Dear Musician,<\/p>\n

How are you? I hope you are good.<\/p>\n

Have you been practicing as much as you ought to? Or are you discouraged by the lack of what to practice? Are you on the verge of giving up? Or have you given up already?<\/p>\n

Honestly, I wish I could hear your answers to those questions (and perhaps I can<\/em> in the comments area if you talk back to me).<\/p>\n

I\u2019m taking my time to write this letter because I believe in you and I know that a great destiny lies ahead of you.<\/p>\n

There are two important phases in your journey as musicians that matter most. One is “here” and the other is “there.”<\/p>\n

What do I mean by \u201chere\u201d and \u201cthere\u201d?<\/h2>\n

\u201cHere\u201d is where<\/i><\/b> <\/i>you are.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u201d is where <\/i><\/b>you want to be.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u201d is your present<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u201d is your future<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Let me quickly share five things<\/strong> you must know about here and there.<\/p>\n

#1. “Here” is good; “There” is better. <\/b><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s always room for improvement.<\/p>\n

Think about the apps you use everyday. Several apps and software upgrade on monthly and even weekly basis. Below are some of the reasons that come to mind:<\/p>\n
