We all know learning to play an instrument can be hard… But it is also an enriching process which can make you really really happy. We just started a new year, so what a better moment to set goals? Here you have our 6 favorite tips to help you get better results in music practice this 2021!
-
Regularity is key
They say you need 21 days to create a habit. It is better to play for 15 min every day than for 5 hours straight once a week. Developing a routine is the key to good practice and progress.
-
Plan your practice
Scheduling your practice time will help you focus and will avoid distractions. Organization is always the way to go!
-
Play with others
Go to that jam, meet new musicians and you’ll find music more satisfying. You’ll have more fun, learn from other people, and apply what you studied.
-
Listen to more music
That may seem obvious… But remember that listening is learning. Try and actively listen to different genres and musicians! It will really expand your knowledge.
-
Compose some tunes
Even if you aren’t going to play it in public, try to compose little pieces as an exercise. You will apply what you’ve learned in a creative way! And if you don’t know how to write music down, we can always help you 😉
-
Be gentle with yourself
Learning an instrument takes time, don’t give up if something is too difficult at first. Don’t be too hard on yourself, set achievable goals, and have FUN!
