๐Ÿ’ฌ Lesson Description

This is part three of my series called "Finding Fulfillment, Joy, and Meaning in Music."

In this video, I emphasize the importance of avoiding what I call "the wall of meaninglessness."

The wall of meaninglessness is a point where you're practicing a lot and trying hard to get better, but you lose sight of your purpose behind the whole endeavor.

I start by sharing a short story about a student of mine who practiced a lot and sounded great, but felt depressed because he hit the wall of meaninglessness.

To avoid hitting the wall of meaninglessness, we need to have an outlet for our practice.

Later in the video, I go through a list of possible outlets and their benefits.

I hope they encourage you and stimulate some ideas!

Let me know what you thought in the comments.

Thanks! :)
