Commitment to routine
I have a 1 month old daughter called Henrietta. The night before last, she showed me the benefit of a solid routine… We tried to change her nappy after her feed rather than before it, but she took this to mean that she was going to be fed again after her feed, as she’d already learnt to associate nappy changing with the feed following on.
She kept us up for most of the night as she couldn’t understand this change in routine!!! We should have stuck to what worked!
A bit about musicians daily routines here >>
Instrument practice routines >>
A bit about rehearsal routines >>
And possibly the most important routine, your health >>
I went from pretty much couch potato to running the London Marathon using a training routine.
Routines are really important in life as well as your musical career. Whether they be bizarre rituals before a performance, rehearsal routines to make sure you’re maximising productivity, or healthy living routines that allow you to focus on tasks throughout the day, commitment to your routine can help you get the best out of yourself.
Any essential musician routines I’ve missed? Let me know in the comments below.
