The flaw there is, if I basically turn out to be no good at it, or I turn out to get bored by it, it’ll cost me a couple of hundred quid to find that out…</p> Yeah, I thought of piano lessons.

I can teach you if you aren’t infuriating to teach. It has the following advantages: it is the basis of most blues, jazz, and rock (e.g. everything the Stones did, although I’m sure that’s not selling it to you), there’s no need to read music, and it gets you using chords, which is what makes a piano interesting. I think you can play a single finger version of The First Noel by starting on a C and going straight up and down the keys, i.e. without skipping any. We have an 80s small-key Yamaha keyboard: I bet your piano doesn’t have a helicopter noise on it. Ha! I assume the instrument is ultimately for Niamh’s benefit.</p> Learn to do a simple 12 bar blues, which my brother taught me and is (besides some early recorder lessons) the basis of my vast musical talent.

Like you, I don’t really want to just dive straight into lessons.
