Rule number 5

Experiment and use your Imagination too

Try ideas for your self, after all the whole idea of playing an instrument for me is to be creative, have fun and being able to express oneself through the instrument.


Having talent is obviously good, but I firmly believe that every one has talent, of some sort, what they don’t necessarily have is the correct training or tools, a bit like a potentially good artist only having the colour black in their pallet to work with.

Yes you can achieve a very high standard of art with just black, but it is terribly frustrating for the artist if they want to do a painting of a tropical sunset in all it’s glory of spectacular colours.

More often than not we have all the colours available to us but we do not have the understanding of how to mix or use them together.


This all applies to virtually everything in life not just art or music.

Whenever you find yourself hitting a rut with your instrument, look back on those four basic Rules above.


OK So let us look a little more about these fundamentally basic rules.
