Keep going even if you don’t see progress

Progress takes a while to see. Imagine you start going to the gym. You won’t look like Dwayne ‘the Rock’ Johnson in a day or a week. You won’t look like him in a month, though you’ll probably see progress in a month.

Look over the course of months for progress.

With practicing an instrument or learning how to produce music look for progress over the course of large amounts of time.

You might be able to see progress from piece to piece if you’re writing music, but even that might be a little hard to notice.

But always make sure to look back on old music you’ve made or old pieces you’ve played to see progress. It’ll let you know that you are improving, no matter how much it seems like you aren’t improving in the moment.
