21 fifteen-minute practices on journey back to my music

Twenty-one 15-minute practices on journey back to music

In honoring my commitment to reconnect with my music, I have decided to create a list of twenty-one 15-minute musical practices for 21 days to assist me in getting back into the habit of working on and connecting with my music daily. 15 minutes-- minimum. I will put on the timer and go. If I go over 15 minutes—that’s fine, but I must do a no less than 15 minutes. Thursdays will be the days when I share what’s going on with my music. Here is the list of some of the practices. I have crossed out what I have done so far. Enjoy.
