Get the graph paper variant. Trust. I never write in anything else.
Don't Copy & Paste. Use it to generate fresh ideas, breathing new life or direction into a personal project.
Some professors are lazy and not truly interested in your education. Match their lack of enthusiasm accordingly. Time and mental stability are as important of resources as notes and books!
My preferred drumsticks for most songs. Vic Firth and Innovative Percussion make great sticks as well. Ignore all other brands.
You always get what you pay for when it comes to musical instruments. Don't cheap out.
When it comes to learning an instrument-- learning the fundamentals is for intermediates yearning to be advanced.
Before purchasing any instrument, ensure that over the past few months, you have consistently wished you could cover different songs. For a drummer that's beatboxing an enchanting rhythm you heard somewhere. For a melodic instrument, honing in and listening intently to the guitar or keyboard part and daydreaming about performing it yourself.
If you aren't having fun learning what you want to play, it will soon end up in the closet or on Facebook Marketplace.
Even more so than in the corporate world, connections make or break you. If you haven't any charisma, you haven't any bandmates, and thereby gigs, and thereby money to put back into your music.
Music is a wonderful creative outlet that some can get rich off of. You know if you're one of those or not. I'm not. I'm too nerdy.
