Great Video and interesting topic, but I think there are two important things to consider that are missing from this video.
1. The Piano is a great instrument for many purposes and it can help greatly to get a basic understanding of the note system and harmony but it is arguably the only instrument you can play without annoying your neighbours! Most people have an electric piano anyway and no other instrument is so easily muted and remains the same to play!
2. Some people will be happy just playing by themselves but many pick up an instrument in order to make music with others. And though there are amateur string orchestras, in my experience they usually aren't that good and wind bands are way more common! I can name 10 wind orchestras for every symphonic orchestra in my region. So if you want to play an instrument together with others and often as well, then you should pick a wind instrument (my advice would be if you want something cheap, trumpet. And if you want a jack of all trades: The Saxophone - can be used in basically every music genre and it's not too hard to start on)

I agree with the entry curve for the guitar, as long as we are talking strummed, popular guitar. Classical guitar can take a good six months of proper study to be able to play some basic beautiful lessons: Sagreras, Carulli, Giuliani. But all of us start strumming pop songs we like, so point taken.

I strongly agree with this video. There’s a reason why keyboard studies are required for music majors!

As someone who has played all these instruments, each one gave me a new perspective on music. Also, since these five instruments are so versatile, I’ve gotten to play in so many different settings and genres.

Keep up the great work!

Piano is fundamental! I couldn’t have possibly passed my Harmony 101 class in college without it. ❤

I’m glad that you added the part about you singing in public all the time. Keep it transparent 👍

Ngl Guitar better be at the top of everyone’s list as far as swag goes but the piano is the foundation I hope to one day dabble in. Fire vid lad 👏

I would replace guitar on the ranking with something else, perhaps flute. Look, I can ramble indefinitely on how overrated the guitar is, but that isn’t even the biggest problem.

The problem with guitar, specifically pop guitar pedagogy, is that you’re literally just told to learn shapes to put your fingers and strum. Although this lowers the learning curve, it ultimately teaches you nothing about how music or chords work. Most aspiring guitarists never graduate from reading basic chord changes and tablature. You can’t read music that isn’t written for your instrument, and you can’t improvise.

Now classical guitar pedagogy fixes those problems. But good luck finding a teacher that actually knows classical guitar. And you also lose the easy learning curve because you have to actually understand where every note on your instrument is and how to read music.

Why did I mention flute as a replacement? It’s an orchestral instrument that is extremely cheap compared to the violin (a violin that doesn’t sound like crap), extremely portable, and the learning curve basically ends once you learn how to create a sound. Fingering is pretty simple
