Practice that thing that you enjoy

Practicing an instrument can sometimes feel like work. When that happens take a step back from the “serious” work of practicing and improving your instrumental skills and mess around.

Play around.

Find whatever it is that you will enjoy in that moment and do that thing.

Do the thing you enjoy that might not improve your playing at all.

I’d argue that it’ll improve your playing by keeping the interest there.

You’ll be excited to play your instrument, which will keep you picking it up and playing it.

That’ll eventually result in you improving your playing.
