Is it harder the play a sport or play an instrument?

Answer 1

This is not an easy question but I would say that it is easier to play a sport. Playing an instrument takes a certain amount of discipline and intelligence. Playing a sport on a recreational level does take exceptional skills but playing a instrument on a recreational level does require a certain level of expectancy. There is a higher number of people who know how to play a sport than knows how to play an instrument. An average person will have a harder time learning to play a instrument than a sport for the first time. The are few instances where this may not apply because some sports are very difficult to grasp it also depends on the individual. They have also been cases where people with disabilities where able to learn music and play an instrument easy than a sport. A good example of this would be Stevie Wonder a famous blind piano player and singer. Another example would be Ray Charles another blind keyboardist and singer/songwriter. These people with disabilities have exceptional talent in music and are called a musical savant or what is termed a musical genius.

Answer 2

I believe learning a instrument is harder because there is a higher percentage of people in the world who will know how to throw and catch a ball than play a g major chord on guitar. It took me a month to get decent at Wrestling, but it took me more than double that to get decent at guitar. It also depends on the person.
