you could learn as many instruments at once as you want to.  It&#039;s probably mainly a question of how much time you have available to practice.  

If you&#039;re wanting to learn both, though, I&#039;d highly recommend taking a year of piano before starting guitar.  That way you&#039;ll actually understand what a chord is and how they fit together before trying to apply that to a guitar.

Answer 6

yes, playing the piano could actually make it easier to play other instruments, many musicians start out on the piano
