What should I learn?

[Mattasaur94]

Ohkay, I'm starting a thing called 'Duke of Edinburgh' in School, and I have to learn one skill, I decided to do something musical, seeing as the rest of my family is musically talented and I'm well... I was only good at singing untill I hit puberty, then I never really got back into it...

So, just wondering, any ideas on what instrument to learn?
I know my basic keys on the piano/keyboard, my house is full of guitars, keyboards, a piano accordian, drums, didgeridoo's and what not, but I was thinking someone could give me some ideas or point out the positives and negatives for different instruments?

Originally I wanted to do something amazing, like the piano accordian, becuase it's kind of cool and we have one at home, but I can't find any teachers for it, and the course says I have to have an actual teacher, so at the moment I was thinking either just going guitar, piano or propper singing lessons or an electric triangle of some form ;).

Any ideas, opinions and things, please, share. I'd like to find something fun and enjoyable, I'm a relatively quick learner if that changes anything. (:

Thanks in advance.

alrite :) i do DOE as well wat i do is i take piano lessons which is gr8 cause ur into singing, which u shudnt giv up jus cause ur voice is breaking. I sing nd lol dont mean 2 brag, am pretty gd i hav been told lol and i perfom a bit :D so anyways wat u shud do is lean keyboard and once u get good at that try writing your own songs and try and compose some music to go with them. All you need to know are the baisics of the keyboard to do this and if a family member knows ask them to tech u. And u dont need an actual teacher to teach u for the course u jus need some1 like your music teacher to monitor ur progress so learn at home then go 2 ur teacher at skool and play for them and they'll sign ur book :)

Ohkay cool.
See, in year 7 I learnt the basic keyboard notes and things,
Also I've kind of already passed the voice breaking stage, It's pretty much finished now, but yea.
That's heaps cool. :D
I guess now it's just a matter of putting the effort in to actually do it, right? :p
I might steal my sisters keyboard... She doesn't use it... Hehe

Cool. ^^ I'll give it a go, thanks heaps. :D
(The Piano Accordian would be heaps of fun to learn, but it confuses me waaayyy too much..)
