i really want to take up playing french horn again but i live in a cruddy little basement apartment with a snooty upstairs neighbour and zero sound isolation and i can't afford to rent a practice space. do you have any ideas?
for any musician living in modern populated society, in the age of the internet and computers, whether or not this is your first choice, i strongly recommend you get into keyboard playing and midi recording. even if this is not your first choice, i think any musician can thrive in this environment, regardless of what your preferred instrument may be. i am not even suggesting that you try to immitate the french horn, because that may be dicey. i'm sure you would find many other things that excite you
