    When we play an instrument, our brain trains visual, auditory and motor skills, and simultaneously engages our emotions, an exceptional situation which can be described as a firework of the brain.
    There are different tips and tricks that make our practice more effective and fun. Such as Practicing a piece backward and many more.
    Special thanks to our patrons: Ville Medeiros, Chutimon Nuangnit, Cedric Wang, Mike, Eva Marie Koblin, Julien Dumesnil, Mathis, and the others. You are amazing !!!

    The best way to learn a musical instrument is not to focus on being the greatest or bestest player at the beginning session of your practice...... Just learn or practice because you genuinely love the sound of it and enjoy playing and not because you think it will make you look cool or stand out from the crowd.

    Summary of tips in this video:
    1. Practise slow and mindful
    2. Keep it interesting
    3. Practise hard parts first
    4. Imagine
    5. Process learning
    Great advice, that I've personally seen really benefit students in practice. Great video - thank you for making.
    P.S For anyone interested in the 10,000 hours 'rule' concept alluded to in this video - I HIGHLY recommend reading what K Anders Ericsson (the academic whose work was the basis for Gladwell's moniker) himself writes about it in his book Peak: How All Of Us Can Achieve Extraordinary things. It's pretty critical of the idea that Gladwell popularised.

    What helped me at the very beginning was listening to songs I like the most and that sounded easy to play. I wrote all the notes down, one by one, since I couldn´t find music sheets for them. This way I already learned a bit the rythm and which notes I need to play.
    Starting with songs you like is very motivating.

      I do something with all of them every day, and 10 minutes is better than no minutes.

      I personally just do it earlier. 10 minutes is better than zero. And keep a notebook: what I did, what I learned and time in a row on the side.
      The notebook helped and getting up earlier.

I dread online lessons so much i cant enjoy my weekends without worrying about my lesson next which is literally on tuesday. How do i get motivation to make the best of this? I cant just be like this for the next 2 years.

    It seems like bodybuilders work out and then take selfies. They work out hard and get reward which is taking selfies, getting likes, looking their muscles etc.
    They work out satisfying their eyes get fame from their social media accounts everyday. And then get on a stage for their fame from satisfying other's eyes and making people jealous of themselves.
    Dogs just work for their rewards.
