While there are many good reasons to choose an instrument, there are several bad reasons. Generally, it's not a good idea to choose an instrument just because your friend is playing it. Since everyone is built differently, everyone won't find success on the same instrument. If you sound great on trumpet, but can't get a sound out of the flute, don't pick flute so you can sit beside your friend in band class! Odds are, you'll have a tough time and won't enjoy yourself in band. Another bad idea is choosing an instrument because you think it's the easiest to play. While some instruments may seem easy at first, you'll soon discover that every instrument has its own unique challenges. While the trumpet is easy to put together, it takes a while to achieve a pretty sound. On the other hand, clarinets are hard to put together at first, but tend to sound good before many other instruments. Percussion may seem easy, but percussionists have to learn several different instruments--and carry them all to the concert! If you choose your instrument because it fits you well and you think you'll enjoy playing it, you'll have a better chance of being successful in band.
