Something we tend to not talk about.

I want to acknowledge something that happens to almost everybody but we don't really discuss.
As I'm studying music as an academic subject we point out our strengths and weaknesses and set up ourselves goals to improve which really does help.

There is something in the background that we never really talk about and that's an lack of self-belief. Music is competitive subject and we see others perform and sometimes we feel like were not as good as them or they've been playing an instrument for longer. We don't always think we're great we don't always walk away from a practice and think that was amazing. I'm in a lesson with multiple people with different tastes, background's, influences and standards. not everybody is going to love your work it's as simple as that. it's subjective.

What I do believe is that peer/tutor support helps with growth weather is constructive or a simple compliment. I feel like everybody should go to support each other at their performances it's something we all lacked last year. It helps with the overall performance because you've got some vibes and familiar faces to bounce off. We're all trying to reach the same goal we should all help each other and support one another and put our egos aside.

I wrote this because of the distance between us as a band I don't feel like we all are all on the same page although this is out of my control I do feel like it has knocked my confidence down and some other members of the group.
