It is costing lives, health, and dramatically affecting many people’s work and basic finances. Yet the odd reality is that many of us find ourselves stuck at home right now, trying to fill the time. What a contrast.
Just to be clear, there are many ways we can be active and help people right now. But I won’t get into that, we are all getting plenty of that type of advice right now.
Instead, I make the humble suggestion that many of us musicians should simply use the time constructively – to become better musicians. Well, here are some suggestions, taken from our archives. Enjoy, and I hope they help.
Wishing you safety and health, to you and your loved ones.
