What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you?


I listen to music every day for several hours. It’s a daily routine.   But some days I just can’t seem to get into the music.  It takes a while for me to find the exact music that I want to listen to.  Other days I’m fine with it from the beginning.  If any of you have the same problem what do you do to get out of it?

The definition of "pro musician" is somebody who does that as a job. I've been a "pro musician" since the 60s, somewhat retired, and I now have piles of instruments to keep me company. By the way, my favorite music is jazz that I do not play (somewhat unqualified), but can pretend to play...play along with things as I have a guitar amp near my primary rig...I learn a new chord nearly every year.

A musician has a great advantage,when music did speak to him no more, he can speak to music himself.

 

Hi there… I can’t play a note but got the music gene from my mother who sang and played the piano. My stepdad was a jazz musician so I got early exposure to jazz which is still my favorite….

I got the notification that I had been mentioned in this thread, and interestingly the notification was sent 5 times in a row. I guess somebody sat on their keyboard.

Always good to hear from Chriso, the other Shea "brother."
