I've never learned how to play any instruments, but I recently discovered this group called Two Steps From Hell who makes amazing music. My favorite song by them is Blackheart and I really want to make music similar to them(not quite sure what genre they fall under) so I can make custom music for film projects I may work on in the future(right now I just write but when I get up there I'd rather make everything like sound and such exactly the way I want it). The way I get inspiration for writing is through music and I think I'd be better off learning a few. I think one instrument I want to learn to play is the viola(I like the way it sounds deeper than a violin, especially at the beginning of the song listed above) but are there any others you would recommend based on the genre I'm looking at?
