Tip:
Make a daily practice schedule and stick to it. Learning music is something that requires dedication; you can’t master it overnight. Set aside a small amount of time each day to practice your craft and commit to sticking to this routine for the long haul.
You don’t have to dedicate all of your time to practicing; just set aside 15-30 minutes for practice and watch as you make small, incremental progress over time.
Hope you enjoyed this session. See you in next class..
