4 Ways to find Time for Practice in your Busy Schedule

In this fast paced world, time management has become the most important skill to have. You may be a working adult or a student learning in school - however, you still have a number of chores to complete every day. By the end of the day, you are completely exhausted and can't assemble any enthusiasm or energy to practice your instrument. So how do you still follow your interest in music in between these exhausting tasks you have in a day? In this blog, we discuss some of the ways you can find time to practice:

1. Start the day with music:

What can be a better way to start your day! Remember the era of walk-mans and Disc-mans? You woke up to songs and somehow you already felt good about the day to unfold. Do the same with your instrument! Think of it like your daily workout. Practice the exercises and drills given to you and by the end of each practice session you will feel like you already have accomplished something in the day and this positiveness will reflect in your attitude throughout your day. With regular practice, you will see progress in your playing really quickly.

2. Stress Reliever:

Having a tiring day? With all the stress, deadlines and burden of expectations you carry at work or school, life is stressful. There is no better stress reliever to this than music. Listen to songs because that also plays an important role in your development. Then just take your instrument and start playing with it, and you will see you get in the mood of practicing it. Take the help of that and start practicing your exercises and if you know a song, end the session with that. You will feel much better about your day and ready for a good night's sleep.

3. Show dedication:

If you are serious about your music, you will find a way to give time to your instrument. May it be an early morning, afternoon or a late night practice, you can always dedicate a certain period of the day to your instrument and make sure you are committed to that. Once you keep doing it, it becomes a habit and practicing your instrument will come very naturally to you. For students, you can use those study breaks to play your instrument which will relax your mindset and as you have heard a lot about how music can enhance your academic performance, it’s time to practice that saying. 

4. Not more than 2 Classes a Week:

It is almost impossible and not advisable to take classes every day. Classes are meant to be a lesson day and you should learn something new every class, however you also must have seen how your mentor starts the class with exercises you have previously taught and then move to the new topics. However you can approach your practice session like the way classes are structured. Go for lessons TWICE a WEEK and then use the days between those lessons to master the exercise giving the same time as your lesson classes. Also you can use the class timings as your practice time of the day. This way you are attending class everyday but in a much more effective manner.
