It only happens once every four years, and February 29th is just around the corner! What will you do with your extra day? We think it’s a perfect opportunity to spend quality time playing your instrument. Here are four ways to to make your extra day extra musical:

1. LEARN something you’ve never played

Have an all-time favorite rock song, jazz standard, classical piece or bluegrass tune? Today's the day to finally make it part of your repertoire. Not sure where to start? Check out a lesson from one of ArtistWorks’ master instructors, who teach a wide range of popular songs in our courses. 

2. PRACTICE anything that challenges you

Been putting off learning that challenging scale, turnaround or chord progression? Now's the time to jump in and tackle it. Try learning just one section at a time. With the right instruction and a little bit of patience and determination, anything is possible. Hey, it’s an extra day, why not be productive?

3. PLAY more of the music you love today

You've put in a lot of energy learning an instrument, and there's nothing better than enjoying the payoff of sitting down to play for yourself, a friend or loved one. Whether you've been at it for just a week or five years, take some time to appreciate the music you love by playing your favorite song a little longer today. 

4. INSPIRE yourself by going to see live music

Going to an amazing musical performance will inspire you to learn, practice and play! Check out your local listings and support live music in your area. From top acts to local artists, you’ll find that spending some time watching an accomplished player will energize your own musical experience.
