Time to practice??!!

I often hear from folks.. "man, I would love to have your job!". Wow... if you only knew!! It is a blast to own a music store, that is for sure!! But the reality is.. even though I'm surrounded by what I love all day long.. I rarely get a moment to just sit and enjoy it!!

One thing we do at Sandhills is offer music lessons. Now, just coming for 30 minutes a week is good, but not enough.

"Matt, how many lessons do I need to take before I can play?" is a question I hear a lot too. I've been playing for over 30 years myself and I still need lessons.

With any passion, life can interupt. Discipline is what is in store for anyone who wants to play well. I encourage everyone who is taking lessons to practice and stretch yourself to go beyond what you already know.

The end result will amaze you.... and hopefully someone else too!!
