Many people mistakenly think that musical ability is something you’re either born with or not. While we can agree your genetics may play a small role in determining your musicianship, your musical skill is something that can be trained and learned with practice like anything else. https://www.musical-u.com/learn/improve-musical-ability/

Even the greatest artists in the world have to go through a strenuous amount of practice, spending countless hours perfecting their craft.
Music is a universal language that helps us connect with others and communicate with our inner selves. Thus, there’s always a good reason to nurture your musical soul.

Whether you want to be the next YouTube sensation or just want to impress your significant other with a beautiful song, here are 3 simple non-music activities that can take your musical ability to the next level.

There are many ways to enhance your music ability, even in situations where you don’t have access to music.

We hope you’ve found these tips helpful. Remember to start small and stay patient.

If you have any non-music activities of your own that help nurture your musical soul, let us know in the comments below!

3 Non-Music Activities That Improve Your Musical Ability

New musicality video:

Have you ever felt frustrated because you keep getting something wrong in the music you’re learning? Or worried that there is just too much to learn and you’re coming to music too late to ever master it all? http://musicalitypodcast.com/24

Today we have the pleasure of interviewing Lisa McCormick, a successful singer-songwriter and the creator of the “Note2Self” methodology of music learning, which can help with exactly those kinds of mindset barriers, especially among adult musicians.

After several years as a successful artist, Lisa turned her attention to teaching and now specialises in helping adult beginners get going with guitar and ukulele. We first met Lisa several years ago after discovering an excellent course she created to help guitarists start playing chords by ear. As well as in person classes 1-on-1 and in groups around Brattleboro, Vermont, she provides courses through her website LisaMcCormick.com and is a senior faculty member at GuitarTricks.com.

What we love about Lisa’s approach is that she really focuses on the joy of making music from day one and strips away the complexity that can often make learning music frustrating for adults.

In this conversation we talk about:

– The emotional baggage that can make it difficult for adults to begin learning a new instrument and how to get around that

– How she helps complete beginners play a song on ukulele in less than ten minutes – and play several songs by the end of the day

– How the Note2Self methodology can equip musicians – particularly those who are self-taught or trying to make use of internet resources to learn – to get away from the negative self-talk and confusion that can hold them back, and instead learn faster by having effective and healthy mental habits

Lisa also shares the simple 3-word mantra from Note2Self that you can start using immediately – and honestly this alone could be transformative for how much you enjoy your musical journey…

Note2Self: “I Love This!” with Lisa McCormick

New musicality video:

You’ve been studying music for a while now, but you’re not sure how “good” you really are. Want to get some solid feedback? Start with these 4 ideas! https://www.musical-u.com/learn/4-ways-get-feedback-youre-teaching-music/

You want to ask family and friends, but they might tell you only what you want to hear rather than what you need to hear.

You want to upload a video of yourself performing on YouTube, but you’re not sure the comments there will be helpful, either.

Do any of these sound familiar? You may have heard about the importance of feedback and it’s true: receiving commentary is an important part of becoming successful at anything, including playing music. That being said, it can be difficult to know where the most helpful source for constructive criticism will be.

So what’s a budding musician to do?
