What Learning the Saxophone Taught me About Growth.

1. You Cannot Jump the Process of Learning

For some years now I have been trying to become a professional saxophonist but to no avail. The trainers I have had in the past, unfortunately, taught me some wrong stuff on the instrument. When I got a new sax teacher I had to unlearn some things on the sax.

The truth is, you cannot jump the process of learning. The process you might have to go through to learn something may be different from the process I may have to go through. Understand the stage you are at and conduct personal research on the steps you need to take to get to where you desire to be.

2. You need a mentor/manager

I have realized the power of a good mentor or manager. When you have a good mentor you can see your blind spots and areas you need to work on. Having a new sax teacher has greatly helped my learning of the saxophone. My mentor created a routine for me and I am working to make the routine a part of me. You can find yourself a mentor that you connect with. Your manager tries to know you and he finds a way to work around your time to ensure you are growing.

3. You need to think ahead

Always be proactive. If your trainer shows you a path you should thread, make sure you follow through that path and find ways to improve yourself unless she/he says you should not go past what she/he has shown you. When you think ahead and find a way to learn your craft, you are saying that you are interested in your progress and you have not entirely committed your progress to the hands of someone. The benefit of thinking ahead is, you can gain your independence early enough and manage yourself even when your manager is not there.

4. You need breaks

Know when to have breaks and when not to have breaks. Generally, you need breaks. During my rehearsals, I wanted to finish my rehearsals early but I realized if I rush through my rehearsals I will not grow the way I ought to. I took my time to learn slowly and I took breaks when needed. Sometimes having breaks help you absorb what you are learning.

5. Lack of rehearsals can cost you progress.

We all find it difficult to be consistent in one thing or the other. However, the only way to make progress is to work consistently and persevere. Whenever I do not rehearse my saxophone, I lose progress. It feels as though I am taking one step forward and three steps backward. I tend to lose what I have learned when I do not rehearse. This applies to growth. If you want to grow, ensure you do not break your rehearsals so you do not lose what you have learned.
