Question:
Dear Rabbi,
I am in the process of learning musical instrument. Am I required to stop it until 10th of Av?
Thank you,
Al
Answer:
Hello,
It depends why you are leanring to play. If it is in order to be a professional player, and make a livelihood from it, then it is permitted, however if it is not for that, but as a hobby, then it has to wait until after the three weeks.
Best wishes
