Situation:
* I've been taking classical guitar for 1.5 years with weekly lessons and loving it
* I also really love piano and have been wanting to start taking formal lessons
Advantages:
* Get to learn two instruments at once
* Broadens my musical horizons
Disadvantages:
* One instrument might suffer at the expense of the other
* Expensive (have to buy a piano, pay two teachers, more time to practice, etc.)
MY QUESTIONS:
* Will there by synergies?
** e.g. the music theory is obviously the same. sight reading skills will overlap. (I can sight read beginner pieces quite easily on a piano today despite having no lessons, strictly because of my guitar sight reading skills)
** my fingers are already getting quite flexible and dexterous
* Generally, do you recommend trying to learn two instruments at once? I know some people play like 5 or 10 instruments and I always wondered how they did it.
