Genuinely interested in the replies to this as I don’t play an instrument so am not sure what the appropriate solution is.
Partner and two of our children are learning the piano. They’ve been doing so for about a year. It is a keyboard located next to the kitchen island in an open plan kitchen / dining / sofa room. Theres always someone playing on it when I’m cooking or eating or trying to chill out. It’s really getting on my nerves! More so my partner playing it than the kids, as they tend to play set peices they are learning and they improve during the week which I dont mind listening to as much. My partner doesn’t seem to learn anything to the point where he can actually play it - perhaps this is normal when you are starting out? He flits between many different things and also plays jazz chords in a kind of unset way which I can’t stand it’s like listening to Ron Burgandy and so off putting….😭!
when we moved into the house I asked if it could be put in the spare room / office, or the tv room, so it could be shut away. Partner wanted it in the open plan room so it got played and practiced on rather than forgotten. I get this…but I don’t want to hear it all day long. What do other people who have instruments in the house do??
