Looking for an Instrument that can be played quietly?

12 Upvotes

Are there any instruments that can be played quietly? I am a night shift worker so when i am awake everyone else is asleep. I would pick up a string Instrument but I am developing arthritis in my whole body but it's real bad in my hands. I have learned the harmonica but looking for something more widely used.

If anyone has some recommendations please let me know!!

Best apps/resources for learning piano as an adult male with ADHD?

12 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I’m an adult male with ADHD. I struggle with getting into things because—starting out—seems like a “massive brick wall” or a “mountain” that’s too hard to overcome. Basically, I get discouraged before I even start because the task is “too big and daunting” and I don’t even know where (or how) to begin, and then trying to start with things like reading sheet music bore the crap out of me and I lose interest and stop trying.

However, piano is something that I’ve always wanted to learn, and I know that—much like with bass guitar—that I can actually learn how to play it once I get past that initial “wall” and get a clear “path forward”.

TL:DR: Is there a good app, program, or something that would help me learn how to play piano that’s geared towards someone like me with ADHD?

I'm about to turn 28 and I'm musically illiterate.
