Hi everyone I am 
Now talking about music whether you are vocalist, you are an instrumentalist whatever you do concerning music whether you are a producer even though you are a sound engineer that is audio engineering I will mention three things that if you have not been doing you should do and I will also tell you how these things have helped me to do well in my music career and as a musician you need to engage in these activities...
one of the activities I engage in is MENTORSHIP yes I am a trompeter and before I started learning the trumpet I didn't start on my own I seek for mentorship and when seeking for mentorship let me remind you don't seek for free mentorship but if you have someone that will do it for you free.... you are free to go ahead but I prefer you pay because if you pay you will be serious so first I went for mentorship and secondly I engage in practice that is where the work lies mentorship is not enough you have to practice I practice in the morning I practice in the afternoon I practice in the evening I even practice at night any single opportunity I had I use it to practice now let me tell you what practice does to you you will never get perfect and don't ever practice anything till you are perfect before you go to the next just keep practicing but make sure you practice slowly yes practice slowly and then you move on to the next now when we talk about practice you don't practice what you know you practice what you don't know.
You know your weakness you are the only person that can tell yourself the truth so you know your weakness practice what you don't know often and also create a practice schedule for yourself the third thing I did for myself was to do further research I had to engage in research I have to go online and follow some tutorials well season one at first I was finding it difficult I had to read books if anytime I read any book I will go and look for the video on YouTube I will watch I try to relate it together and when doing this you will not get it clear at the first time because what I read at my first year I started understanding them at my third and fourth year of playing so you just keep researching reading and practice....
Engaging seriously on this is going to pay off certainly noted that;champions are made behind the stage so if you want to be good first of all go for mentorship second practice third Carry out research about what you are doing, be it historical research to know the origin of what you're doing, the applications e.t.c.
Now talking about music before you engage in anything music you must have the determination you must be an enthusiast you must be ready to go beyond the normal if you want to be an excellent musician you have to go beyond the normal you have to think outside the box you have to be prepared for it music is an art with lot of creativity but before you create you need to copy what someone has done that's where practice com Inn.
Why do you need to practice?
so that you will get use to your instruments, so that you build a bond with it and it will help you function with it at reflex without gambling through it.
well adding to this over years I have had many awards through music I will also share a few of the awards I got through music and don't forget charisma also matter in music the right charisma will fetch you the right audience some persons are just interested at the way your physical movement portray the display of your art and creativity... take this into consideration and you will become a better Musician.
Remember your relevance depends on your value.......
