I want to play the Bass Guitar but my parents want me to play the piano, so I am thinking I could teach myself piano and I will take bass guitar lessons, but if I do that, it will be hard to learn piano and my parents will be disapointed in me, what should I do? I really want to play bass guitar but I want to play piano too.
If your ultimate goal is to play in a band, then both piano and bass and very sought after commodities.
Since your desire is in the area of bass guitar, I'd pursue that simply because the drive to succeed will be far greater.
Guitar players are a dime a dozen, but bass players are always a hot property.
Good keyboard players are even rarer to find, but as someone pointed out, a bass guitar will be far more portable then lugging a keyboard with you everywhere you go.
As a female, and a bass guitarist…bands will be beating down your door. One final hint….learn to sing.
