1. PRACTICE TECHNIQUES
When a professional musician practices their
instrument, they go through scales (or
rudiments) repeatedly, working hard to improve
their technique. Set yourself a dedicated
practice or warm-up regime for each day to burn
those scales into your memory.

2. SET YOURSELF GOALS
Set yourself realistic targets at every
opportunity and work towards them, whether
thats learning a certain scale by heart during
one practice, or mastering a full song by the
end of the week.

3. PATIENCE
Perhaps the most important quality in a musician
looking to perfect their instrument is patience,
especially if youre just starting out. No one
becomes a virtuoso overnight, so if you hit a
wall, dont worry, just keep going until you get
it right. It takes a lot of time and effort to
be a truly great musician.

4. KEEP IT FUN
While its important to work on your scales and
other (more boring) techniques - don't forget to
keep your practice sessions fun! Learn your
favourite songs and work on new material around
your more regimented exercises to make sure you
feel fresh and enthusiastic about your
instrument.

The worst thing for a musician is when playing
becomes a chore, rather than an enjoyable
experience.

5.KNOW WHAT KEY YOURE IN

• Learning scales can help you to stay in key
  during a jamming session. As the more
  experienced musicians among you will know, each
  musical scale focuses around a specific key. So,
  the more scales you know, the better youll be at
  staying in key, improvising on a track, and
  making sure you sound great playing alongside
  other musicians.
