Get a good teacher and take weekly lessons for the first few months. Make sure your instrument is up to snuff. Make a habit of practicing at least 30 minutes a day of technically hard stuff. Most importantly, find an instrument (and music genre) that you love.
- riprowan 10y agoThis was the correct answer.
- rhapsodic 10y agoFollow sporkologist's advice and also read "The Talent Code" by Daniel Coyle. It will give insight into why some approaches to practice produce far better results than others.
- sporkologist 10y agoThanks for mentioning that book, I hadn't seen it before but it formalizes a lot of things that have helped me in the past. Also they mention the Finland educational system. Yeah I'll have to get a copy of this one.
- s_kilk 10y ago> Most importantly, find an instrument (and music genre) that you love. Absolutely. There's no point picking up the guitar if you don't listen to any guitar music.
