This is a recipe for frustration and musical inertia. Too many projects, not enough focus and a lack of musical drive and inspiration. The root of the problem can even come down to a simple lack of motivation. Many times a roadblock in your practice is the result of being overwhelmed. Every single day, no matter what the obstacles, you can accomplish something to improve your musicianship. These feelings are natural for anyone trying to improve, however this is not an excuse to give up on a perfectly good practice session. You become bored with the same old exercises, frustrated with your rate of progress and confused as to the next step to take…and some days you just don’t feel like practicing at all. The truth is, every musician encounters frustrating days on their instrument where nothing seems to be working. These inquiries range from players that are stuck in a daily musical rut to aspiring improvisers that simply don’t know the next step to take in the practice room. We often get a ton of great questions from our readers about what to practice.
