WHY ITβS HARD AF
Improvising is like giving an impromptu speech. Youβre basically composing music on the fly. This is no easy task. It takes technique, experience and a connection with your emotions. Itβs easy to sabotage yourself before getting started with lack of self belief. Hereβs how to prepare your mind in 3 steps
BBC METHOD
Life has a way of beating us down over time. Bad family life, toxic relationships, a soul draining job. Use my BBC method to turn your life around ASAP. The number one rule to accomplish any goal is donβt abandon yourself. BELIEVE you can do it! No matter what happens, maintain a strong sense of self belief. As the ancient Chinese proverb says, βthe journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.β
STRATEGY
Just having a goal doesnβt mean itβs going to come true. I mean, if youβre a hot Instagram model, manifesting may not be such a bad strategy but for the rest of usβ¦.we need the p word
π PLAN OF ATTACK!!
If you really want to get better at improvising, write down a routine that targets specific problem areas. For example, learning how to identify the key of a song, subdividing the beat of songs, practicing techniques like sweeping and tapping etc. Stay consistent and itβs impossible not to see massive gains!
DONβT DO THIS!!!
Everyone skips the last part of my BBC method. I implore you not to do this!
Believe, Breakdown and CELEBRATE!
Iβm talking about celebrating your progress. Take time to rest and recover from your hard work. Appreciate how far youβve come and recharge the batteries for the next round!
