Overcome! What is the technique for getting out of a slump in playing a musical instrument!

It is a path that one must take after a while of learning a musical instrument!

It is ・・・・・・・


It is a temporary slump = wall!


There are many factors that can cause this, but it is usually surmountable.
During a slump, you may think you'll never get over it...but that's not true!

But you want to get over the slump as soon as possible!

In this article, I would like to discuss the art of getting over a slump.


◆Try to soften your mind.

One of the reasons for slumps is a commitment to a theory that you believe in.

For example, you believed that you had to bend "a certain part" of the joint,
For example, it often happens that one believes that one must bend "a certain part" of the joint, but this causes faults in one's performance.

What you have been taught is important, but try things out and then change them!
I think it is important not to be afraid of change.
Let's take the plunge and try things out!


◆Change the environment.

If the slump is long lasting, it may be a case where the teacher's teaching methods do not match.

By changing the environment, you will be able to see things that you normally would not see.
If you try a different teacher, you may get a hint that will help you break out of your slump.

There are many teachers registered on the Lesson Grid.
Would you like to take a lesson or two from a different teacher just to try it out?

By receiving instruction from a perspective you have never considered before, you may be able to break out of a slump.


Take some time off.

This is especially common in the slumps of experienced and advanced athletes,
An overuse of muscles in a particular area is a common cause.

Overuse of certain muscles in certain areas can lead to functional decline due to wear and tear in those areas and balance collapse throughout the body. leads to balance disruption of the entire body.

(1) Overuse of muscles prevents good performance, so practice.

2) The overuse of muscles is further accelerated.

(1) and (2) in an endless loop...
In many cases, we fall into this kind of vicious circle.
The easiest way to solve this problem.

It is,

Rest!

The "overuse of muscles in a particular area" is,
I have to practice,
You have to practice, you have to get out of the slump as soon as possible!
is the result of compulsive thinking.

In other words, compulsive rest with a strong will is the best way to protect your body.
It can be said that forcing yourself to rest will protect your body.

As a concrete action plan,

(1) Go on a trip without your instrument!
(2) Concentrate on work or study other than playing!
We recommend the following solutions.


◆Dare to try high level music and materials.

This is a somewhat rough treatment, but it is a way to improve your technique by playing more difficult music than you are playing now.
By working on difficult songs, your musical information processing ability will improve!

This gives you the skill and presence of mind to make the songs you are currently playing feel easy.

This leisure allows you to deal with technical issues that you may not have considered before because you were so focused on playing the song.


◆Try a different instrument.

The root cause of a slump is a loss of vision.
If there is only one instrument you are trying to master, you tend to not know what to do when you stumble.

By trying another instrument, you can expand your horizons and approach music from a more bird's-eye view.

Important,

The important thing is not to aim at "playing the instrument well," but to aim at "having fun and playing good music!


◆Conclusion
Slumps will eventually end.
On the contrary, in most cases, your performance will improve after a slump!


There is no rain that won't stop!


We at Lesson Grid would like to support you to the utmost in creating your ideal music!
