It’s now four months into 2020 and we’ve been working hard to establish what makes the best musicians stand out from the rest.
So here is a list of some things you can start working on right away!
Practicing techniques is one of the best ones, the more consistent you become with you’re craft the better and easier it becomes. Challenging yourself to learn new techniques is an amazing skill to also have.
Set yourself realistic targets at every opportunity and work towards them, whether that’s learning a certain scale by heart during one practice, or mastering a full song by the end of the week. By accomplishing goals you’ve set, you’ll enjoy a greater sense of achievement as your skills begin to develop.
Third one is patience and its perhaps the most important quality in a musician looking to perfect their instrument is patience, especially if you’re just starting out. No one becomes a virtuoso overnight, so if you hit a wall, don’t worry, just keep going until you get it right. It takes a lot of time and effort to be a truly great musician.
Number four is online resources. There are plenty of free resources out there for musicians looking to improve their skills and learn new songs. If you want to learn a new track or cover a certain song, there's nothing to stop you searching for the chords, tabs and notation online.
Number five is leaving you're comfort zone as much as possible, you should try to leave your comfort zone as often as possible, discover new ways to play and constantly challenge yourself. It may be annoying but the reward of mastering something new is the best sense of achievement.
