Even in places that I’ve lived where there is adequate space to set up music equipment, that stuff can admittedly get quite messy, cables pedals, amps, drums, instruments, And I can get self conscious when my roommates hear me playing, like when you sing in the shower, and have your partner comment on it, I like to feel free to be exploratory when I play music, so despite being a pretty proficient musician in bc want to be able to focus on very specific things that are often quite discordant, I’m sure no one wants to hear rudiments and scales for an hour each day. If your city has music rehearsal lockouts I might recommend looking into it, if you have a few friends who are also interested in music it can make sense to share the cost of renting one, as much as it was an additional expense it also cleared up space in my house, helped avoid conflict in my relationship, gave me a space to try out some very loud things, and was often a very underutilizes space by the other renters… I think I may have saved some money in a sense since I was able to be comfortable in a much smaller apartment, and keep my big speaker cabinets and stuff in a building with a grandfathered lease in the middle of an industrial area. So cheap rent, was also interesting chatting with some of the characters who stopped by.
