my band room! 🎤🎸🥁🎹
hello everyone!!
so excited to be back here posting again after reaching 6 followers!! woo!! thankful that you’re on this journey with me <3
i figured i’d break up my posts about packing/moving (assuming tomorrow i will be able to show y’all the fully-packed stuff i’ll be bringing with me) and make a little post dedicated to my band room!
*not pictured: my Fender Jazz Bass and my Billie Eilish Fender Ukulele.
this band room has been a safe-haven for me, and i have learned and processed so much with these instruments. fun-girl-boss-fact: i taught myself to play all of these on my own! except for drums, that was my first instrument and i had the best teacher: my mom. she played in a band for 15+ years on the kit so who to learn better from (she’s kinda badass ik)? from then on, i fell in love with being a musician and wanted to get my hands on whatever they could figure out enough to make a good sound.
my favorite instrument to play is drums since it was my first and there’s so much variation and fun you can have with them, exerting a lot of energy or barely any at all, hitting the cymbals in different places to match a tone of a different song, etc. i see the way i drum as so fluid and connected, yet i also go ham on that thang 😎😮💨 my second favorite’s gotta be ukulele, it’s such a fun little instrument to play around with and as a shorter girl with smaller hands, it makes me feel happy when i’m at least able to fingerpick a uke (getting there on guitar though?… work in progress). i really do love all these though and i love bouncing between them and being my own one-woman band.
do you guys see any instruments you play, have played, or want to try? share your stories in the comments!!

A band room can be more than just a space—it's a sanctuary where creativity thrives. My band room showcases a range of instruments that have become a significant part of my life. The importance of self-teaching in music, especially for instruments such as the drums and ukulele, cannot be overstated. Drums, often regarded as one of the most energetic instruments, allow for a different kind of expression, while instruments like the ukulele bring joy through their playful sounds. Each instrument offers its unique character and style, inviting moments of solitude and collaboration. For budding musicians, setting up a dedicated space to explore music can significantly enhance learning experiences. Having a variety of instruments can lead to discovering new sounds and expanding musical horizons. Tools like guitar pedal effects and amplifiers, as noted in my setup, can add dimensions to the music that resonates with personal style. Music brings people together, and sharing experiences, such as favorite instruments or memories tied to certain songs, fosters community. So, what instruments have influenced your musical journey? Let's connect and share our stories! 🎶
