The Story That's Stopping You From Playing Music

Have you ever looked at a piece of music and decided it was too difficult before you'd even played the first note? I've done it too. One of the biggest breakthroughs I've had as a musician wasn't learning more scales or practising longer—it was realising that I wasn't reacting to the music... I was reacting to the story I'd written about the music. In this episode of Music is Medicine, we explore how the mind automatically adds meaning to what we see and how those stories can either help us grow or quietly hold us back. I'll also give you a simple one-minute exercise that can completely change the way you approach learning music. If you've ever thought: "I'm not talented enough." "This piece is impossible." "I'll never be able to play that." ...then this episode is for you. 🎵 Join the Mat Creedon School of Music for A Course in Music, the Easy Key Method, weekly live sessions and a supportive musical community. https://www.skool.com/mat-creedon-sch...
