Looking for Inspiration?
Here are 5 tips to get you going:
1. Take Private Lessons from a Professional. Learn tips and tricks for playing your instrument at a higher level. Contact Ms. Bennett for teachers in our area.
2. Go to a concert. There is nothing like hearing LIVE music to get you motivated to practice!
3. Figure out how to play your favorite song on your instrument...by ear! That's right, don't go searching for the sheet music -- use your natural talents. Try a pop song, or movie theme...maybe even a commercial jingle!
4. Click on the "More..." tab above and choose "Links & Resources" to check out some great music sites and apps.
5. Get with your friends and play...anything! Like most things in life, music is more fun when you play with others.
