Learning Music
just as a hobby? Not keen to perform? Got Stage fright? Well, those should not
be excuses should not stop you from performing music. Believe it or not, but it
gives you more joy when you are singing or performing with or for someone else.
The feeling is rewarding and no one plays music just for themselves. It is a
form of expression and the best way to express it is to perform in front of
others. Now, if you are just beginning to learn and feel like you are not ready
to perform, then it’s okay to take some time to build you confidence but you
must eventually perform. Performance should be the goal that drives you
to play your instrument longer and commit more time to practice.
1. Music is The Best Teacher
Yes, your performances can be teacher
you need. No one can teach you more than performances in terms of building
musicianship. Musicianship is about training the student not just
to be a player of an instrument, but to be a Musician. This is the only platform where you can be a
self-critic, you yourself will be able to see/hear the shortcomings and areas
that you want to improve on. It will teach you to be comfortable around other people
and open up new ideas and ways to make your instrument sound better. Also, when
you play things right, it boosts your confidence and your ability to play the
instrument automatically upgrades.
2. Know your Instrument Inside Out
There are
more to your instrument than its looks. It be a guitar, keyboard, drums or even
your voice - it is not something that makes any sound, it is an object that if
used right, can paint a story to the audience. There are so many dynamics and
so many different possibilities of using your instrument to sound different and
contribute to the song in the right way. Playing your instrument is not just
about playing your notes right, it is about giving definition to a melody you
play. All these things, although taught through technique but the real understanding
only comes through experience and for that, you have to perform as much as you
can, and learn from each experience.
3. Helps Build relationships
Performance
is not just about you, it is about understanding those who stand with you on
the stage - Complementing and supporting each other in a band. The idea of
coming together and playing a song is a rewarding feeling. You understand the
importance of each and every instrument, and learn from each other. Only if you
prepare for performances, will you be able to discuss music with your peers and
come up with ideas that will make the songs sound better. You also understand
different influences and open up to the exploring different genres and styles
of music and that makes you a better musician. As a musician you should always
want to keep growing and learning new things. Also, you get a chance to
interact with the audience which, will give you more encouragement to continue
what you are passionate about.
