It’s easy to lose momentum when you’re learning a new instrument or returning after a break. If you’re self-taught, or no longer studying with a teacher, it can be hard to know how much practice is enough—or how to stay consistent without feeling discouraged.

In today’s video, we’ll talk about building a habit of regular music practice that’s sustainable and realistic, especially if you’re just starting out. You’ll hear why small, manageable goals are often more effective than lofty ones, and how your instrument practice—like going to the gym—gets easier with time.

You’ll also get a guided meditation at the end to help you commit to a gentle, regular practice routine you can actually stick to.
