How to easily start again in music after a long break?


  • Get access to the instrument you loved.

  • Embrace depression. You can always practice scales meanwhile.

  • Realize how essential art is in life. Avoid forgetting that life is more than work.

  • Find places where you have never felt lost before. Both, inside and outside.

  • Keep learning music theory. Books, classical music, friends, everything counts.

  • Seize the opportunity of isolation. Any pandemic scenario can help.

  • Take the best from those occasional and brief creative moments.

  • Listen to music you would not “normally” include in your playlist.

  • Share your progress with a close group of people you trust. Bore them with your multiple records until they start disagreeing.

  • Let multiple friends recommend you Garage Band. Don’t listen to them immediately. Regret it later. Enjoy the learning curve.

  • Understand how little you know.
