222 When Practice Isn't Fun Anymore - What to Do When Music Stops Feeling Inspiring


Listen Later

In this episode, I share a personal story about preparing for a major event—and struggling to find joy in the process.

We explore:

  • Why it's normal to feel disconnected from familiar repertoire
  • How to stay motivated when the spark is gone
  • A mindset shift to help you keep showing up
  • Practical tools to bring freshness back into your practice
  • How reconnecting to your purpose can carry you through challenging times

If you're ready to build consistency, confidence, and performance readiness without the overwhelm, The Music Mastery Experience is for you.

Inside this small group coaching program, I help committed musicians grow through intentional, inspired practice so they can reach their next level with clarity, ease, and joy.

The next cohort is starting soon and spots are limited, so now is the time to take the next step.

Visit mindoverfinger.com to apply and learn more. Let's get you the structure, support, and strategies you need to thrive, on stage and beyond.
