Now, I've tried both Guitar and Piano, and also Ukulele, and I find they're all pretty hard. I definitely realize music takes dedication, but I am kind of at a busy time in my life and obviously if something out there is easier for me I'd like to go with that. If nothing is easier than those things I may probably try to learn another time when I can put more effort into it.

However, my Dad has told me that Keyboard is easier than all of those things..I don't know if he is right or not though, is it true? I kind of distrust him, because I get the feeling he just wants me to be a musician to begin with, as he is himself a very talented musician.

Anyways, I have also heard of thing called a Pianica, so it seems there are some Piano-like options that might not be so hard as Piano, but I'd just like to know from anyone with experience, what your recommendations may be. Thank you.
