  1. Mike Yelverton Shares 5 Tips on How to Become a Better Musician

  2. Many top musicians seem to sound and appear amazing, but how do you get better as a musician? If you want to establish a career as a musician, then you need to put in the time and effort it takes to play like a professional.

  3. 01 Set Better Practice Techniques Many professional musicians practice their instruments, and go through scales, 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.

  4. 02 Setting Goals This can be a tough one. You will need to set yourself realistic targets at every opportunity and work towards them, whether that’s learning a certain scale by heart during one practice, or mastering a full song by the end of the week.

  5. 03 Patience If you are inspired by American’s Got Talent or Britain’s Got Talent, your jaw drops at how a particular musician performs and you feel that can’t get to that level. Remember no musician becomes a virtuoso overnight, so if you hit a wall, don’t worry, just keep going until you get it right.

  6. 04 Keep Performing Fun While it’s important to work on your scales and other techniques and you feel that it feels boring – remember to keep your practice sessions fun. Learn your favorite songs and work on new material around your more regimented exercises to make sure you feel fresh and enthusiastic about your instrument.

  7. 05 Take Breaks Studies have shown that the most effective practice sessions happen in 45 minutes with a 15-minute break before the next 45 minutes of practicing. Your brain needs a rest, so make sure you give it one.

  8. Thanks
