When I bought my first sampler, the seller gave me a great piece of advice: always keep it connected. That way, whenever you’re in the mood, you can just sit down and make some music.
I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time, but now I realize how good that advice was. Surround yourself with things that make you happy, so you always feel excited to use them. And it works the other way too — if you don’t like something, it’s better to put it away.
Even now, in almost every corner of my apartment, I have a sampler, a ukulele, another sampler, a kid’s piano, and so on. So whenever anyone in my family is in the mood, we can make some music.
