| My advice would be to set incremental goals for yourself. Every time you sit down to make some music, try to learn something new. Patience is a virtue. One piece of advice I got when I was first starting out and I still try to remember is to never be lazy with your craft. If what you want to do takes weeks, then take the time to do it right. Eventually you will learn to do all these things faster and more efficiently, but at first it will be slow.
There will be plateaus where you feel you aren't getting anywhere. This is okay, just keep working and eventually breakthroughs will come. Inspiration and learning are interesting processes. Part is within your control, part is a mysterious property of the universe and your mind. Trust the process and don't give up. |
