Is it Permissible to Learn Music During the Three Weeks?
Question
Is it permissible to learn music during the Three Weeks? Thank you very much.
Answer
Good week,
If you already know how to play well, then you should not learn during the Three Weeks. However, if you do not yet know how to play well, you may learn until Rosh Chodesh Av.
