It’s snowing in Savannah today, which means my usual garage practice spot is officially off limits. Too cold to play. Too cold to think.
Like many, I don’t always have the option to practice freely inside the house. Repetition that feels productive to us can sound like psychological warfare to spouses, partners, kids, or pets. Especially fiddle tunes at half speed. Especially the same four measures. Again.
This has always been one of the hidden challenges of learning music as an adult. We’re not short on motivation. We’re short on space, time, and forgiveness from the people we love most.
I’m curious how everyone here is making it work right now.
Where do you practice?
What’s your biggest obstacle to making noise?
