Sin 1: Procrastination

The allure of procrastination is a seductive siren's song, luring you into a state of perpetual avoidance. You convince yourself that "there's always more time" or that "it's not urgent." But remember, procrastination is the thief of progress. It robs you of precious time that could be invested in honing your craft and expanding your musical horizons.

Sin 2: Fear of Failure

Fear is a paralyzing force that can cripple your creativity and stifle your musical growth. It whispers doubts and insecurities in your ear, convincing you that you're not good enough, that your music isn't worthy. However, true musicianship thrives in the face of adversity. Embrace your fears as stepping stones to triumph and let them fuel your determination to succeed.

Sin 3: Perfectionism

The quest for perfection can be an elusive and self-destructive pursuit. It leads to endless revisions, hindering your progress and stifling your creativity. Remember, perfection is an illusion. True art lies in authenticity and the beauty of imperfection. Embrace the unique nuances of your music and strive for excellence, not perfection.

Sin 4: Lack of Focus

In the digital age, it's easy to be distracted by a myriad of shiny objects. Social media, endless tutorials, and the constant bombardment of information can derail your focus from what truly matters: your music. Establish clear goals, prioritize tasks, and create a dedicated space for musical exploration.

Sin 5: Comparison

The trap of comparison is a dangerous one. Constantly comparing yourself to others will only breed self-doubt and undermine your confidence. Focus on your own unique journey and celebrate the progress you've made. Remember, every musician has their own path and their own story to tell.

Sin 6: Lack of Knowledge

Music theory, techniques, and skills are the tools that empower your musical expression. Continuously expand your knowledge base through study, practice, and collaboration. Attend workshops, take online courses, and seek out mentors who can guide your musical development.

Sin 7: Lack of Discipline

Discipline is the cornerstone of musical excellence. It's the consistent practice, the dedication to your craft, and the unwavering pursuit of improvement. Establish a regular practice schedule, push yourself to explore new boundaries, and stay accountable for your musical journey.

Conquering the Seven Deadly Sins of Music Making is a transformative journey that will unleash your full potential as a musician. By embracing perseverance, confronting your fears, embracing authenticity, maintaining focus, avoiding comparison, expanding your knowledge, and cultivating discipline, you will unlock the gates to musical greatness.
