With everything you know you can't do right now, how about extending your capacities and imagine what you could do? Whether you're starting from scratch or picking up where you left off, music presents challenge and enjoyment in equal measure. Even the most basic lesson can unlock an experience of improvisation and fun. Playing activates your brain, ears and hands in ways that nothing else really can. There's plenty of cross over into the mathematical and poetic aspects of your brain, too. Yes, I'm saying music is cross training for algebra and writing. You can be playing a pentatonic scale on the guitar or piano in one lesson. If you've got some experience under your belt, you can improvise to jam tracks, write your own tunes, or play standards as a way to connect to the world outside. The possibilities for latency-free online jamming are starting to come into being. Search it up and see what fun you can have with your friends from across town or across the country. |
