| 5 Tips for When You Don't Feel Like Practicing |
|
|
By: Mike Marinaro
Let's face it...sometimes you just don't feel
like practicing even though you know you
should. Here are a few things that I do
when I
just don't feel like practicing.
1. Listen to Your Favorite Artist.
When you hear the music you really like to
listen to it will get you back in the mood to
play again.
2. Play. Stop practicing and just
play. Put on a CD and play along with it, or
just play the music that your like; have fun
with your music...that's what it's all about!
3. Take a Break. Just walk away
from it. Do something else that has nothing
to do with music for a while. Soon you will
find that you are in the mood to get back at
it again.
4. Set Goals. Give yourself
something to aim for. Set practice goals.
Maybe learning one new song per week or
practicing for an hour a day. Don't set your
goals too high, you want to be able to
achieve them. You will feel a sense of
accomplishment as you reach each new
goal.
5. Find a Practice Partner. Having
a friend to practice with will challenge and
motivate you to practice more.
I went several years without ever picking
up my guitar then one day someone at
church found out I used to play the guitar
and asked me to play a song with him at
Sunday Service. It was great to play again
and now we have formed a Praise Band
at our church and play every week at
service. We practice together on Thursday
nights and challenge each other to bring in
new songs each week to learn.

A Word from Bonnie |
|
|
|
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what
a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of
His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Perfect submission, perfect delight!
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight,
Angels descending bring from above,
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love
Perfect submission - all is at rest, I in my
Savior am happy and blest; Watching and
waiting, looking above, Filled with His
goodness, lost in His love
This is my story, this is my song, Praising
my Savior all the day long; This is my story,
this is my song, Praising my Savior all the
day long
Author - Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915
Let us draw near with a true heart in full
assurance o9f faith, having our hearts
sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our
bodies washed with pure water. Hebrews
10:22
