Every Day is a New Opportunity


Learning a musical instrument can be one of the most rewarding experiences in anyone's life – it can also be the source of much frustration! Sometimes, when things aren't going so well, it's difficult to remember how much fun playing music really is. I have written about this before; playing music is so much easier when you have a positive mindset. This little blurb is just as much for me as it is for you. Remember that each day is a new opportunity to go after the things that you want in life. When you pick up the trumpet, it's trumpet time. Everything else can wait, seriously! Today, right now, is the only opportunity that is a guarantee. Be the best version of yourself, be positive, and HAVE FUN! :)
