Stick to one instrument. Also, choose what instrument you get very wisely, as you can't change it later. Make sure to be pretty good at playing instruments, as you most likely are going to play in a concert.

Really nice dude unless you really piss him off by talking over him and breaking his rules a lot. He is always willing to help you with your lines.

He was a pretty good teacher; he played with Santana(along with a popular 2000s band I forgot the name of), went white-water rafting and was overall a good guy. If you want to play in a band or make one yourself, his elective is right for you!
